“I’m going to Africa! For Free!” exclaimed Miller after learning of his win. “As an avid reader of Backpacker magazine, I’m always dreaming of amazing places to explore, and Kilimanjaro is on the top of my list.” Miller continued, “I’m also really looking forward to test out the new wicking cotton base layer from Polarmax. I’m a huge fan of cotton, so I’m excited to see how it performs in the varied weather conditions on the climb.”

Miller and his guest will be accompanied by author, adventurer and Kilimanjaro expert Macon Dunnagan. Dunnagan has just completed three successful ascents of Kilimanjaro in 3 weeks, a new record, while wearing Polarmax TransDRY cotton.
