Dream Team: Jeff Hill and Glenn Irwin
Michael Morton, MD of Zerofit, said:
"We're thrilled to have Jeff join us. He has great energy and passion and, most importantly, is a great storyteller. He's also got the experience of having tested many different baselayers on the market."
"Jeff has traveled the world on two wheels and documented his travels in a number of books that have been well received by bikers, non-bikers and the media alike. We are planning a special trip in which Jeff will play a key role and are honored to have him as our brand ambassador."
A world-class travel writer needs a world-class base layer
Geoff Hill, 68, is the author of the classic book "Way to Go: Two of the World's Great Motorcycle Journeys," which describes his adventures on a Royal Enfield from Belfast to Delhi and down America's Route 66. The book was published in 2005 and was nominated for Travel Book of the Year.
The sequel, The Road to Gobblers Knob, was a best-seller and described an epic adventure traveling the Pan-American Highway from Chile to Alaska.
Jeff says:
"I've ridden in everything from the Baluchistan desert in 51°C to a frozen lake in Mongolia in -40°C and the Zerofit base layers are hands down the best I've ever worn."
Zerofit Baselayer, the perfect travel companion for all seasons and temperatures
In 2010 Geoff wrote Oz: around Australia on a Triumph, about his adventures around Australia, and in 2013 he wrote In Clancy's Boots, the story of Carl Stearns Clancy, who circumnavigated the globe by motorbike in 1912-1913.
As well as writing, Geoff was a celebrated volleyball player, captaining Northern Ireland at the 1981 Commonwealth Championship and capping the team 122 times - a record that still stands today. He is honoured as one of the brand's 'Sporting Champions' alongside ZeroFit shareholder Brian O'Driscoll and other former Irish and British & Irish Lions captains.
