For curious readers with sharp eyes, this might not really be any news, but still here it is… The biggest change in our list of partners this year is for sure our title partnership with Haglöfs Scandinavia. A big change that we are so happy about. We have had the opportunity to try their clothing and hardware for a few months now and are very impressed this far. Yesterday Björn and Josefina spent a day in Kallhäll together with a big group of Haglöfs product developers and Haglöfs friends Marcus Hellner and Michael Lemmel to start the project of the next generation of Intense-products. Good fun!
But, we have also proud to present our new bike supplier, Specialized, and our new eye wear, X-kross by Sziols. Coming direct from a long and snowy winter in Umeå, we had our first off-road mountainbiking this season on our brand new Specialized Expert 29ers in South Africa. Obviously we could not had a better premier. Thanks to Specialized concept store who helpt us to put this together!
As you can see on the picture, we now also have some really colourful eyewear, in the same colours as the Haglöfs Intense collection. But, they are not only colourful, they are also really good. We have tested many different brands of eyewear during the years and with all of them we have experienced problems with fogging during high intensity, especially when not going in high speed (i.e. biking uphill). With the X-kross glasses, we have not had any problems with fogging, what so ever. Impressing!
