Vasque footwear is pleased to announce that Outside China magazine has selected their Mantra Mid GTX for the 2010 Gear of the Year award in the Light Hikers category thanks to their versatility, comfort and style. Also receiving honorable mention within the Hiking Boot category is the Vasque Wasatch GTX for its fit and performance.

Our team is very excited to report the Breeze Low GTX as the selection for Men’s Journal Best Hiking Shoe of the Year award.  After extensive testing by the publication’s editors and staff, the Breeze Low GTX was chosen because of its ability to handle long hard hikes without being a stiff, heavy boot.
 

PROBAR founder Art Eggertsen and the Darby Communications team had a marvelous and delicious, star-studded evening last Wednesday in Asheville, NC.

Goodhew has paired up with local Chattanooga humanitarian, Jordan Thomas, and his organization, the Jordan Thomas Foundation, to help raise funds for children with traumatic injuries. Jordan Thomas, 20, lost both legs in a boating accident in 2005. He has since raised $500,000 for prosthetics for children in need through his foundation. As a result of his honorable life work, Thomas is a nominee for the CNN Hero of the Year award.

Every successful business reaches a point when it’s time to give back. PROBAR is there. That’s how PROBAR president Jules Lambert came to talk to MBA students at Columbia Business School this fall at the university’s invitation.
