Words by: Jim Sanco, BlackStrap Brand Manager
New for the 2015/16:
– The BlackStrap Kids Line of Facegear: The Kids line falls under each of our pillars and is manufactured with the exact same attention to Quality, Technology and Functional Comfort as our adult line. We utilize the exact same design, cut & fabrics for our kids line as we utilize for the adults along with an extended color pallet that speaks to the 2-6 year olds (dump trucks, Flowers, pixie dust etc.) and conscious price points.
– The BlackStrap Expedition Hood: Each and every year we take in massive amounts of feedback, both positive & constructive, from our retailers & consumers. This year we had an overwhelming amount of demand for a mask at the Warmest end of the spectrum. Keeping our core pillars of operation in mind, we worked for the last few months to develop a mask that is not only superior in its isolative capabilities, but fit into our line with a competitive price point, colorways and specific application(s) that stand alone. With all of these things in mind we are happy to introduce the Expedition Hood. The Expedition Hood is constructed with a dual layer of our patented fabric all over (Head, Neck and is made up solely of our patented fabric that rates very high for warmth, but keeps the price point mindful ($34.99 retail) by not using merino.
