The magical land of Kayland

Dear reader,

Allow me a page or so to take you to a magical land called Kay.

The land of Kay is a small planet that very much resembles this one. It is much smaller, and frankly, way better. There are no seasonal changes in Kay because they are unnecessary. There are no troubles with overpopulation, hunger, war or pollution.  The people of Kay figured out all of their global issues long ago and thought them all to be pretty simple. The political climate of Kay is a Libertarian/Anarchist utopia – this works because everyone is very nice and globally conscious.

The native language, in its written form, consists of only four letters and about thirty punctuation symbols. Translations for the following words and concepts cannot be found in the Kayland language: work, theft, choss-pile, crappy beer, ugly, lame, totally lame, unfair, unjust and poorly manufactured. Kay is much like the American folk song “The Big Rock Candy Mountain,” except that it was not inspired by the great depression and there is more of an emphasis on outdoor recreation. 

Kay is half ocean and half land and half ocean (they also have no concept of the “whole”). All of the beaches are perpetually bequeathed with perfect surfing waves and are always lit by fireflies at night. The tallest mountains in Kay reach up to 6,668,000 feet above sea level with enormous granite spires penetrating through magical rainbow clouds, nearly reaching the upper limits of the candycoatosphere. Below the Granite spires lay a wonderland of forested slopes that receive 12 feet of powder each night and are blue-bird everyday. Most of the slopes are between 45 and 90 degrees, but for some reason, nothing ever slides.

As the snow melts and makes its way down, it is gradually converted into the most delicious beer imaginable. This hoppy runoff cascades down beautiful canyons that are lined with walls of every type of stone from perfect limestone to windgate sandstone. By the time it reaches the ocean (which takes exactly 12 years) it has become the most perfect scotch imaginable.

The lowlands of Kay are lush with all sorts of vines, bushes and enormous cigarette trees. Cigarettes are Kay’s primary intergalactic export. Everyone in Kay smokes like a chimney and is incredibly healthy.   

Like, for example, the unicorn, Kay's primary indigenous creature. These unicorns can talk and are always willing to offer infallible advice on how to handle any problem. However, Kayland people rarely have problems so the Unicorns are often quite bored. These unicorns want nothing more than to help others, and so sometimes, lacking the opportunity to do so, they cry sad little unicorn tears and waste their days drinking from the rivers and smoking from the trees until their stomachs upset and they fart glitter in trails sometimes exceeding 12-1/2 feet. Legend has it that it was this circumstance exactly that inspired these charitable creatures to turn their attention to a more needy planet and bestow the following magic unto the WildyX: 

Kayland Women's ZEPHYR Hiking Boot
Kayland Men's ZEPHYR Hiking Boot
Kayland Men's VERTIGO HIGH
Kayland Women's CRUX GRIP (2009/2010)
Kayland Women's M11+
Kayland Women's CONTACT   

After the unicorns were done providing the WildyX with fantastical deals on Kayland footwear, they were quite tired. They had forgotten how much work doing stuff was. So they returned to their home planet and took a nap.

Last I checked, they're still sleeping. But you're not. So come on in and get in on the magic.

Behold the Rabness!!!

Yeah. its summer alright. Our crazy monsoon season seems to have come to a close and we’re now moving into a pretty standard, blistering hot August. That said, I’d like to take a moment to talk about down jackets, soft shell jackets, and of course heavy-duty hard-shell jackets.

I know, it seems seasonally inappropriate, but stay with me hrere. Many of us know that the one sure fire way to beat the heat this time of year is to seek higher ground. Like the other day for instance, my esteemed associate and I decided to go up to Mount Evans and do a little rock grappling. We climbed a route called Road Warrior– it was a very physical climb, and we did find ourselves sweating a little (also cursing, hyperventilating, dry-heaving and crying a little).  But the fact that it was only 65 degrees made us feel like we came out ahead.

Then once we had returned to terra-firma and the clouds started rolling in, I was suddenly quite glad that I had decided to bring my new Rab Men's MICROLIGHT Jacket. The extra 13 ounces in the pack were well worth it. As my partner and looked over the beautiful landscape and reveled in our victory, I couldn’t help but to notice that he was shivering a bit. I, on the other hand was feeling quite cozy. He started hiking like a drill sergeant in order to stay warm, while I lazily and comfortably meandered back up the steep, lush, tundra, smoking many cigarettes and greeting the adorable little marmots as I went.

Moral of the story: Sometimes it’s worth it to carry a little extra weight in the name of comfort.

Other moral of the story: We just scored a huge closeout buy on some radical Rab products that will keep you comfy when you decide to head for the high-country. We’re blowing ‘em out at 35% off retail – which means they’ll probably be gone before winter. So come get some now, and be glad you did once you’re up there.
