Sports Product Review

Outdoor fanatics unite! If skiing, climbing, hiking kayaking or other adrenaline boosting activities are your cup of tea, then there’s a new online community where you can meet other like-minded thrill-seekers.

W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore) and the GORE-TEX brand  have launched, MyExperienceMore.com, a new community geared towards outdoor enthusiasts of all levels and activities. MyExperienceMore.com provides a forum for these individuals to communicate with one another and share their outdoor experiences via photos, videos and message boards.

MyExperienceMore.com community members will benefit from special promotions and offers from Gore’s partner brands and retailers. The community will also highlight upcoming events across the country and fundraisers for related non-profit organizations.

Part of the launch is “Experience More Challenge,” an online contest in which community members have the chance to win the experience of their dreams. Members can submit photos of themselves “experiencing more” outdoors, and the online community will rate these experiences. Entries receiving a certain average rating will then be considered for six finalist positions, chosen by a panel of Gore representatives. The six finalists will receive GORE-TEX® gear and will be reevaluated by the online community, who will vote for the winner of the “Experience More Challenge.” The Grand Prize Winner will receive up to $10,000 towards planning his/her own dream experience, including expenses and gear. Additionally, the GORE-TEX® brand will donate $5,000 to one of 10 participating outdoor non-profits, to be selected by the Experience More Challenge winner.

Though still in its initial phase, MyExperienceMore.com is already a robust and easily-navigated social community. The site is great-looking and fun to be on. If you are the one in the office who delights at the weather forecast promising blizzard conditions because you know it means new powder, now you know where you can go to find more people just like you.
