BOULDER, CO (June 18, 2019) – Headsweats, the 20-year leader in high performance headwear and apparel, has selected Backbone Media as its PR agency of record. To start, Backbone will support the launch of the Headsweats REPREVE line, consisting of hats and apparel made from recycled plastic bottles.
“Our new REPREVE line is our most exciting product launch in 20 years,” said Mike McQueeny, President and CEO of Headsweats. “REPREVE allows us to reduce our environmental impact and actually improves the performance characteristics of the fabrics in our products. Backbone Media’s proven experience with endurance and active lifestyle brands makes them an ideal partner to tell our brand story and promote our best products yet.”
With headquarters in Boulder and in business since 1998 by cyclist Alan Romick with a single cotton cycling cap style, Headsweats now offers hundreds of high-quality products ranging from truckers and visors to headbands and beanies and winter accessories. Headsweats also offers a complete line of customizable technical headwear and apparel to optimize athletic performance.
Unifi, the trusted sustainable global solutions provider behind REPREVE fiber, has recycled over 16 billion plastic bottles to date, which are then cleaned, broken down, and processed by their state-of-the-art extrusion and texturing process. The end result is moisture-wicking, quick-drying, temperature-regulating, water-repelling, odor-controlling, comfortable and lightweight REPREVE fabric.
Headsweats’ new collection of REPREVE cycling caps and performance shirts includes hats, headbands, skull caps and technical t-shirts.
