As a (mostly) lifelong Minnesotan, we love that we get all four seasons here. We’ll endure the negative temps because we love snow for the holidays, and while the spring can get soggy, it allows us to shed some layers and get excited for the summer, where we’ll spend the majority of our time on golf courses and lakes. Then comes the fall, our true underrated season, where it’s just about perfect.

And what, you might ask, does this have to do with this story? Let me explain.

The weather here is also extremely unpredictable, and that’s usually the case for Memorial Day. The frigid temps are gone but the heat wave of late July has yet to arrive. The weather usually falls somewhere in-between but varies wildly. That’s exactly what happened this Memorial Day weekend, when a quick trip up north — everyone goes “up north” here — encapsulated three different seasons in a three-day span. That was actually OK by me — it offered the chance to test out some new gear from Vuori.

Known for their premium, stylish and comfortable performance apparel, I snagged my first Vuori shirt a few months ago and loved it. I work from home and like to stay active, so it was a smart and seamless addition to my wardrobe. And some new items from the brand’s men’s golf collection arrived right before my Memorial Day getaway, which turned out to be the perfect testing grounds.

Aim Short 8″

Our Aim Short is a fairway favorite that looks great with polos, sweaters, and t-shirts.

On a 50-degree Saturday morning, the Aim Trousers were perfect for a lakeside coffee stroll, and they fit right in at the restaurant later that night. Lightweight and stretchy, they would have been great for the golf course, too, but when the weather morphed from spring to summer overnight, I changed to the Aim Shorts to hit the pitch-and-putt with the family.

The Aim Collection (both pants/shorts are 67% Polyester, 25% Cotton and 8% Elastane) is exactly what you’d want at a golf resort. Casual and comfortable enough to be on vacation, formal enough for dinner and drinks and perfect for any golf course.

Strato Tech Hoodie

The unbelievably soft Strato Tee reinvented as a hoodie. This long sleeve layer is moisture-wicking, ultra-soft and ready for sprints and spring training.

And the Sunday Element Half Zip — I love the Agate Green Heather option — perfectly complemented the Aim Trousers, while the Strato Tech Polo — so lightweight and comfy I felt like I wasn’t wearing anything — was the dressed-up casual look I needed for a nicer restaurant. Although my favorite item might have been the one I used for the car ride home, the uber-soft Strato Tech Hoodie. I found it ideal for travel-day comfortability, although you can also wear it on a run or out with friends.

Like everything from Vuori, you have options. And the best part? The timing. Father’s Day is fast approaching, and I never know what to ask for. This year? I finally have some great ideas. You can browse more from Vuori below.

AEW star Jon Moxley will take part in a huge street fight match later this week. His reign as the Continental Champion has been great so far. However, despite him playing fair, a group of stars are challenging him to bring out the beast inside the One True King. The Death Riders have been colliding with the Shane Taylor Promotions for the past few days following Double or Nothing.

On the Dynamite following the pay-per-view, the two factions crossed paths. Things escalated between them when Shane Taylor knocked out Jon Moxley with a huge punch. This attack almost led to the loss of the Death Riders. However, the former AEW World Champion recovered and won the tag team match.

On the latest edition of Collision, the Death Riders’ leader joined PAC and Claudio Castagnoli to take on Shane Taylor Promotion’s Carlie Bravo, Lee Moriarty and Shawn Dean. While Trish Adora tried to disrupt the match, Marina Shafir neutralised her, and the Riders stood tall again.

Tonight on Dynamite, the reigning Continental Champion put his title on the line against Shan Taylor. After many surprise attacks, the two stars finally locked horns. Despite his best efforts, Shane Taylor couldn’t defeat Jon Moxley. After the loss, Taylor decided to attack the Continental Champion. Along with him, the rest of the Shane Taylor Promotion took down the Death Riders.

After the brutal attack, Jon Moxley, who couldn’t speak clearly, claimed that Shane Taylor should have walked away after his loss. However, now that they chose violence, Daniel Garcia laid out a major match. He announced that the Death Riders will take on the Shane Taylor Promotions in a street fight match on this week’s Collision.

“Shane, you could have walked away tonight with your pride,” he said.

It will be interesting to see which faction stands tall later this week.
