One of the tenets of our business is that you have to believe in the products you represent.
So, with new pack technology, single-wall tents and trekking poles coming down the pike – we took off high into the Needle Mountains to test some products and bag some 14ers with our kids.

Like many things the plan was more complex than it first appeared. Grab a train in Silverton. Hop off in Needleton along the Animas River, hike 8 miles into the wilderness and then climb 3 14ers over 2 days.

Testing trekking poles
How’d it go? Great.

Can you spot the climber on the ridge of Sunlight?
The new larger BD packs carry like a dream. The new Nanoshield fabric on the superlight tents were breathable and the kids’ loved their trekking poles.
