Mountain Khakis sponsors gear sale and bike swap

04/02/2010

Outdoor-lifestyle apparel brand Mountain Khakis has announced that it will sponsor the 2010 edition of the largest grassroots outdoor gear sale and bike swap between Denver and Salt Lake City, the Manufacturers of Outdoor Gear (MOG) Sale & Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association (COPMOBA) Bike Swap. The event will take place in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Saturday, April 10.

The organisers there are likely to be between 40 and 50 regional manufacturers, sales reps and retailers with booths at the MOG, plus a climbing wall, bicycle obstacle course, slackline course and music.

On announcing the date for this year’s event, MOG founder, Jen Taylor, explained: “I hosted a semi-annual event called the ‘Outdoor Manufacturers Forum’ in Grand Junction to network and brainstorm on collective issues and solutions inherent with manufacturing and the outdoor industry. The topic of inventory was a common thread discussed, and the challenges of how to unload overstocks and close-outs, yet avoid stepping on the toes of our retailers.”
