The Brits win in Patagonia again!

Exposure Lights sponsored UK team adidas TERREX have won the 2011 Patagonia Expedition Race and successfully defend their title in this most extreme of endurance events. The win makes it 3 in a row for the top British Team at the event. The race involved kayaking, mountain biking, running and climbing a 500KM course through the wildest parts of Chilean Patagonia.

The team were equipped with the Exposure Lights Joystick Mk.5 with triple cell batteries for unrivaled burn times and versatile multi-sport use in the dark (bike/run/canoe/climb etc.). The team also armed themselves with the Diablo Mk.2 light for when the navigation became more difficult. Keeping their kit weight to an absolute minimum for the event was again part of the winning strategy.

Slowtwitch.com Review on select Exposure Products

Slowtwitch.com has just released a great Exposure Lights review on their website.  Check it out and pass it on!

Side note: The lights reviewed here were provided through the cooperative efforts of CompetitiveCyclist.com and Exposure Lights USA. The folks at Competitive Cyclist were an incredible resource to me in my writing of the reviews, offering tips and insights on both the lights themselves and also the review process. Aaron Martin, the man to speak to at Competitive Cyclist for advice on what lights would be right for you, was the one who suggested the Beacon as a great accessory for making the lights more visible. As one of the most informative sites on the web, it can be easy to forget that they also sell things since it's very easy to think of them as a reference site. But CompetitiveCyclist.com sells Exposure lights (and a lot more), and in conjunction with this review, they've been gracious enough to extend a 15% discount to anyone wishing to purchase an Exposure light or two (or three or six…) with discount code SLWT15. For more information and to view the complete line of accessories, Exposure's website is ExposureLights.com.
