KOR receives Best of Adventure Gear Award by National Geographic.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that KOR Water’s KOR ONE Hydration Vessel has been awarded by National Geographic Adventure Magazine the title of “Best of Adventure Gear” for 2009. Hot on the newsstands today, the KOR ONE shines brightly off the pages with some of the year’s hottest gear — backpacks, jackets, technology, footwear, and more — for adventure’s six realms: mountain, water, forest, snow, desert, and road trips.

The ceremony was held at the National Geographic Museum in Washington D.C., where Adventurer of the Year awards were also given to titans such as mountaineer Rick Ridgeway and Pemba Sherpa, who heroically saved the lives of two fellow climbers on K2 this year. It was an honor to be in their company.
