Opedix Named Official Supplier to National Ski Patrol

S1 Ski Tight Chosen For Knee Support System™

Vail, CO (October 3, 2008) – Opedix Wellness Gear is pleased to announce its new status as Official Supplier to the National Ski Patrol beginning Winter 2008-9. In selecting the Opedix S1 Knee Support System™ ski tight, the NSP has recognized the potential benefits of Opedix and is helping promote the S1 to all its 27,000 members.

Tested at the world renowned Steadman Hawkins Sports Medicine Foundation and Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic, Opedix is able to offer products proven by scientific studies to improve joint alignment in the knees and shoulders, increasing stability and strength, “unloading” the joints and reducing wear and tear. An established strategy for reducing pain, unloading the joints can also help mitigate other progressive joint problems, including osteoarthritis.

“The NSP first learned of Opedix at the winter 2008 snow industry trade shows,” said Tim White, National Ski Patrol Executive Director. “Immediately it seemed like a great product for our membership—patrollers who spend long hours on the hill each week. Opedix’s cutting-edge technology will benefit patrollers, who depend on their knees for their livelihood.” White continued, “The National Ski Patrol is proud to form a relationship with Opedix and we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

Opedix S1 tights can “unload” knees, making the knee work more efficiently, and limiting the amount of wear and tear done by each step. Effectively, they reduce the load of impact pressure your knee joint has to absorb—important for anyone who uses their knees.

“We’re very excited to start this partnership with the NSP,” said Kim Gustafson, founder of Opedix. “Patrollers test their bodies and their gear to the limit. The NSP personifies our target end-user, and Opedix wants them, and all skiers, to be able to increase their longevity on the slopes as well as their enjoyment. The proven technology built into the Opedix Knee Support System will help anyone ski longer and with less wear and tear.”

The Opedix Knee Support System is available in men’s and women’s S1 and S1 Pro ski, snowboard and running/walking specific styles. The R1 model is also available in year-round and midweight fabrics for comfort in any climate.
