Northern Outfitters is supporting the Yukon Quest by providing a portion of every purchase made through the Northern Outfitters online store at http://yukonquest.com/site/shop-online-stores/ to the Yukon Quest.

Northern Outfitters is the Official Cold Weather Gear of the Yukon Quest and so this partnership was a natural fit.

"Northern Outfitters is delighted and proud to be invited by the Yukon Quest to become part of the Team as the Official Cold Weather Gear of the Yukon Quest,” said Jim Harrison, President of Northern Outfitters. "The Yukon Quest distills the essence of the sport of dog mushing and the essence of Northern Outfitters – no compromise.

"The Yukon Quest is the pinnacle of hardcore mushing and we make hardcore gear for hardcore folks – with the Yukon Quest we're right where we want to be.”

"It is exciting to be able to announce yet another innovative partnership,” said Wendy Morrison, executive director of the Yukon Quest International Association Canada.

"Shopping at the Northern Outfitters' online store will help provide funding for the Yukon Quest and also give customers a product that we can proudly recommend.”
