Suunto at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2012

Summer is officially underway and we’re spending every waking moment we can find hiking, running, biking, climbing, fishing, running and enjoying every ray of sunshine Mother Nature has to offer. Despite our attempts to spend all of our time exploring the outdoors, we've also been working hard in prep for our biggest summer trade show, Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2012.

Outdoor Retailer is a trade show in Salt Lake City sponsored by the Outdoor Industry Association. We prepare all year for summer and winter OR so we can show up among hundreds of other exhibitors throughout the country, put our best foot forward and stand out among the masses.

This year at Suunto’s OR booth we’re celebrating our new booth location and hosting a party on the first night--“The Trail Hour” with special guest Aron Ralston. We’ll be giving away tons of swag and Keller Williams Tickets!

Come check us out at OR for your chance to win! Please post any comments or questions you have below and be sure to share this invite with your friends.

127 Hours and the Suunto Vector

The upcoming movie, 127 Hours, recreating the dramatic true events involving Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who amputated his own arm in order to free himself after being trapped by a boulder should be good. Ralston became trapped for five days (127 hours!) in the isolated canyon of Robbers Roost, Utah in 2003 after a boulder fell on his arm. Ralston amputated his own arm, scaled a 65-feet wall and hiked more than eight miles to find help.
The Suunto Vector plays a very important role in the dramatic movie--documenting every minute, second and hour of the whole ordeal. We can't wait to see the movie, which opens November 5th, 2010.
