Nathan HPL #063 - 09' Redesign
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.
David Horton
In the summer of 2005, legendary ultrarunner David Horton (or as we call him HPL Experiment #063) set out from the Mexican border, headed to Canada on the Pacific Coast Trail. His goal: to set a new speed record of 63 days. We designed several custom products to help Dave achieve his dream. The HPL #063, named for Dave, is one of those products we thought others could use to achieve their own dreams.
