The
Achiever
The Achiever best represents the traditional outdoor consumer. They participate in a number of different activities including team sports, running, camping, climbing, and mountain biking, among others. Members of this segment are driven to participate in outdoor activities by a variety of motivations including performance and competition. Those that don’t participate at a professional level aspire to do so, and nothing stands in the way of getting outdoors for members of this segment.
