Actually, according to Webster's New College, portage appears to be "a distinctive period or stage of life" in which we consume "a rich sweet fortified red wine." But that's what you get for letting an English major onto the list! But, carrying on in the spirit of Tyvek drysuits, I was going through the latest Sierra Trading Post catalog last night and noted that they are selling Polartec Stretch Fleece Socks, 100% percent polyester, in several colors including "natural". And, rather than asking them what color "natural" polyester is, I thought it would be more educational --- and possibly more amusing --- to ask PaddleWise!
