Today on the show Colin, Producer Dave, and Outdoor Industry Insider Eoin Comerford have some innovative suggestions for the outdoor industry. Innovation in the outdoors is a misunderstood word. It's often only applied to the performance of the apparel, gear, and footwear that the industry produces. And while there will surely be advances that will improve the stuff we make the opportunity for the industry to innovate lies more within our approach to making and marketing that stuff. On this episode we take a look at what can be learned from (gasp!) fast fashion as well as the opportunities that lie within experiential marketing. We of course wrap things up with The Parting Shot by lobbing a rock at the latest news to come out of Authentic Brands.

It's a return fire episode as Patagonia joins The Rock Fight to defend their efforts on PFAS! Recently on The Rock Fight Colin was critical of a new video from Patagonia that detailed their journey to remove forever chemicals from their product line. In Colin's point of view he thought Patagonia was late to the party and this was a case where the brand was behind their peers rather than leading. Patagonia heard that episode , and they're here today to throw some rocks of their own. Today on the show Patagonia's VP of Global Product Footprint, Matt Dwyer, joins Colin to talk about the path Patagonia has taken when it comes to PFAS, the unique challenges they faced in order to remove these chemicals from their product line, and offer a glimpse into what lay ahead for outdoor product innovation.
