Caleb Bottcher Prepares for the Whaka100
Caleb Bottcher is no slouch at marathon races, particularly the Whaka100. With a few top five finishes and even a podium next to his name, he's setting out for this year's event with his eyes on the top step. With several Sweet Protection NZ staff also in the event, we were keen to pick his brains for some last minute tips on what it takes to do well at this iconic event.
Meet Mikayla Smyth - Slalom Ski Racer
Meet Mikayla - a talented young Ski Racer who has been racing from the age of 8 and wearing Sweet Protection from 11 years old, making her the perfect ambassador! Today she’s one of NZ’s top ski racers and is committed to proving herself on the world stage.

Caleb's European World Cup Season
While we bundled up to survive the Kiwi winter, Caleb headed to warmer pastures to race the U21 World Cup XC season in Europe. It's been a trip of highs and lows, but plenty of learnings and rad experiences. We had a quick catch-up to hear about it so far.
