Green Guru Gear Shows How It's Done At Outdoor Retailer

Outdoor Retailer Summer Trade Show is the industry's premier marketplace for manufacturers and buyers to mingle and see what's coming down the pike in the next buying season. It's where we went this year to officially present our Green Guru Gear Label products to every major producer and retailer of outdoor and lifestyle products in the country and abroad. So, how did it go... you ask?

How many ways to say this. Um, Green Guru is going to be the best, well-known sustainable manufacturer of outdoor gear, bags and accessories. Anywhere.
People love what we are doing and how we're doing it. We were thanked so many times for being absolutely committed to creating unique and valuable products that are about as eco-friendly as you can get. I'm gonna get a big head over this if I'm not careful.
I am pleased to tell you that Green Guru is making it's mark and will be in some of the coolest stores in the country this holiday season and for next year's spring gear spree. Also, our B2B Division is up and running, and we'll be making some goodies for companies you know and love.

Road Trip 101
We loaded up the eco-ambulance with crew, mtn bikes, 70 gallons of veggie oil, our hand-crafted booth, some cool products and we hit the road for Salt Lake City. After 5 days in town, we were able to go for a bike ride outside of town, I think one run was called The Pipeline.
The views of the city were incredible with sunset colors and cool breezes awakened our senses to why we love to be outside as much as do.

The next morning we found one more opportunity to collect some dirt, the hard way. Heading down a trail on Park City Mountain Resort we unfortunately suffered a mild casualty, but his bike is okay, so all is well. At least we resourced a few chain-links and two bike tubes!


Work hard, play hard people.
There is no better time to be alive!

THE DENVER POST - Going Green - Back To School Article




Featured in the Denver Post August 7, 2007, Ecologic Designs' Green Guru Gear was featured in a back to school gear article highlighting environmentally friendly products.

"Why we like it: Made from recycled billboard materials that would have otherwise end up in landfills; looks like a work of art."

Thanks for the great review DENVER POST.
