Keep that body HYDRATED!

Everyone knows that it is important to
drink water...but that doesn't mean we are
always drinking enough. It doesn't matter what you are doing, your body needs water before, during, and after activity to maintain good performance. With warmer days headed our way, even more water is needed for the body to stay hydrated in order to make up for water loss through sweat.
    Here at Summit, we have a variety of water bottles and hydration packs to fit your need for hydration in whatever activity you do. One of our most popular choices for a water bottle is the Camelbak better bottle. This particular bottle comes with a straw and bite valve lid creating ease when drinking. After purchasing one of these better bottles, many customers have reported that they actually end up drinking more water than they did before just because they love the bottle! (and they come in kids too!)
     If you're particular activity doesn't work best with having to carry around a bottle, you will most likely be better off with a pack. By using this, your hands will be free to use as you climb, bike, run, hike etc. Our hydration packs in the store will hold 2 to 3 liters of water at a time! If you need to be hands free but don't want to wear a backpack, don't fret!...we have waist packs too!

Stop by Stillwater Summit and check out all the different ways to stay hydrated!

**Other hydration brands carried in the store include Nalgene and Osprey.

Shipment of the day: MORE CHACOS!

If we have missed helping you get into the pair of Chacos you needed due to lack of size in the right style, then come in soon!! Today we received a new shipment of some of the most supportive, comfortable and durable sandals you will ever wear!
     While Chaco also makes shoes and flips, around here most people know them for their sandal line. Many of their sandals use a Vibram sole, (a trusted sole on many hiking and trekking boots) so you know that this sandal is good to go wherever you do! Another great factor to Chacos besides their sole and support is the webbing. When trying on any pair of shoes, the wearer can think that they are too tight, or that their foot is too narrow; by constructing the sandal using Adjust'em Fit adjustable straps, Chaco has solved this problem. The webbing goes through the sandal allowing adjustability for and even better fit! They are good for your feet, comfortable, durable and come in SO many different colors! So what's stopping you? Come to Stillwater Summit to get the perfect pair of sandals that will prepare you to take on summer! (or winter if you choose to sport them wearing socks!)

Stars in Summit Shirts!

    Just yesterday the new movie Cowgirls 'n' Angels was filming just outside the shop! The scene being shot included the two main characters played by Bailee Madison, recently seen in Just Go With It alongside Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston,  and James Cromwell, known for is famous roles in Babe, The Green Mile, and the television series Six Feet Under. Our employees and customers had the opportunity to watch the shoot from our very own store front.

    At the end of the day, both Bailee and James became proud owners of their very own Stillwater Summit t-shirt! ...and yes, their pictures with their shirts will be going on our wall! Your picture can too! If you take a picture in your Summit T during your outdoor excursions, we would love to put your photo up in our store. If you don't have one of these shirts, stop by soon to get yours!

Wet 'n' Wild!

   Most of Stillwater Summit's shoppers come into the store looking for gear and apparel for their next camping or climbing trip. Although we made a new addition to our place about a year ago, sometimes customers fail to notice the kayaks hanging at the top of the walls! In the shop we have a selection of recreation kayaks from Perception. Here is what they had to say about their product: 

    Fun on the water for everyone – it’s what our recreation kayaks are all about. But what makes a Perception different is that we want kayaking to be part of your active lifestyle, which doesn’t happen in a slow, bulky boat. Our recreational kayaks offer speed, control, and comfort you’d never expect, with the manageability and stability you do. Once you’ve paddled one out on the lake, you’ll wish next weekend was here already.

 

 

   Not only do these boats provide fun on the water for you, but as you can see in the first photo, you and a friend for family member can share a kayaking experience in the same kayak!! Whether you prefer to sit in or sit on top, we have a kayak for you. These boats are also fairly light wait which provides ease when loading them to head out to the lake! 
   Come by Stillwater Summit and check out this new activity you can add to your summer vacation!

Barefoot Sports!

Attention FiveFinger wearers:




Over the past two days we have received a new shipment of FiveFingers!
 
If you have recently been in and we have not had what you were looking for, please stop by soon. We are hoping that this new stock has helped solve that problem! 





 If you are new to the barefoot shoe idea, or even completely opposed to the looks of the "toe shoes", here are the top 5 reasons to have a pair straight from Vibram:

5 Reasons to Wear Vibram FiveFingers:

1. Strengthens Muscles in the Feet and Lower Legs—Wearing Vibram FiveFingers will stimulate and strengthen muscles in the feet and lower legs, improving general foot health and reducing the risk of injury.
2. Improves Range of Motion in Ankles, Feet and Toes—No longer 'cast' in a shoe, the foot and toes move more naturally.
3. Stimulates Neural Function Important to Balance and Agility—When wearing Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility.
4. Eliminate Heel Lift to Align the Spine and Improve Posture—By lowering the heel, your bodyweight becomes evenly distributed across the footbed, promoting proper posture and spinal alignment.
5. Allow the Foot and Body to Move Naturally—Which just FEELS GOOD.


Ever since Stillwater Summit began carrying these barefoot shoes, they have really taken off! They have continued to make a huge difference in many of our customer's athletic ability.
A common comment people make as to why they would not like them is that it makes them uncomfortable to have things between their toes. However, once a pair of FiveFingers is on your feet, it is only a short matter of time before the feeling of something between your toes turns into feeling comfortably barefoot and yet protected.

With so many different styles for various activities, and so many different colors, we hope to help you choose the best FiveFinger for you!
