Where will your adventures take you in 2013? There are endless possibilities and we all have different goals but we will all need to be hydrated to accomplish them. That is why New England Outside is starting 2013 with an AVEX bottle giveaway!
AVEX recently provided New England Outside with a few Highland and Brazos bottles to review. I was very impressed with both bottles and that is why I am excited to be able to give a few bottles to some lucky readers!
What you can win:
The Highland bottle is a 16 oz. stainless steel bottle with double wall and vacuum insulation. It also has an AUTOSEAL lid for spill-proof one handed operation. This bottle is a lot lighter than an insulated thermos and is a great way to enjoy hot drinks at the office or during short hikes.
The Brazos bottle is an indestructible BPA free plastic bottles designed for hiking, gym or everyday use. It also has the AUTOSEAL lid for one handed operation along with a built in carabineer for easy carrying. The Brazos is a great alternative to a standard Nalgene bottle.
How you can win:
I am giving away 4 Highland bottles and 2 Brazos bottles and there will be 4 total winners which mean there are many chances to win. The first and second place winners will each receive 1 Brazos bottle and 1 Highland bottle. The third and fourth place winners will each receive a Highland bottle.
2013 has just begun so it is fitting that this contest has an outside goal’s theme. You have a lot of opportunities this year so I am giving you five opportunities to win!

One of my goals is to get my daughters hiking with me more. This would be easier to have some hot chocolate (from an insulated bottle) at the top of the mountain!
Kristin
My goal is to hike Mount Washington at least twice. Staying hydrated up there is super important, and I'm still looking for a good reusable water bottle. When it gets cold, it would be an added treat to have hot tea to keep me going, too!
Grant Ritter
Steve, that is a great goal!
Grant Ritter
Kristin, Wow that is impressive that you seek to climb the gnarliest peak in the east at least twice! Best of luck and be sure to stay hydrated!
Kristin
We will see. I'll have a year to do it twice, which seems doable… summiting, however, is the tricky part!
Lauren
Hello. Just came across this blog and I want to say that I love it. Will be checking up on it repeatedly through my first winter away from New England. Have some extra great adventures for me!!
The Fam
I just had a baby on the 1st! I'm looking forward to getting back into racing.

My 2013 goal is to run the Wapack Trail Race this summer. An AVEX bottle would definitely help with hydration before and after the race.
Jennifer
I run road races on a monthly basis and water is a must, before and after. I'd love to win! celticsdraftee AT aol DOT com

My goal for 2013 is to summit Mt. Washington on July 4TH! We already have reservations at Lakes of the Clouds hut for the night! I sweat so much I always have to carry extra (more then the recommended amount) This bottle would help for that! I also could use it in the gym as I sweat a lot there too

Oh yeah! Started off the year with a New Years Day race. My partner and I do races just about every month of the year 🙂 In the winter you gotta bundle up a bit.

I'm planning a wedding for this coming August. It's not an epic adventure, but it will be an epic moment in my life. I'll probably be sucking down lots of water to calm my nerves and deal with the warm weather and all. sethrich[at]hotmail[dot]com
