Missoula is a great place to live…duh

Monday, October 10th, 2011

The secret is out! Missoula is considered one of the greatest towns in which to live. We have been saying that for years, but now the whole world knows thanks to Outside Magazine. More than 21,000 readers voted, and Missoula is ranked fifth as the best “perfect town” out of 19. Duh.

Readers took culture, the job scene, stressfree living and access to the great outdoors into account when ranking their city. Obviously not everybody can work at Talus (located in downtown Missoula) but everyone can wear a ColdAvenger Pro when hanging out. Wear one to a Griz game so you don’t freeze your mug of. Maybe someone will get a picture of you and you could grace the cover of Outside Magazine. Or perhaps you can just wear one to scare away the crowds of people who are probably flocking here because of that Outside Magazine article. Who said it could only be worn to protect from cold weather injuries? Buy one and keep it by your side at all times.

We’re proud to be from Missoula!

Sebastian Copeland: Adventurer

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

Figuratively speaking, new Talus ColdAvenger athlete Sebastian Copeland wears many hats as a daring and extreme outdoor adventurer, including thinking caps that aid him in protecting the planet.   An avid outdoors-man, Sebastian is also a decorated photographer, as well as an author, lecturer, and environmental activist.  Literally speaking, though, he wears one hat–the ColdAvenger Expedition Balaclava.

This fall, Copeland will embark on a 3,000 mile trek across Antarctica, unsupported. To keep up with Sebastian, visit his website and read his blog at http://sebastiancopelandadventures.com/ We’re happy to be along for the adventure!
Here are few photos Copeland has taken on an excursion to Antarctica.

What’s Up, La Nina?

(Letter found on John’s desk– unfortunately there’s no mailing address. Don’t tell him we published it.)

Lovely La Nina -

Hey, baby.  It was really great to see you last winter.  The NOAA said you might be thinking about coming back and getting crazy again. I just want to let you know that all of the fellas here at ColdAvenger really dig your chilly chill, fluffy lines and plunging temps. Last winter was unforgettable.  And I hope you do the same thing again this year so we can post lots of pictures of you on the internet.

And listen–I know you’re into me, but I also heard that you might be paying a visit to the fellas in the Pacific Northwest and even the Northern Plains again.  Is this true?  Well, I guess I can’t stop you from getting around the country.  But if you go, tell those guys how awesome ColdAvenger is–that we can protect their lungs and airway.  They’ve been hurt before, you know–you’ve caused some of the boys severe chronic cold weather injuries like asthma and the Khumbu Cough.  Apparently they don’t know that it’s safer and more fun with ColdAvenger.

Just get here soon.  And stay cool, baby.

Stay Out Longer,

John B. Sullivan III aka ColdAvenger Pro

Our New Office!

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

We’re finally moving into our new office off Higgins Avenue in the historic block. ColdAvenger has its very own display case in the corner.  Movin’ on up! We have a great view of the “M”, and we even decorated…just in case we get visitors. I guess this means we might have to upgrade some of our t-shirts to polo shirts. Well, maybe not.  If you’re ever in the area, please stop by and say, ” Hey, ColdAvenger dudes.” We’d love to show you the awesome view and our day-glow beer mugs.

The requisite decorations. I don't know where I even found this
