Yukon Arctic Ultra

Stuart Gillett Yukon Arctic Ultra 2006
With the next Yukon Arctic Ultra scheduled to start on February 11th 2006, we're busy equipping competitors with a range of cold weather gear. The 100 and 300 mile races are held on the trail of the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race but differ in that nothing but human power can be used to get you round. We're supplying a new product our Yukon Jacket as well as more familiar products like our Minim 1000 down sleeping bag, Xero down mitts and boots, Diamir 1200 down sleeping bag and Mustagh and Garwhal down jackets. Good luck to Stuart Gillett who tested our new Yukon Jacket in temperatures of -26C in Austria this January (see photo), finding it to be 'toasty warm. In fact every one else there was so impressed that they were wanting similar kit.'

Update:
We are delighted to report that Stuart finished 2nd overall and became the second fastest person over the course and the fastest European. He said: 'many thanks for the jacket that you supplied me for the Yukon Arctic Ultra. [It] performed perfectly in tempertures down to -35c. The light weight and small size was also a huge help.'

Stop press!
