Suunto Quest for Shape Adventure Essentials

Summer is the time to get outside and get active. But what inevitably makes your outdoor activities just a little more fun and a lot more productive is the quality gear you use for your adventures.

Shape Magazine recently did an article on Outdoor Adventure Essentials featuring the gear, tools and toys needed to “conquer the water, road and trails.”

The Suunto Quest was featured under the running section as the only watch on the page. It was paired with the footpod and heart rate monitor to track distance, speed and intensity. It’s a pretty great piece if you ask us! 

Kim Havell shredding every day like it's winter

We simply can't keep up with Suunto athlete Kim Havell--a professional skier and mountaineer who spends her days climbing and  shredding every hill she can get her planks on. As you can imagine, North American summers sometimes put a dent in these plans--at least for most people. But Kim simply finds the snow.

Kim recently took a trip up to Tordrillo Mountain Lodge in Alaska to satiate her skiing addiction. Because we couldn't be there we were super stoked when we saw she had done stories in National Geographic and Powder about her travels so we could live vicariously through her. It's stories like this that hold us over until winter rears her head again.

Kim is now on a mission to climb Mt. Kenya with Challenge21, Africa's second highest peak to document the peak's rapidly disappearing glaciers. 

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.
