ROCKY S2V Apparel+Footwear In Partnership w/ UltImate Survival Technologies
DEMO DAY, Outdoor Retailer, Utah
Displayed out in the snow---the new to us Rocky Brands SV2 collection of tricked out performance apparel and footwear- so entranced us with its practicality and smart design-we were thoroughly bummed to learn that the sizes available, for now, were only for guys.
Really-the jackets start in a men's medium (American cut)...the kickers -a guy's size 8.
FYI-the company also makes scores of hunting, outdoor and USA military boots...including...
What we saw....was a collection-geared towards the 20's-40's outdoor crowd that likes to push the limits and needs to be safe, warm and comfortable---or urbanites that just want to look cool...as we would not be surprised to see this morph into the lifestyle outdoor brand of tech pieces for the style conscious.
