HPL #759
HPL Series
LAB TEST:
Nathan's Human Propulsion Laboratories (HPL) conduct brutal product experiments with the help of dozens of top-level athletes. These HPL Experiments may be shooting for a world record or a new personal record - or perhaps a less tangible goal, like putting on an ultra or introducing ten road runners to the trails. Like all experiments, their progress toward achieving these goals with the help of Nathan products is tracked, studied, and reported. The Nathan HPL Series includes the products inspired by and named for their respective athletes.
Bryce Thatcher
Encircling southern Utah's famed "Island
in the Sky" area is the bone-jarring 103-mile White Rim Trail. For years, Nathan's
own chief designer, Bryce Thatcher, has been trying to break
the eight-hour barrier for a self-supported ride around the White
Rim Trail. 7 hours, 59 minutes. 7:59. This pak, the HPL #759, is his
solution to the challenge. He's confident it will help him shave
another 20 minutes off his personal best - and it may help you
to achieve yours.
