During the OR 2011 Winter Market, Woody was good enough to demonstrate the stellar OutDry system--a technology that means waterproof clothing actually IS waterproof. (Imagine that.)

PlanetDo.com is presently in beta, and is available to willing beta-tester active outdoor sports nuts. Visit http://www.planetdo.com.

PlanetDo.com is a party for the active outdoor community at large--Uniting A World That Can't Sit Still. So far, that includes Alpine & Nordic Skiers, Snowboarders, Snowshoers, Mountain Bikers, Road Cyclists, Trail Runners, Campers, Hikers, Paddlers and Climbers. So far...
