2011: INTRODUCING APPAREL

Baffin returns to it's roots. A product testing trip to Baffin Island finds the team adventuring through Auyuittuq National Park for a second time.  In 2009 Paul and son Ryan travelled by dogsled and skis with the crew from Angry Planet across the island.  This time all four Hubner boys teamed up with Eric and Sarah McNair.  The six-person team, joined by a couple of sled dogs along for the adventure, set out through the park. 


This trip found the Hubner’s head-to-toe in Baffin Apparel and Footwear. New socks, base layers, mid-layers, soft shell jackets, down insulated coats and pants, and more were all put to the test. The team faced extremely low temperatures and high-winds over the course of the trip.  Even a new prototype for a removable-liner 3-pin cross-country ski boot was worn by Brent (keeping him warm and dry.
