BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB) March 24, 2016
Hooked to a belt loop at the summit of Machu Picchu; wrapped around a sleeping pad while glassing big game in the Rocky Mountains or laced into the eyelets of trekking shoes pounding the Patagonia terrain -- Nite Ize® products are intended to make life easier, safer and more fun even in the most extreme environments.
This Colorado manufacturing company is excited to announce its official brand ambassadors for the 2016 year which include experts in everything from hunting to adventure racing. Throughout the next year, Nite Ize brand ambassadors will share their adventures on the company’s blog and other social channels as they challenge their mind, body and gear all over the world and rely on Nite Ize in some of the most critical conditions.
“Our ambassadors for 2016 are adventurers, advocates, and well-respected members of their communities with whom we are proud to partner,” Rick Case said, Nite Ize founder and CEO. “We love to see the ways these outstanding individuals champion the Nite Ize brand by sharing their uses of our products and we are honored to be along for the journey.”
Meet the team:

In 2010, Moniz was named National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year and in 2015 was the youth winner of the Outdoor Inspiration Award at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market national tradeshow.

Twin Territory: Three young brothers with a mission to get other kids outdoors by organizing free events such as hikes, fishing trips and more. At their organized events, the Garcia brothers ask participants to donate a used video game in an effort to encourage more outdoor activity which they then donate to children in a Salt Lake City hospital who are not able to get outside while recovering.
Adventcha Sistas: Two women, exploring the outdoors one adventure at a time. Determined to summit all 14,000-foot peaks in Colorado with plans to conquer Machu Picchu in Peru later this year, the Adventcha Sistas are empowering other women to explore the outdoors and reach new heights.
