  • Borah Teamwear Launches Individual-Custom Ski Suit Platform

     

    Nordic_IC_LaunchAugust 28, 2014. Coon Valley, WI. It’s time to say goodbye to order minimums for custom ski racing suits. Borah Teamwear is now offering their newest design platform, Individual-Custom, in hopes to provide high-quality custom ski suits to everyone, even those without a specific team affiliation.

    The platform allows users to pick unique ski suit designs, change up to three colors, select a thread color and order just one custom ski suit right there on the spot. Best yet, Individual-Custom suits are precision-crafted and made-to-order in just five business days, shipping directly from the company’s headquarters in Wisconsin.  Only Borah’s ever-popular Pro XC Suit is available for Individual-Custom, with the Women’s Pro XC Suit model to debut in early-September.

    “Made in the USA is the only way we’re able to offer such a service,” said Raven Stevenson, Borah’s Production Manager. “We have 100 percent control from the website to the shipping dock, as we need to ensure not a second is lost. When you’re attempting to manufacture a quality customized product, in a quick and efficient way, control of all variables is the name of the game,” added Stevenson.

    Why such a big deal? Historically, most custom apparel companies, including Borah, have required a minimum order quantity to even start a custom design. These minimums ranged anywhere from 5 to 15 units per style. Worse yet, customers would have to wait as long as 3-4 weeks once their design was approved for production and delivery!

    “For so many years we’ve had to turn customers away that couldn’t meet our minimums, said Ben Wizner,” Borah’s Marketing Director. “There had to be a solution, and one we could use to enhance our product offering at the same time. “Individual-Custom is the perfect mix of popular products with a touch of truly custom flair,” added Wizner.

    In addition to Nordic, Borah is launching the Individual-Custom platform across all sport categories they serve, including cycling, running, triathlon, alpine ski, and corporate wear. Further expansion within the platform will include additional product styles to choose from in each sport category.

    Mt. Borah - Madshus suit

    Coon Valley, WI –  As the season fast approaches, the buzz at Mt. Borah is all about Nordic.  New for this season, Mt. Borah released an entirely new line of top-tier custom xc apparel named OTW, or Out to Win.  Distinctive to this line is Mt. Borah’s revolutionary one-piece Speed Concept XC Suit. The one-piece suit, a garment relatively new to the North American market, utilizes body form technology, Mt. Borah’s exclusive lazercut seamless edging and is offered in both full and semi-custom design options.

    Collaborating with a group of elite US Skiers, including SSCV Team Homegrown athletes Sylvan Ellefson, Tad Elliot, Ryan Scott and Noah Hoffman, the athletes provided incredible insight to develop and refine the suit’s ultra-unique fabric selection and patterning.

    “We had the pleasure of working with the product development team at Mt. Borah to create this one-piece suit.  Their refreshing desire to be leaders in race suit innovation was quite the treat for us,” said Sylvan Ellefson.  “Over the spring months we tested a variety of different suit fabrics, sizes, alternate compression platforms and overall fit.  Going into such an important season, our team desired to find a suit with no limitations in performance, and we believe the suit we’ve achieved will be the most comfortably-dynamic race suit Mt. Borah has ever created,” added Ellefson.

    The entire OTW collection is available and can be viewed at mtborah.com.  For ordering, contact John Dyste, National Sales Manager – Winter Sports at johnd@mtborahllc.com or call 612-743-7477.
