Andrew Skurka

professional backpacker + supervisor devotee

When professional backpacker Andrew Skurka says "Go lighter," he means it. You need to pack pretty light, after all, if you hope to duplicate either of his record-breaking hikes: the 6,875-mile Great Western Loop, or the 7,778-mile Sea-to-Sea Route. Over the course of his long-distance hikes throughout and across North America, Skurka learned the hard way how to shed unnecessary baggage and has ultimately reduced his non-perishable pack weight from a backbreaking forty-nine pounds down to a mere six! Lightening the load on his back prompted him to think about other ways to lighten up, and now Skurka, in addition to his endurance feats of backpacking artistry, counts himself as a crusader in the fight to lighten our collective footprint on the planet.

We're happy to have him doing a little crusading for us as well, in our efforts to lighten up the loads of athletes who are out there challenging and changing the world. Skurka's favorite headwear, the Headsweats Supervisor, weighs in at a mere two ounces-the perfect fit for anyone who wants to stay light, cool, and dry while you're walking, running, riding, or rowing. Skurka has been a devotee of our products since he discovered them in 2005. Now it's your turn. Lighten up. Go Headsweats.
