Winter Parkas and Other Great Gear from Northern Outfitters

Dec. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- Winter fun depends on great winter clothing.  Whether it’s a parka, snow pants, mittens, hats, boots…, enjoying winter work or play depends on the quality of the gear .  And it’s well known among extreme cold experts that Northern Outfitters makes the world’s best winter clothing (http://www.northernoutfitters.com/p-44-10-piece-exp-waterproof-system.aspx).

Northern Outfitters’ insulated winter clothes have been tested where few dare to venture – from Alaska’s frozen north to Antarctica and many extremely cold places in between.  It’s a fact that Northern Outfitters insulated winter clothing is worn by the most successful competitors in the world’s most competitive dogsled races. These knowledgeable outdoor experts know that the wrong choice in warm winter clothing could be fatal, Jim Harrison, Northern Outfitters owner, explained.

The fact that these systems can be worn without heavy layers underneath gives the Arctic adventurer an edge on his/her competition. Northern Outfitters’ patented Vaetrex technology wicks moisture away from the body, ensuring that they stay warm even in temperatures down to -60° F.  When your team and your life depends on being able to stay dry and move freely, Northern Outfitters winter clothing fits the bill every time.

Aliy Zirkle, Yukon Quest winner, wears Northern Outfitters gear.  "This system (http://www.northernoutfitters.com/p-43-9-piece-arctic-sys...) is truly amazing. I raced both the Copper Basin 300 and the Iditarod in your gear. The Copper Basin, with minus 50 temperatures, proved to me what a quality product it is. Iditarod was no walk in the park this year, either, and I was confident in Northern Outfitters winter clothing when others where freezing," she wrote, pointing out that she no longer wears bulky multiple layers.

This company has revolutionized winter insulation technology – for winter parkas, pants, boots and the rest – with its patented Vaetrex product.  Vaetrex stands for Vapor Attenuating and Expelling, Thermal Retaining.  In English, that means this clothing retains warmth while wicking away moisture.  It provides a breathable, warm, lightweight, non-bulky winter parka, snow pant and boot system.  This is the very best, most efficient system for warm, breathable winter parkas and other outerwear.

"I want to thank Northern Outfitters. I have used many different types of winter gear for my expeditions in my many years of travel in the Arctic regions,” wrote Albert Marquez of Suwanee, GA.  “Not until I found Northern Outfitters did I really get the cold weather protection that I've been looking for. Your Expedition Arctic Parka (http://www.northernoutfitters.com/p-25-exp-waterproof-par...) is by far one of the warmest and most comfortable that I have ever worn. Last year I traveled from Fairbanks to Barrow.  It was 20 days in blistering conditions with temperatures reaching well below -60° F.  I stayed warm and toasty during this winter trek, thanks to you. Thanks for this outstanding system. I definitely will not trade it for anything else,” he said.

Veteran Arctic adventurer Dwight Miloff of Billings, Montana, wrote about the outstanding wicking properties of the Vaetrex insulation.  "I had always heard that working up a sweat was the first No-No of Arctic survival. The experts need to rewrite that rule,”  he said and went on to explain that he experienced the familiar “sweat down your back” with hard exertion in very cold temperatures.  However when he eased up, “in a short time, I felt dry again without EVER feeling cold. The only time that was uncomfortable was when I was out of my gear in my sleeping bag. I am planning a trip back to the Arctic next season. You can bet I will be using your gear again and this time your company’s extreme cold Sleeping Bag!!  Thanks Again,” he wrote.
