Apparel specialist Headsweats has partnered with Team Every Man Jack, an elite male triathlete team, for the 2014 tri season. As a sponsor of the team, Headsweats, a leader in performance headwear, will supply the team with its Supervisors, Trucker Hats and Beanies for team outings at Ironman 70.3 St George, Utah, the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon in San Francisco and the Ironman World Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.
“Team Every Man Jack is an impressive group of athletes committed to being in the top of their field,” said Headsweats President Mike McQueeney. “We’re proud to partner with this team and look forward to watching them this year.”
Every Man Jack is a high-quality men’s grooming product company started by Ritch Viola in 2007. A former All-American swimmer, Viola developed Team Every Man Jack in 2011 as a way to support male triathletes. The team started in the Bay Area of California but has now expanded nationwide across the US to include 54 triathletes.
Thirty-four of the team members hold the ‘All American’ title, meaning they are in in the top 10% of competitors in their age group. Two team members reached the top spot in their age group in 2013: Steve Mantell in the 20-24 category and Ritch Viola in the 40-44 category.
Every Man Jack, as title sponsor of the team, offers ‘affordable, high-quality men’s grooming products’. The line includes body bars and body wash, shaving cream and face lotion, as well as shampoos, styling gel and pomade.
Headsweats has been supporting triathletes for over 15 years; beginning with one product, The Cotton Classic originally only available in just four colours. Over the years, Headsweats products quietly became go-to headwear for a number of athletes around the world.
Today the Headsweats line includes ‘ultra-light, supremely wicking performance headwear’ for the triathlon, cycling, running and endurance markets. A spirit of innovation and well-developed partnerships, along with a focus on customer service, has established Headsweats as a leading headwear operator for more than a decade.
With a dedication and commitment to ‘cutting-edge materials, innovative designs and the most comfortable, best fitting headwear in the industry, the Headsweats team is constantly looking towards the future of performance headwear.’
