SmartWool was born on a simple belief: keeping feet comfortable on the slopes. The company has worked with and played in Merino for nearly two decades. So when it comes to Merino, we are the pioneering experts. Today, the company offers year-round technical Merino clothing tough enough for life in unpredictable mountain climates. Inspired by living and playing in the rugged Colorado Rockies, SmartWool products are designed to get the most out of the inherent benefits of Merino while delivering extraordinary comfort to help you do what you love to do longer. Every sock, every piece of clothing, every accessory has been tested and refined to serve the ultimate goal: maximizing your comfort by making a smarter, capable product. That’s why we call it SmartWool.

LineBreak is a global originator of compression and thermoregulatory sportswear. We are proud to be involved in this year's Wilderness Society WildEndurance because it gives us the opportunity to demonstrate how well our range of compression tights and undergear performs under the harsh conditions of such an event. As training volume intensifies, recovery between sessions is paramount which is why we recommend adding compression tights to your recovery regime. During training and the event itself, maximum endurance and comfort can be achieved through the thermoregulatory benefits of our garments which maintain optimum body temperature in both hot and cold conditions whilst providing improved circulation to working muscles.
Between now and WildEndurance 2013, all participants can purchase anything from the LineBreak Compression range at 40% OFF!! Simply visit www.linebreak.com.au and use the code WE1240DC to receive your discount.

We are very pleased to have Australian Bananas sponsoring bananas for your convenience at checkpoints.
Is it a no-no or is it a na-na?
The last thing the world needs is another supersweet,
super-processed energy drink, chocolate
snack or muesli bar. The truth is, despite their flashy
health claims, your average energy snack just
doesn't stack up next to an Australian Banana.
In stark contrast to its factory-made competitors,
the Aussie banana has no added sugar, no caffeine,
no fat, no cholesterol and no nasty chemicals.
Bananas are packed with natural carbohydrates,
vitamin B6 and potassium - a balanced blend of
goodness that makes them ideal for restoring
tired muscles or boosting bored brains.
Bananas are also great for tuning up your nervous
system - they quite literally, make your body sing.
It's why you'll often find elite athletes and dancers
munching on a banana after a workout or between
performances.
Enjoy an Aussie Banana today
