Bottom Left-Right:  Ryan Kwanten from True Blood, Dean Geyer from Single Ladies and Ariel Winter from Modern Family 

This year’s Sundance Film Festival marks the 4th year that Timberland has been the festival’s official footwear and outerwear sponsor. What better place for their outdoor-tested winter boots than gorgeous Park City, Utah?

Timberland took the opportunity at Sundance to share their Earthkeepers approach to festival goers by inviting them to make their own personal pledge to help protect the environment.

Check out some of the earth-friendly pledges made by Sundance attendees:

The wait is over. TYR’s top-secret, highly-anticipated, top-of-the-line Hurricane Freak of Nature wetsuit is here. Now, you may be saying to yourself, “Wow, that’s a hefty price tag for a wetsuit!”  A quick rundown of the Hurricane Freak of Nature’s state-of-the-art engineering, along with all the extra bells and whistles, and you’ll see what all the fuss is about!

 First off, the Hurricane Freak of Nature is constructed solely out of Yamamoto’s extremely flexible #40 neoprene—hailed by TYR as “the fastest rubber on the planet”. This gives the Freak of Nature 40% more stretch than their Category 5 wetsuit.

This Ferrari of a wetsuit also boasts a 0.17 specific gravity which promises superior body position in the water. On top of that, there are strategically-placed segments of aerated neoprene on the chest, hips and thighs to maximize buoyancy.

The top-shelf Hurricane Freak of Nature also comes with an exclusive matching cap, a complete wetsuit care kit, its own serial number (yes, it’s that legit!), and it comes packaged in a James Bond-esque silver metal briefcase.

We can’t think of a better holiday present for the triathlon athlete in your life—even if that athlete happens to be you!

During this exclusive early launch, be one of the first to get your hands on the Hurricane Freak of Nature wetsuit before it becomes available in Spring 2012.
