Coleman - Mike Haugen - 2007 Everest Expedition

An experienced mountaineer, Mike Haugen knows the value of quality equipment. As a Coleman® Exponent® gear field tester, we rely on his expertise to develop gear for people who push limits. “We make prototypes for Mike’s expeditions and then use his specific suggestions to evolve the product,” said James Christians, Coleman Product Manager. “If it’s good enough for Mike in the toughest conditions faced by the pros, we know it’ll stand up to just about anything.”

Since climbers spend some time at base camp getting acclimated to the altitude, they need at least some of the comforts of home. Mike’s favorite expedition food is chocolate covered banana chips. “I shop for expedition food by eating two double cheeseburgers,” he said. “The nausea that sets in resembles the nausea that happens at altitude, and allows me to shop for good expedition food, since any food that still looks good then will be good at altitude.”
