Kudos to Polarpak! The Moflow is recognized in National Geographic Adventurer's Best of Adventure Gear 2008 issue.

On Thursday, November 15th, Adventure magazine celebrated all of the gear winners at their Adventurer of the Year Celebration. The event was held at the National Geographic headquarters in Washington, DC.

Adventure created a display that highlighted all the cool new gear including the Moflow. In addition to the Adventurer of the Year Celebration, Adventure plans to display the gear at the Adventure Travel Expos that run through March 2008 -- www.adventureexpo.com.

Proof that tradeshows really do pay off big!

Last weekend, SkirtSports launched their first-ever “SkirtChaser” 5k event, where shorts were definitely optional. The company who first launched the original fitness running skirt design, in Austin during 2005, went back to the "fit city", with whole new twist to the world of running.

The event kicked off with an all-women’s start, followed by a men’s “skirt chaser” start three minutes later and concluded with a post-race happy hour, live entertainment, and a fashion show. The skirts were such a hit, some men actually dressed in wigs and skirts to try to sneak into the women’s start—but, not to worry the Skirt police were out in full force and the men were quickly escorted back.

Bringing out around 300 skirts and skirtchasers the race was filled with pros, local joes, and those who just showed up for the free after party. No matter the reason, everyone had a great time.

Launching a totally new and innovative race series, the Skirts were "skirted out" (as we like to say) and had Austin taken by surprise....

Get ready Tempe, as the Skirts are coming in full force on February 29th.

Are they Skirts or SkirtChasers?

Mendy, BLASToutdoors President and MC to the race, gets the ladies ready for their start.
