Erik's Sponsors
Werner handcrafts fiberglass and carbon fiber paddles in the United States for both touring and whitewater use. Though Erik prefers their 31-ounce Skagit CF IM to tackle the bogs, rivers, and lakes of the Northeast, he finds all their models lightweight, graceful, and durable.
Who makes the best socks on the planet? Simple: Darn Tough. With more than thirty years experience producing the finest socks for long-distance hiking, mountaineering, skiing, running, and mountain biking, Darn Tough knows their stuff. Just ask Erik's feet.
Erik loves the see-through design of Bear Vault's animal-resistant food canisters. And, he likes the lid that can be activated or removed without the use of tools. All Bear Vault products are proudly made in the United States. Approved by the Sierra Interagency Black Bear Group and the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee.
Clothing for cyclists who like comfort, quality, and performance.  Erik relies on DeFeet's U-D-Shurt base layers while his fingers stay toasty in their Duragloves.
Hornbeck Boats, nestled in New York's Adirondack Mountains, produces handmade Kevlar and carbon fiber kayaks and canoes. Erik will soon be paddling a Hornbeck boat during his quest to descend the five longest rivers in the northeast U.S.
GoLite
GoLite is proud to be called a lightweight. Erik enjoys GoLite's Phantom shell, Team Cap, Jam pack, and Roan Plateau jacket while staying light on his feet.
Erik uses GV’s Snow Aerolites, featuring front and rear crampons, Olafin decking, patented pivot system and Easton aluminum frame. He keeps the snow out with their waterproof and breathable gaiters. Winter was never so much fun.
Asolo designs footwear for all needs, in all conditions, at all altitudes: from light walking to the most treacherous climbing. Asolo focuses on fitness, technology, and performance, which results in a great product. Erik's favorites include the Outrider, Broad Peak GV, and Fugitive GTX.
