Branwyn Performance Innerwear Debuts the Essential Racerback Bra https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/branwyn-performance-innerwear-debuts-the-essential-racerback-bra/ Tue, 16 Apr 2024 21:49:31 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=310762 Bend, OR – April 16, 2024 – Branwyn Performance Innerwear, the only ethical, sustainable, and next-to-body Performance Innerwear made by and for active women, proudly unveils the Essential Racerback Bra, engineered with a seamless Merino construction to provide unparalleled comfort and support for women on the move. After two years of research and development, Branwyn is thrilled to expand its Essential line of Merino Wool Bras with its newest innovation in Performance Innerwear.

Crafted from Branwyn’s exclusive GLDNspun knit, the Essential Racerback Bra boasts 76 percent extra fine Merino wool content, making it the market leader in high-performance, seamless Merino bras. By utilizing state-of-the-art core Merino spinning technology with 14 percent nylon and 10 percent Spandex, the Essential Racerback bra mimics a second-skin feeling and ensures optimal breathability, odor resistance, and exceptional thermoregulation. Its body-mapped contours offer enhanced support and separation to reduce chafing, while the wide-knit bottom ensures the band stays in place. Shoulder straps with backset and flatlock seams are strategically designed for comfort, accommodating hydration packs, backpacks, and kid carriers. The bra also features side sleeves that allow for padding inserts for additional coverage (not included). The underwire-free pullover style and racerback design ensure freedom of movement, eliminating common discomforts like digging and rolling. Designed for moderate-impact activities, the Essential Racerback Bra offers greater compression than Branwyn’s Essential Bralette and Essential Busty Bra. It’s perfect for those on the go, whether in the mountains, at the gym, in the yoga studio, or navigating daily life. 

“Branwyn is proud to be at the cutting edge of BPA and PFAs free women’s high-performance innerwear, says Branwyn’s President Deanne Buck. “The launch of our Essential Racerback Bra introduces an entirely new category of moderate-impact sports bras that uniquely combines Merino and next-to-skin seamless construction.

Distinguished by its blend of state-of-the-art technology and eco-conscious practices, Branwyn’s Essential Racerback Bra also harnesses the power of ZQ, Oeko-Tex 100, and RWS-certified Merino wool. This ensures premium quality and underscores the brand’s dedication to environmental responsibility.

Appalachian Gear Company Introduces AlpaLite Performance Apparel https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/appalachian-gear-company-introduces-alpalite-performance-apparel/ Mon, 15 Apr 2024 21:00:55 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=310626 Kings Mountain, NC – April 15, 2024 – Appalachian Gear Company, the brand that pioneered 100 percent alpaca fiber performance fleece for the outdoors, is proud to announce its latest innovation, a revolutionary new fabric that redefines outdoor apparel. AlpaLite blends the unparalleled benefits of natural alpaca fiber with advanced technical features to create a line of garments built to withstand the rigors of an active lifestyle.

The foundation of the AlpaLite line is 80 percent alpaca, a sustainable natural fiber proven to be stronger, softer, and warmer than merino wool. Alpaca’s natural breathability ensures comfort in various climates, while its superior moisture absorption and quick-drying properties make it
ideal for high intensity activities. By blending this powerhouse fiber with 20 percent recycled nylon, Appalachian Gear Company has created its most technically advanced layers to date, adding even greater stretch, durability, and softness to an already extraordinary material. AlpaLite apparel is highly durable, naturally antimicrobial and odor resistant, lightweight, and machine washable. As with all Appalachian Gear Company products, AlpaLite is proudly designed and built in the U.S. and provides an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic outdoor layers.

“We first had the vision for AlpaLite back in 2020, but then COVID happened and turned the global supply chain upside down,” says Appalachian Gear Company co-founder John Gage. “In 2023, we were finally able to focus on developing a technical line once again. Today, we are proud to have not only overcome the challenges posed by the pandemic, but to have expanded our collection with the first technical alpaca garments crafted with our proprietary yarn and manufacturing process. That we have been able to create this incredible fabric and these garments without outsourcing our production is just the icing on the cake.”

The initial AlpaLite line is available at appalachiangearcompany.com and includes a Hoodie and a Quarter Zip Crew with more styles to come. AlpaLite garments feature a standard, non-compression fit and are available in gender-neutral sizing from XS-XXL.

For wholesale opportunities, please contact John Murtiashaw at jmurtiashaw@appgearco.com. For more information, contact Suzanne Hermann at suzanne@darbycommunications.com.

Branwyn Performance Innerwear Certified BPA and PFAS-Free https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/branwyn-performance-innerwear-certified-bpa-and-pfas-free/ Wed, 27 Mar 2024 19:08:25 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=309351 Bend, OR – March, 27, 2024– Branwyn Performance Innerwear, the only ethical, sustainable, and next-to-body Performance Innerwear made by and for active women, proudly announces a significant milestone with an official 3rd party audit of its innerwear products as BPA and PFAS-free. This audit was conducted by Intertek, a leading third-party testing company known for its stringent protocols.

Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure, with its links to various health issues, is particularly significant for women. Studies have shown that BPA exposure can disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to reproductive problems, breast cancer, and other health complications. Recent studies from the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) have also shed light on sports bras and other athletic apparel, revealing that some wearers were exposed to elevated levels of BPA of up to 22 times the legal limit. 

The drive to eliminate per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” has also been an ongoing concern in the outdoor and active lifestyle industries. PFAS, found in many consumer goods, including clothing, has been associated with adverse health effects such as immune system disruption, thyroid disease, and certain types of cancer. By guaranteeing the absence of BPA and PFAS in its innerwear, Branwyn addresses these concerns, prioritizing both environmental stewardship and women’s health.

“At Branwyn, we are committed to providing the highest performance, natural, next-to-body innerwear available with women at the center while also leading the charge towards a more sustainable future,” says Branwyn’s President Deanne Buck. “The findings from this rigorous audit affirm our dedication to transparency and ensure that our garments are free from harmful chemicals, furthering our mission to provide women with innerwear that not only supports their active lifestyles but also protects their health and the environment.”

In addition to Branwyn’s products being certified by Intertek as BPA and PFAS-free, Branwyn also uses Merino Wool which meets the ZQ Grower Standard and has long complied with REACH and OEKO-TEX 100 standards.

Ignik Announces Expansion of Refillable Fuel, Introduces New Compact Growler Option https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/ignik-announces-expansion-of-refillable-fuel-introduces-new-compact-growler-option/ Mon, 12 Feb 2024 18:51:39 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=305526 Bainbridge Island, WA – February 12, 2024 – Ignik, a Seattle-based brand known for its innovative and solution-based outdoor heating products, proudly announces the continued growth of its first-to-market Refillable Fuel line with the new compact Gas Growler 3.8 and new colorways for the flagship Gas Growler Deluxe and Gas Growler XWith over 40 million 1-pound not-so-green, single-use propane bottles ending up in landfills each year, Ignik, the leader in refillable fuel for outdoor recreation, is committed to providing easy solutions that make an impact by offering even more refillable Gas Growler options for outdoor adventure, travel, and more.

(L-R) Gas Growler X (10 lb.), Gas Growler (5 lb.), Gas Growler 3.8 compared to 1lb. single-use propane

Ignik’s Gas Growler 3.8 is the newest Growler to redefine the outdoor experience by allowing users to cook and stay warm without the waste. Gas Growler 3.8 is highly portable, easy to pack, and makes using refillable propane easier than ever. With each refill, users get nearly four times the fuel compared to a single-use bottle and at the same price. It’s designed with high-quality construction and extra durable rubber edging and is the optimal size for all camp stoves, lanterns, and small portable heaters (hose adapter sold separately). Tanks are pre-purged, ready to fill at any commercial propane filling station, and are DOT-approved with a 12-year valve certification. Gas Growler 3.8 is perfect for car camping, rooftop camping, compact overlanding rigs, RVing, boating, and tailgating.  MSRP: $79.95

Later this spring, Ignik will introduce Gas Growler 3.8 Deluxe, which will include a 4-foot adapter hose that’s compatible with all single and double-burner camp stoves and portable heaters. It will also include Ignik’s signature protective, rugged, and easy-to-carry case. MSRP: $99.95

Gas Growler 3.8 Deluxe

“Producing sustainable outdoor heating products has always been at the core of Ignik’s mission,” says Peter Pontano, Ignik’s VP of Brand & Product. “Since we launched our flagship Gas Growler Deluxe in 2019, we’ve sold over 75,000 Gas Growlers, which has helped to keep over 700,000 single-use propane bottles from our landfills – and that’s just off of one fill.

Watershed Drybags launches New Material Innovation and Colors https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/watershed-drybags-launches-new-material-innovation-and-colors/ Thu, 21 Dec 2023 20:16:02 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=301476 Watershed Drybags, the Asheville, NC-based manufacturer of airtight, fully submersible, and waterproof drybags for all outdoor pursuits, unveiled a new material technology today that’s available on all of its recreational drybags. After two years of intensive development and an additional year of rigorous testing, Watershed is thrilled to introduce this innovative material, Kryptothane Plus, to its products. Also, for the first time in seven years, the brand is also introducing three new colors, safety orange, royal purple, and smoke green.

Kryptothane Plus represents a significant leap forward in durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal. The foundation of this cutting-edge material is an 840 denier nylon base fabric, chosen for its exceptional strength and resilience. Building upon this robust foundation, Watershed employs an advanced extrusion process on both sides, utilizing pigmented polyurethane. The result is a coating that not only boasts increased thickness but also exhibits enhanced resistance to UV rays to ensure longevity and reliability in the harshest outdoor environments. One of the standout features of Kryptothane Plus is its unique embossing process. Through the use of a specialized roller process, Watershed achieves a balanced, grippy coating that enhances the overall functionality of the material. This embossing not only contributes to improved grip but also adds a distinctive texture that sets Kryptothane Plus apart from other materials on the market.

“Founded on a mission to craft USA-made, durable, waterproof bags that protect and keep outdoor adventurers’ gear safe and dry, this material launch is a leap forward to ensure durability for all outdoor adventures,“ shared Eric Revels, CEO of Watershed. “This proprietary material recipe coupled with our new colors shows Watershed continues to innovate and keep up with athletes pushing boundaries.”
