COMPANY NEWS: OGIO Training Gear Built for Maximum Performance

2004-05-11

BLUFFDALE, Utah (May 11, 2004) - DVDs. HDTV. TiVO.  As these and other seemingly harmless acronyms consume our time, so too is the population consuming more calories from semi-prone positions.

Then there is OGIO. Not an acronym. And anything but sedentary.  OGIO is momentum, personified.  It is the fastest-moving brand to strike at motocross enthusiasts, snowboarding fanatics, and skateboarding purists alike.  And now its formidable energy is surging through the latest in training gear as well.

The R&D-driven bag manufacturer, credited with infusing fierce technology into a once-overlooked category, has introduced its 2004 collection of bags designed to move exercise enthusiasts.  OGIO's 2004 Training collection is constructed from durable, breathable materials and is riddled with intelligent design features.  The line, which is backed with a lifetime guarantee, includes:


ALL TERRAIN DUFFEL

As one of OGIO's most popular duffel bags, the All Terrain combines intelligent storage for shoes in a separate, ventilated compartment; side storage, a fleece-lined, drop-in audio pocket with headphone exit port; and reinforced base.  The 3000 cu. in. All Terrain is available in color combinations including Burgundy/Black, Dijon/Black and Black/Black.  (3000 cu. in. / $69.99 MSRP)


55 LITER DUFFEL

The 55-Liter features a reinforced base, a wide-mouth U-shaped opening, and two side pockets, while maximizing storage courtesy an additional pocket in its overlapping sleeve top.  Available in Black, Royal/Black, Redline/Black and Juice/Black color blocking, this duffel is capped off with an adjustable padded shoulder strap, and OGIO's patented locking handle. (3400 cu. in. / $59.99 MSRP)


35 LITER DUFFEL

With its main, U-shaped compartment specifically sized to carry one workout's worth of gear and shoes, the 35 Liter also includes two side-zipper pockets and a top-flap sleeve pocket.  This durable bag is constructed with 420 dobby nylon, and is accented with reinforced zipper stops and oversized zipper pulls.  The 35-Liter is available in Black, Royal/Black, Redline/Black and Juice/Black color combinations, and includes an adjustable padded shoulder strap and OGIO's patented locking handle.  (2100 cu. in. / $54.99 MSRP)


BIG DOME

The Big Dome is a cavernous bag meticulously crafted with a reinforced base, embedded grommets to facilitate breathability, and an exterior-access shoe compartment.  This ribbed-webbing bag – the largest in OGIO's Training collection – also includes two side zippers and a CD/MP3 player pocket complete with headphone exit port.  The Big Dome is available in Black, Royal/Black, Redline/Black, and Juice/Black styles. (3450 cu. in. / $59.99 MSRP)


HALF DOME

OGIO's Half-Dome duffel facilitates easy access to clothes and other gear through a large zipper running along the bag's length.  Though compact, this all-purpose duffel also provides dedicated storage for an MP3 player, complete with a headphone exit port.  The Half Dome is available in Black, Redline/Black, and Deep (Blue)/Black color combinations.  (1800 cu. in. / $49.99 MSRP)


SS (SUPER SPORT) LOCKER BAG

With solid framework designed to slip directly into a locker – and perform like one, too – OGIO's original, patented SS Locker Bag opens vertically to reveal surprising storage.  At the base, a vented compartment expands to accommodate shoes up to size 13, while the foldaway shelf above holds clothing, towels and other gear.  Bungee pockets inside the bag's zippered "door" further secures personal grooming supplies.  The SS Locker Bag is available in Black, Royal/Black, and Redline/Black.  (1900 cu. in. / $89.99 MSRP)
