A new season means all new styles at Uncle Dan’s! Fall arrivals are pouring in, and our staff has been hard at work getting them ready for you in time for cooler weather. Read on to meet some of our team members and find out what they’re most excited about this fall at Uncle Dan’s.
Madison
Store: Uncle Dan’s Highland Park
Favorite Outdoor Activities: Madison spends as much of her time in the sunshine as possible, hiking, paddle boarding and kicking back in her hammock!
Fun Fact: One of her goals is to visit at least two national parks each year.
Favorite Fall Gear: Madison is very excited about Patagonia’s Micro Puff Jacket. The super warm-for-its-weight layer will give her the ability to spend more time outdoors when temperatures start to drop. And since you never know what kind of weather you’ll get at any point of the day in Chicago, it’s ultra lightweight and packable design makes it easy to always be prepared.

Favorite Outdoor Activities: He loves scuba diving, canoeing, backpacking and spending time outdoors with his wife and son.
Favorite Fall Gear: Jesse is super stoked about the Osprey Farpoint 55 Backpack because it is so versatile and he can use it for all of his families traveling, camping and backpacking needs. It’s perfect for pretty much every situation and can store so much.
