Hot Chillys Partners With Everest Climbers: The SuperSherpas

Posted: 07/28/2008 In Category: Outdoor Manufacturer

Posted By: Brook Sutton

San Luis Obispo, Calif. – Hot Chillys, maker of premium base layers, proudly announces its sponsorship of the world-renowned mountaineers Apa and Lhakpa Sherpa. Known collectively as the SuperSherpas, Apa Sherpa has summited Mt. Everest a record, 18 times; and Lhapka Sherpa holds the world-record Everest ascent time. Hot Chillys commends their top-tier athleticism and altruistic humanitarian efforts on behalf of the children of Nepal.

Hot Chillys is a multi-textured company that takes having a good time as seriously as it takes designing the industry-leading performance wear. It has a longstanding commitment to supporting amateur athletes who embody that spirit and dedication.

The SuperSherpas bring a new dimension to the Hot Chillys sponsorship program. They are widely recognized as two of the top mountaineers in the world. Equal to their athletic achievement and quest for adventure is their dedication to promoting conscientious mountaineering and social activism. Apa and Lhapka are tirelessly committed to providing educational infrastructure and opportunities to the children of Nepal.

Apa Sherpa wore Hot Chillys Micro-Elite Chamois on his world-record eighteenth ascent of Mt. Everest on May 22, 2008. He and Lhapka will promote the brand during their public appearances across the United States. More importantly, they will wear Hot Chillys when they are out doing what they love to do: climbing the world’s biggest mountains.

Review ThumbnailMakoto Xergame
June 29, 2009
When the current owners of Makoto USA saw the game that would become Makoto at an arcade in 2002, they immediately realized its potential to provide both physical and mental fitness for anyone, from athletes to the elderly to folks in rehab. The SNEWS® team first saw a Makoto at the Health & Fitness Business show in Denver several years ago and, after playing it (over and over, we must admit), we had to get one for the office.

WS 100 endurance run observations: Product, privacy and sloshing packs
"I was hanging out helping brain-dead runners summit the Devil’s Thumb climb in the Western States 100 last Saturday, June 27. It’s a nasty, rocky, 1,500 foot climb over 1.8 miles that comes for most in the hottest part of the day. And it was pretty hot, dry and dusty last weekend. As I escorted runner after runner from the top to the medical aid weigh-in, got their bottles and packs refilled, and"
