Gregory Pack Giveaway

We just launched our May giveaway on RockCreek.com, and it's a good one! This month we have a Gregory pack to give away, and it's winner's choice, either a Gregory Z55 or Jade 50 Pack.

These are both great ultralight backpacking packs from Gregory. If you're planning a trip in warm weather, you'll appreciate the new Jetstream suspension system, which allows for unprecedented airflow between the pack and your back while providing great support for those heavy weekend loads. They have a central aluminum stay made of hollow aircraft aluminum, which gives you great support without adding much to the weight of the pack. The Z55 or Jade 50 would also make great crag packs. Backpacker Magazine named this the "Best All-Around Weekend Pack" for 2007, and one of their testers gave it a great endorsement: "This is the most comfortable pack I've worn all year- in any category."

Can't wait to see if you win the contest? Pick up a Gregory Z55 or Jade 50 Pack from Gregory today at RockCreek.com.

$300 prAna Shopping Spree

Come by RockCreek.com and sign up for this month's giveaway, a $300 prAna shopping spree, good for anything we have on the site from prAna. We've just loaded up the latest Spring clothing, and there are plenty of great shirts for climbing or just hanging out, also some pants for climbing or yoga, and as always some very cool chalk bag designs. Remember that you can sign up for the contest every month, even if you're already signed up for the newsletter. Just put your email address in and click "Subscribe", then review your preferences and click "Update Subscription." Good Luck! Sign up for the prAna giveaway now >>

prAna's a cool company that we've been involved with quite a bit over the last couple years. We're one of the original members of their Wind Power Initiative, which means that 100% of the electric power used by our retail stores and warehouse have been offset with certified green-e wind power credits. Green offsets have been getting a bad rap lately, but if you do the research, the company that owns prAna is one of the world's largest wind power purchasers. Through the leadership of companies like prAna, power companies have begun to expand their production of wind and other greener sources of energy, and the general public has started to pay more attention to the sources of their electricity.

Deuter Pack Giveaway

This month's giveaway on RockCreek.com is a Deuter Backpack or Kid Carrier.

Deuter has long been a leader in the climbing, mountaineering, and mountain biking packs market.

Since 1898, when founder Hans Deuter first began making postal bags for the Bavarian Post Office, Deuter Packs has been committed to high-quality construction and industry leading innovation. Deuter also has a long established commitment to outdoor adventure.

Highlights include the 1934 German Himalayan Expedition, where Deuter-Tauern backpacks helped make the trip a success. Legendary German mountain climber Hermann Buhl summated Nanga Partat (8125m) in 1953 with Deuter packs, tents, and bags (before the tent division became its own company). What will you do with a Deuter pack?

The first Aircomfort backpacks were introduced in 1987, and this continues to be one of the key elements of Deuter�s line. Over the last decade, Deuter has continued to push the limits of pack design, introducing new technologies such as their Advanced Aircomfort System. The Deuter KidComfort packs bring a new level of design excellence to the world of family hiking and backpacking. Deuter packs have quickly become a staff pick, and our most popular pack line.
