PrimaLoft® Announces Winners of ‘Shove It’ Contest

The PrimaLoft^® team sends three cheers to Susan Shinkai from The Natural Resource and Kyle Abrahamsen with Kiss My Face, winners of the PrimaLoft^® ‘Shove It’ contest that was held at the Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in January. The contest celebrated the launch of PrimaLoft^® INFINITY, PrimaLoft^® Insulation’s newest development.

Shinkai and Abrahamsen were among the over 70 participants who revealed their shoving prowess by stuffing a sleeping bag filled with PrimaLoft^® INFINITY into a narrow cylinder with a plunger. The contest was to demonstrate first-hand the compressibility of the new insulation.

Both winners will receive the new Eastern Mountain Sports Boreal 40° sleeping bag insulated with PrimaLoft^® INFINITY .
