Hexoskin officially launches in Australia and New Zealand

Hexoskin continues its worldwide expansion with the launch of Hexoskin Oceania this January 2015. There is no better time to announce this as it is a special month in Australia; sports fans rejoice and welcome some of the worlds largest cycling, tennis, soccer and cricket stars taking part in major events all across the county.  

Along with former Olympic cyclist, Tour De France Green Jersey winner and official Australian Hexoskin ambassador, Baden Cooke, the Hexoskin Oceania team will be at the Tour Down Under, giving cycling enthusiasts the inside scoop on this ground breaking new product that is making ripples amongst the cycling elite.

"Launching Hexoskin in Australia allows us to offer localized knowledge and support, as well as quicker delivery and responses to our customers” said Lawrence Furlan, Hexoskin Oceania CEO. “For example, anybody who buys a Hexoskin this week will go into the running to win an all expenses paid ride with Baden Cooke in Melbourne."

 

Hexoskin Oceania aims to revolutionize sports science in Australia and already has conversations with several Australia Football League (AFL) clubs, as well as other major sporting codes in Australia, which will be announced later this year.
