Merrell
Oh, if only we had a dollar for every time someone asked us what kind of hiking boots we recommend…
So to answer your questions everyone, we recommend Merrell! You can find most of our guides sporting Merrell shoes, and of course (and probably what you really care about anyway), you can win tons of awesome Merrell giveaways at our happy hours and big events. But just be careful—they say once you start wearing Merrell shoes, you really never go back.
Gore
Gore created GORE-TEX® and WINDSTOPPER® fabrics, which have set the standard for all outerwear today. They are a proud sponsor of Urban Escapes and you can be sure to see your guides sporting Gore clothing on almost all of our trips. We’re not the only ones who enjoy the benefits of Gore’s fabulous products, though! Become a Frequent Escaper and you’ll get an awesome goody bag of Gore toys. And did you know that Gore was selected as “Pound-for-pound, the most innovative company in the U.S.” for 2005 by Fast Company Magazine and is number two on Fortune‘s list of “100 best companies to work for” in the U.S., and one of the few companies to have appeared on that list every year? Yup, we love them too!
Crunch Gym
Crunch is a health club chain that leads the industry in fusing fitness and entertainment. Headquartered in New York City, Crunch serves over 100,000 members with 28 gyms in New York, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. Renowned for its one-of-a-kind group fitness classes and unique programming, Crunch is more than a gym. Urban Escapes and Crunch have partnered up to provide New Yorkers with all sorts of exciting ways to exercise outside.
Tough Mudder
It’s called the toughest one-day event on the planet for a reason—Tough Mudder puts together 7-mile obstacle courses that test all around toughness, strength, stamina, fitness, camaraderie, and mental grit. And of course you need to prepare, so we’ve teamed up with them to provide training weekends that encompass all of the obstacles and, you guessed it… free beer… to create the most fun and intense two-day event on the planet.
Long Trail
One of the tastiest and most eco-friendly brews around, Long Trail is the perfect beer to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Brewed in the beautiful state of Vermont, Long Trail has been an Urban Escapes favorite and we’re proud to partner up and provide you delicious beers on some trips and of course, at our famous happy hours.
And did you know that Long Trail just bought Otter Creek? That’s twice as many good beers that we get to try now!
Lightload Towels
The only beach towels that fit in your pocket and the only hand towels that are survival towels: Lightload Towels. Lightload towels are a proud sponsor of Urban Escapes and all of our guides use them for their backpacking expeditions. They fit in the palm of your hand and are super absorbent, which makes them great add-ons to any hike. Want to try them? Ask your guide!
