Glen Plake has inspired the entire crew who runs Predator Wear, as well as thousands of others, to play hard up on the snowy mountains. Without Plake's appearances in films like Greg Stump's "The Blizzard of Ahhhs" and weekly reports from the feild on RSN as well as his constant support of contests and the up-coming new school athletes, skiing would certainly be a different sport.

Now Plake has switched to Predator Wear after years of being cold and wet in his old stuff. He now seems to be psyched and we are hugely honored that he likes our stuff so much.
