ZEAL Optics is planting a forest The company has partnered with historic non-profit conservationist group American Forests to plant 5480 trees ndash a number derived from the elevation of ZEALrsquos headquarters in Boulder CO -- across the US this year With the newly founded corporate partnership being called Project 5480 ZEAL will promote the reforestation of outdoor areas as a part of their ldquoGroundedrdquo initiative

ldquoProject 5480 is a by-product of the ZEAL Grounded initiatives We want to raise awareness of the beetlekill issue that is destroying our forest and backyard in Colorado We will plant 5480 trees annually as our commitment to reforestation and taking small but deep-rooted steps toward doing our partrdquo said John Sanchez President of ZEAL ldquoWersquore very proud of our standard of practice and the entire strategy is to build innovation at the raw material level upwards The commit-ment to sustainability and fair practices is built into the roots of ZEAL in an initiative we call Grounded We believe in doing our part so that the images of the forests we put in our ads catalogs and marketing materials are around for generations to come Someday I want to walk our customers friends and my family through these forests that we helped to growrdquo

Founded in 1875 American Forests is the countryrsquos oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the US In the last two decades they have planted more than 44 million trees The group has served as a catalyst for many of the most important milestones in the conser-vation movement including the founding of the US Forest Service the national forest and national park systems and literally thousands of forest ecosystem restoration projects and public education efforts ldquoOur ZEAL consumers employees retail partners athletes and sales reps will all be a physical part of the reforestation effort because we want to be a hands on partnerrdquo said Sanchez

ldquoTheir efforts to build awareness among customers of the need to protect our nationsrsquo forests and to help restore forests through tree

planting are a critically important contribution to achieving an eco-logically sustainable futurerdquo said Lea Sloan VP of communications American Forests ldquoTogether we can ensure that future generations have healthy beautiful forests to enjoyrdquo

ZEAL Optics has the only known sunglass line with all frames built from plant-based materials Z-Resin is a plant-based resin made from castor bean oil instead of crude oil creating a more eco-friendly prod-uct without sacrificing quality or performance ZEAL also recently introduced the first plant-based lens e-llume as an addition to their eco-construction and initiatives

As a part of the companyrsquos global Grounded initiative Z-resin is just one step ZEAL took toward sustainability According to the company every effort has been made to reduce waste in production and every-day operations and to encourage consumers to do the same Incentiv-izing customers to replace broken parts instead of throwing the entire pair away through low-cost repair and replacement parts ZEAL mod-erates waste and encourages material conservation They also produce as much of their printed materials as possible on Forest Stewardship Council certified paper At their headquarters in Boulder employees bike to work and are proud to have an office constructed utilizing bee-tle kill wood sourcing resources from the surrounding community The boutique brand is also known in the goggle market for the HD Camera Goggle and the original GPS goggle

ldquoWhat we want is to build sunglasses and ski goggles that enhance outdoor experiencesrdquo concluded Sanchez ldquoThat cant happen if we dont do our part to rebuild the playing field where these experiences take place I use a tree as an illustration for our brand As we grow new branches form and our size above ground represents the company mar-ket growth but what people cant see is that our roots are growing at the same length Our social and ecological responsibilities initiatives will keep us deep rooted humble and lsquogroundedrsquo This is what will make us strong and keep us in the market as a very unique brand of opticsrdquo

PULSE OF THE OUTDOOR CONSUMER STUDY

2013

A Market Insight Study from The SportsOneSource Group

For more information or to reserve your copy of the Pulse Of The Outdoor Consumer study contact Neil Schwartz 5616923722 or email SOSResearchSportsOneSourcecom

SOS Research takes an in-depth look at the key shopping behaviors influences and motivators for Americarsquos active outdoor consumer



HEAD START 2014 FOOTbALL EqUIPMENTThe protective category in football has seen a noticeable shift upwards in average selling prices over the past decade as awareness regarding concussions and serious head inju-ries has become an emphasis in the sport Despite shrink-ing athletic budgets and a sluggish economy tightening spending of disposable income for families business is still strong for sporting goods in general and football protec-tive equipment specifically Quite simply players and their parents are spending more to get the best protection to safeguard against serious injuries This means big business and enticing profit margins for retailers and team dealers It also provides an opportunity for sellers to provide quality customer service that makes a difference in the safety and health of the football players coming to them for help pick-ing out equipment

ldquoOne of the key trends wersquove seen from a retail stand-point is that consumers ndash whether itrsquos parents or players ndash are doing their research and are willing to spend more on protective equipmentrdquo stated Michael Oller VP consumer products at Riddell Inc ldquoTheyrsquore asking questions theyrsquore more educated they want to know what features are out there that they could incorporate or purchase within their helmet So thatrsquos a good thing for us as a manufacturer An educated consumer is really what wersquore looking for as we move forward We want to connect that consumer with our innovations as we come out with helmets We saw that this year more than in years pastrdquo

Helmets and shoulder pads are the two most vital equip-ment pieces for football players and they also represent the highest price tags and margins for sellers The balance between finding the right amount of protection with the best fit performance and level of comfort is the challenge that all equipment manufacturers strive to find with their products Next year will be another step forward as leading brands including Riddell Schutt and Xenith offer the safest and best-performing helmets shoulder pads and protec-tive accessories to date

ldquoAs far as what players are looking for theyrsquore more in tune with protectionrdquo said Moller ldquoThey want those fea-tures from a protective standpoint but they also want comfort and fit With rule changes in football they want to make sure that their helmets are staying on and they want

to feel comfortable in those helmets We [at Riddell] are fortunate enough to have products that appeal to those players and wersquove seen the success around thatrdquo

According to Moller Riddellrsquos two most successful helmets are the Riddell 360 and the Riddell Speed ldquoBoth hel-mets are the highest level of protection that we offerrdquo he stated ldquoThe player is getting a great protective helmet In

Football Basketball and Soccer players will have the most advanced equipment at their disposal in 2014 SGB previews key protective gear field equipment balls and accessories that will be available at retail next year

EqUIPPED FOR

SUCCESSBy Fernando j Delgado

According to Moller Riddell will have five different youth hel-met models for 2014 ranging in price from $100 up to $300 at retail with each model designed specifically for different levels of play ldquoWhether the player is a young beginner or an experi-

addition both of those helmets have overliners which consist of a material that lines the liners of the helmet for comfort and fit The 360 also has an additional inflation point at the back that locks in the playerrsquos head a little better with the enhanced occipital lock which is that little knob on the back of the playerrsquos head It really cra-dles the back of the head and stabilizes the helmet keeping the helmet secure so it can do its jobrdquo The improved fit of the 360 is especially important for youth league and high school players as rule changes require players to be removed from play if their helmet falls off or becomes dislodged The 360 helps playersrsquo stay on the field as its fit and stability ensures that their hel-mets donrsquot fall off during play

enced junior high player we have a lot of different models that fit the particular needs of that play-errdquo he shared

At Schutt technology is melded with striking colors and helmet designs Schuttrsquos Vengeance DCT Elite Helmet set to retail at $255 is its newest helmet The DCT which stands for Dual Com-pression Technology combines Schuttrsquos 5th generation of TPU Cushioning The TPU contains durometers that are specifically designed to absorb high- and low-velocity impacts highlight-ing just a few of the many techno-logical features of the helmet

Another new helmet from Schutt is the adult AiR XP Pro one of the lightest helmets on the market and the only traditional standoff helmet left on the market for a retail price of $225 Schutt

by the Custom Power CPK and the Power SPK pads which carry catalog-listing prices of $435 and $299 respec-tively

ldquoOur shoulder pad line continues to grow

and it mirrors what wersquove done with our helmetsrdquo shared Riddellrsquos Moller ldquoWersquore creating products that fit the needs of players Our elite level shoulder pads - branded under lsquoPowerrsquo ndash are the ones you see at the NFL and college levels Wersquove taken some notes and some leads off the Power shoulder pads and brought those features down to the youth and junior varsity levels Things like flat pad construction air management materials and corrugated caps ep-aulets and arches So when you get specific to shoulder pads we have a broad strong line that has pads that are the lsquochildrenrsquo of our Power line of varsity pads That ties back to what the players are looking for ndash theyrsquore looking for protection but theyrsquore also look-ing for performance Years ago Riddell was established as a protec-tive company But over the past several years and now more than ever wersquore leaning towards performance and protection and wersquove adopted the tagline of lsquoProtect and Performrsquo The athlete is looking for both and theyrsquore looking to Riddell for bothrdquo

With their shoulder pads Riddell has emphasized flat pad con-struction that keeps the pads tighter and that also provides players with a better range of motion all without sacrificing protection ldquoOur shoulder pads have been modernized and not only do they look cool but players really enjoy wearing them because it gives them that ability to perform at a very high levelrdquo said Moller

Schuttrsquos shoulder pads for 2014 are highlighted by the AiR Maxx Flex 20 and O2 Pro The AiR Maxx Flexx 20 with a retail price of $300 features Triple Shoulder Protection combining TPU Energy Lock Technology with D3O and a clavicle channel system This

will also feature several youth mod-els including the Recruit Hybrid $90 XP Hybrid $90 Vengeance DCT Hybrid + $115 and Youth AiR XP Pro $190 among others

ldquoEveryone is always looking for lighter and strongerrdquo said Glenn Beckmann director of marketing communications for Schutt Sports

ldquoWersquore always looking into new poly-mers and new materials that we can make helmets and faceguards from We just introduced a newly engi-neered polymer padding for some of our youth helmets called D3O Ev-eryonersquos looking for that balance be-tween lightweight and the best pro-tectionrdquo

Beckmann also shared some interesting observations regarding other notable trends in the protective equipment category ldquoOne of the negative trends that we see are third-party products that are being promoted to be put on or in helmetsrdquo he said ldquoI canrsquot tell you how many times a week I get an email from a company say-ing lsquoWe have the solution to the concussion problem Put pad-ding on the outside of the helmetrsquo Itrsquos been tried in the past and itrsquos failed Therersquos been no scientific research or scientifically valid data that says that those items actually enhance the performance of the helmet With the potential risks involved with altering our helmetsrsquo configuration we strongly recommend against using it But there are still a lot of companies trying to take advantage of the situation involving head injuries and concussions We donrsquot want to discourage innovation but what we want these third party product developers to do is make sure that they are telling their customers all of the potential consequences Alteration to the configuration of a helmet may void the warranty on the helmet and can void the NOCSAE certification for example That would make the helmet illegal to use in the vast major-ity of organized footballrdquo

Despite some of the drawbacks to companies trying to take shortcuts to solve the concussion issue technology remains a force for progress that is helping football become safer ldquoOne trend thatrsquos auxiliary to equipment is the collection of data surrounding head impactsrdquo commented Beckmann ldquoWhere the impact is occurring how hard the impact is how many impacts is a player at a particular age level experiencing during the course of a game a week of practice or a season I think that is a very beneficial trend because ultimately that data will help everyone involved figure out how to design better helmets and how to approach diagnosing and recognizing head injuries a little bit betterrdquo

Shoulder pads are another essential protective category for foot-ball players that require manufacturers to find the perfect balance between the best protection and the lightest most comfortable per-formance capabilities

Riddellrsquos shoulder pads for 2014 will be available in three distinct levels Varsity JV and Youth Varsity level shoulder pads are led

state-of-the-art pad will be available in four arch styles -Skill QBWR All Purpose and OLDL ndash as well as in several custom colors and configurations The O2 Pro priced at $240 is a new body style and lighter than the AiR Maxx Flex 20 The O2 Pro is the most breath-able shoulder pad in Schuttrsquos line as a result of O2 Windows and a perforated body cushion

Several protective accessories such as padded apparel braces sleeves and mouthguards will highlight 2014 lines from various leading brands including Wilson Under Armour Adidas Schutt and Riddell and from companies more rooted in sports medicine and protective performance gear such as Shock Doctor EvoShield Pro-Tec and Cramer

ldquoAccessories are a big part of our retail businessrdquo said Riddellrsquos Moller ldquoChin straps are especially important as they are tied directly with the helmet In 2013 we rolled out a new chin strap called the TCP (True Curve Protection) ldquoItrsquos really a hybrid of a soft cup chin strap and a hard cup chin strap It has the fit of a soft cup with the shell protection of a hard cup This was also in response to the helmet rule changes as players wanted the fit of a soft cup to keep the helmet secure We look at it as an opportunity to create a new chin strap different than anything else on the market If the helmet stays on the head the player stays in the game and the player stays protected The TCP Chin Strap is allowing us to excel in that areardquo

Moller also anticipates strong programs and sell-through of Rid-dellrsquos padded apparel ldquoRiddellrsquos launch of padded apparel really resonated with the consumer Wersquove seen the brand grow from just helmets and shoulder pads and now we have accessories and ap-parel Wersquore expanding our reach at retail and thatrsquos really exciting for us

HOOPING IT UP 2014 bASkETbALL EqUIPMENTWhen it comes to protective equipment basketball players playing on the hardwood are the polar opposite of football players on the gridiron Whereas football players are armed to the teeth with protective gear basketball play-ers wear a minimal amount of gear less over and under their uniforms

Chris Barry a sales associate at The Sports Authority in Nottingham MD interacts with athletes on the sales floor year-round and shared his obser-vations ldquoThe primary basketball equipment that people come in for aside from shoes are knee braces and ballsrdquo said Barry ldquoWe do have some sleeves most of the sleeves that we have are from McDavid and they have padding on the elbows Those are actually huge sellersrdquo

The sleeve category has taken off in recent years for basketball players rep-resenting a trend started by NBA players ldquoI think they sell well because most of the kids playing basketball are going for what looks goodrdquo stated Barry ldquoTheyrsquore not going for protection with sleeves to be honest They want what looks good and what is in What really helps sleeves especially those from McDavid is that they give players support in their arms and they help blood flow especially with compression And if they do fall on the court the pad-ding helps prevent bruises and the player wonrsquot be hurt as badlyrdquo

McDavidrsquos newest sleeve for 2014 is the 6500 Hex Shooter Arm Sleeve Set to retail at $20 and available in four colors the Hex Shooter utilizes 9mm Hex Technology posi-tioned at the elbow and arm compression that maintains muscle warmth and prevents abra-sions and scratches The machine washable and dryable sleeve includes hDc Moisture Management Technology to keep basketball players cool and dry

Shock Doctorrsquos leading sleeve will be the Velocity Shockskin Basketball Arm Sleeve Retailing at $30 the Velocity Shockskin sleeve is lightweight and breathable Technological

features include Pure-Vent direct ventilation that amplifies airflow throughout padded areas in ad-dition to variable stretch materials that allow for unrestricted arm and elbow movement

ldquoHonestly I think that kids seeing NBA players wearing sleeves is the biggest reason for sleeves sell-ing wellrdquo continued Barry ldquoThe bottom line is that they look good Players might say that sleeves help them out shooting the ball and compression sleeves do help with blood flow but college and NBA play-ers who wear sleeves today influence a majority of kids Theyrsquore trying to look goodrdquo

Mouthguards are a popular protective accessory with basketball players who are always cognizant of protecting themselves against inadvertent flail-ing elbows ldquoShock Doctor with the Nano Double Mouthguard usually sells well for us and we expect them to lead the way in 2014rdquo observed Barry

Shock Doctorrsquos basketball mouthguards for 2014 are highlighted by the Basketball STC Mouthguard in addition to the Nano Double Mouthguard called out by The Sports Authorityrsquos Barry The Basketball STC retails for $20 and is fully equipped with a gel-fit liner for a snug comfortable mold to an athletersquos teeth The Nano Double priced at $25 is a dual-arch low profile mouthguard designed to amplify upper and lower jaw protection It is also equipped with Shock Doctorrsquos Tri-Bite and MORA technology for a com-fortable correctly positioned bite

Pro-Tec will be helping basketball play-ers protect their legs and feet with two new products among several other protective items offered by the Redmond WA-based sports medicine manufacturer Pro-Tecrsquos Gel Force Knee Support is a great sports

medicine piece for basketball players ndash as well as athletes in any

other sport - recovering from knee injuries or looking for extra support and protec-tion The Gel Force Knee Support retails for $30 Medical applications for the support include Patello-Femoral pain syndrome Patellar tracking chondromalacia and mi-nor meniscus and ligament tears The com-panyrsquos Gel Force Ankle Support is essential for players suffering from ankle sprains basketballrsquos most widespread injury ldquoThe Gel Force Ankle Support is made with breathable material fits like a sock and provides compression and medial and lat-eral supportrdquo said Jennie Habersetzer mar-keting and sales at Pro-Tec Athletics ldquoItrsquos common for basketball players to wear and it fits nicely in a basketball shoerdquo Pro-Tec items can be found at specialty running and

sporting goods storesCramer Productsrsquo Per-

formance Shorts are ideal for basketball players to wear under their uni-form or practice shorts to improve their game Retailing at $60 the shorts consist of high stretch panels that pro-vide compression and support to core muscle groups during intense

activity In addition abdominal support panels also provide compression to core muscle groups while the seamless side panel construction offers comfort

When it comes to basketballs a few nota-ble models are ex-pected to be hot for 2014 ldquoThere are a couple basketballs that we expect to sell well in 2014rdquo said Barry ldquoThe Spalding TF1000 Classic Adult Bas-ketball comes to mind first Irsquove probably had three or four high school coaches come in and buy six or seven balls It has a mi-crofiber composite so the leatherrsquos going to be better the ball is longer lasting and the bladder is better because it holds more air The bounce is supposed to be great with that particular ballrdquo

Aside from Spalding Wilson Adidas and Nike Barry singled out Under Armour as a brand rapidly gaining market share and popularity in the basketball category ldquoUnder Armour is going to be one of the biggest companies soon especially in basketball and football Everything that theyrsquore doing now is tremendousrdquo he explained ldquoNikersquos going to outpace Under Armour in shoes but when it comes to apparel balls and some equipment Under Armour is going to be up thererdquo The Under Armour 495 Indoor Outdoor Basketball which retails for $30 and can be found at all major big box retailers is expected to be a big seller in 2014 Barry added that Under Armourrsquos rapid rise can be attributed to effective marketing persistent brand-building and desirable products that resonate with consumers

According to Barry price points for basketballs have stayed fairly consistent in the mid- and mid-to-upper range over the past few years ldquoThe Spalding TF1000 is going to be about $70 But then you also the Spalding NeverFlat Ball which is also a great ball and stays inflated about 10 times longer than any other ball retailing for $55rdquo he said ldquoI would say any ball from around $40 to about $80 would be considered the mid-to-upper end price

point range Thatrsquos compared to the official NBA leather basketball which sells for $150 That ball would be the high endrdquo

In the field equipment category players can turn to training hoops to improve their shooting Goalrilla a leader in sports training equipment will have the CV 60 Basketball System available at Dickrsquos Sporting Goods and specialty retailers nationwide With a retail price of about $1400 the CV 60 is capable of handling over 1000 pounds of vertical torque to the rim It is constructed with a one-piece steel pole for strength as well as an all-steel precise height adjustment from 7 frac12 feet to 10 feet

JUST FOR kICkS 2013 SOCCER EqUIPMENTSoccer players will also benefit from in-creasingly advanced equipment whether in the form of shin guards balls soccer goals or protective accessories

Unlike hardgoods in other sports shin guards remain a more functional necessity that depends less on technological features than other higher-priced protective pieces ldquoDepending on the playerrsquos age and what level theyrsquore playing in shin guards can help tremendouslyrdquo shared The Sports Author-ityrsquos Barry ldquoIf yoursquore from age 15 to about 20 playing club ball or high school yoursquore not going to need anything too protective unless you injured your ankle or you really want to protect yourself Most of the time soccer players just put on something simple that covers a little of the shin and they run Kids in Europe use cardboard and put that on their shins and go runningrdquo

Barry observed that one shin guard in particular that a lot of people have been buying for kids ages 10 and below is the Nike Youth Charge Shin Guards which retails for about $15 ldquoMost people are loyal to brands whether they like Nike or they like Adidasrdquo he stated ldquoBut if somebody appreciates the sport as much as the avid players do they will go for whatrsquos best for them Irsquom a serious player and I used to love Adidas shoes But since Irsquove gotten older Irsquove switched over to Nike and I also switched to Umbro cleats when I was 14 Every brand fits a little differently Nike cleats and shin guards fit

more narrowly on the foot and leg where compared to Adidas which have a more natural fit Adidas shin guards will provide more coverage than Nike shin guards and they will cover a majority of the leg instead of just the shinrdquo

Oftentimes shin guard purchases are made with affordability in mind especially for younger players Itrsquos not until players get older and more serious that shin guard purchases and preferences may get more specialized but even then most soccer players see shin guards as a basic necessity and not an item that they expect perfor-mance or technologically advanced protec-tion from ldquoIrsquom also a coach and with most of the kids that I know their parents will buy them the cheapest shin guards and the cheapest cleats and they just go out and playrdquo said Barry ldquoEven players who play club and travel soccer theyrsquore usually going for something that covers most of the shin that they can fit easily under their socks and get cleared by the referees so that they can playrdquo

The mens Adidas Nitrocharge Pro Shin Guards with a retail price of $20 should be a big seller for next year Designed with a light and flex-ible shield these shin guards feature an easy slip-in construction and com-pression fabric that helps support blood flow A compression sleeve supports blood flow back to the body center while soft synthetic lining makes these guards comfortable
