About Green Outdoors


My name is Oliver Nissen and this is my new weblog/website that I hope will interest anyone passionate about the clothing they use to partake in outdoor sports and cycling.

Green Outdoors features opinions, commentary and advice about general outdoor sport products, which may mean I occasionally talk about sports as diverse as cycling, snowboarding and canoeing.

You'll find in this blog philosophical musings on outdoor sports apparel (and maybe the occasional snippet on equipment too) of the sort I don't think you'll find anywhere else. Something free of marketing spin and eager to challenge the status quo. I don't promise anything too deep, but as I've been writing much of this material, most of my preconceptions about my "dream outdoor wardrobe" have changed, and perhaps I'll get you too thinking differently about your clothing.

I am representative of many younger consumers ("Generation Y") in that I like to partake in a very wide variety of sports. Thus I won't solely focus on the traditional (and trade) concept of outdoor sports, but include information relevant to a wide variety of sports. That being said, because I'm a bit of a geek there's precious little banter about what is cool - much of the focus is on technical aspects performance clothing.
