Epix Gear Expands Into Performance Tri Wear

Based in South Carolina, Epix Gear designs and produces cycling, triathlon, and running apparel. The company is developing a strong brand image as a provider of custom teamwear, and is now entering the retail apparel market. Epix is the official apparel sponsor of the Setup Events Triathlon Series, and also sponsors a team of amateur athletes in Xterra off-road triathlons.

Until now, Epix has focused on niche products which feature unique designs, such as a full sublimation-printed triathlon “muscle suit”, as well as custom-designed teamwear. Epix outfits collegiate teams such as USC Gamecock Cycling, and Texas A&M Triathlon Team (one of the largest collegiate teams in the US), as well as numerous amateur clubs.

”Fueled by the increasing popularity of triathlon, we have seen strong growth over the past 2 years and have decided to enter into the retail apparel market” says Jarek Barc- company founder. “Our goal is to bring cutting-edge design and high-end materials at a reasonable price, and I believe we have achieved that in our 2010 Performance Tri Apparel line.”  The new products feature large, moisture-wicking panels and a medical-grade anti-microbial, tri-specific chamois.

Epix products are currently available for sale online through their web site (www.epixgear.com) and will soon be available in retailers.
