Meet Max
I own and operate Alaska Fly Out Trout. We do 3-10 day fly out float trips in the backcountry of Alaska. Passing through and witnessing untouched ecosystems in Alaska is why I do what I do. I love the wild. The rafting, the fishing, the camping, and the scenery is my makeup. Let’s just say my kids (3 and 6) have done things a lot of adults dream of doing.

What do you love about the Burrow Hoodie?
The burrow hoodie is really a perfect layer for the Alaskan climate. The grid fleece insulates but also wicks sweat really well. Mildly water resistant. The hood is amazing for sleeping in your sleeping bag and under a rain jacket with a hat on. My clients receive a unique custom burrow hoodie for our adventure and often ends up wearing it non stop on the river abandoning layers they brought. I have a serious color collection going at this point and it’s always tough to choose which two I bring with me for the week.
