Body Glove Adds Accessories Partner

The Outdoor Recreation Group has been tapped to produce a Body Glove-branded accessories line for a late summer launch.

The range, targeted to the outdoor, water/extreme sports markets, will include backpacks, luggage, totes and accessories. The products will debut Aug. 3 to 6 at the 2010 Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City, Utah. The line will be carried at major sporting goods stores, specialty sports retailers and online at www.bodyglove.com/store.

"We were thrilled at the opportunity to collaborate with an authentic brand like Body Glove," says Richard Pyles, general manager of the Outdoor Recreation Group's Body Glove division. "The new lines are an incredible fusion of Body Glove's signature surf-inspired style and our technology and streamlined profiles—it's a tremendous new direction for us and it's going to be a new standard in both design and delivery in this highly competitive market."
