Leading sports headwear brand Headsweats has become an official headwear partner for triathlon in Australia.
Confirmed in mid-January, the new partnership with Triathlon Australia and the State and Territory Associations will provide headwear for technical officials, coaches, athletes and staff, ensuring comfort and sun protection while they are out in the field.
Age group athletes who are selected to represent Australia at World Championship campaigns will be able to purchase specially designed headwear at ‘team’ rates. In addition to this, a wider benefit of 20% discount on Headsweats products will be available to all Triathlon Australia members through the brand’s Australian distributor, Everest Sports.
Headsweats was founded in 1998 by keen cyclist Alan Romick who has expanded the brand to over 17 different products available in over 140 different colours and styles.
Triathlon Australia CEO, Anne Gripper said “I am really pleased to be able to provide our members and key stakeholder groups this fantastic product. Our technical officials are the unsung heroes of our sport, often spending hours out in the sun doing their job. To be able to provide them with good quality Headsweats product will hopefully make their job that little bit easier.”
She continued, “We always look for partners who care about the sport and our members, so we are pleased that this partnership will extend to offer discounted prices to our membership base. We look forward to working with Headsweats to deliver more great initiatives over the coming years.”
Today the Headsweats line includes washable, airlight and wicking hats that have spread influence across the triathlon, rowing and adventure racing worlds. The success and a spirit of innovation at Headsweats, along with a strong focus on customer service, have helped to establish Headsweats as a front runner and first choice for many triathletes around the world.
Everest Sports/Headsweats Australia National Sales Manager, Marthijs Heuperman said “Triathlon is a sport that evokes passion and possibility. In the forming of this relationship with Triathlon Australia we strive to bring both these elements to the organization and their members through both the Headweats products and our service in delivery.
“We are excited to be able to bring Headsweats and Triathlon Australia together in such a positive partnership for both its members and key stakeholder groups.”
