Celliant Announces Partnership With Dick's Sporting Goods

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Celliant, the leading innovative, responsive textile technology for apparel, is proud to announce its recent partnership with sports and fitness specialty retailer, Dick's Sporting Goods. Together they have launched a new line of KOPPEN men's and women's baselayers, which features Celliant technology and is available exclusively at Dick's Sporting Goods.

Comprised of a unique blend of optically responsive materials embedded into the fibers' cores, Celliant technology harnesses the body's energy and re-emits it into the muscle tissue in the form of usable energy and far infrared light. Effects range from increased oxygen levels in the tissue, to balanced temperature, quicker recovery and healing, and heightened strength and athletic performance.

"We're thrilled to work with Dick's Sporting Goods on the launch of KOPPEN baselayers," says Seth Casden, CEO of Celliant. "This venture allows us to bring our technology to a new demographic of consumers, through a brand they already trust and rely on for quality and comfort."

Their partnership with Dick's Sporting Goods is a natural fit, considering the retailer's commitment to continuously improve the quality of their products and to offer the best sporting and outdoor goods available.

Dick's Sporting Goods' KOPPEN line of athletic-inspired outdoor apparel and gear combines innovative products and performance-driven design to protect against the elements. Baselayer tops and bottoms retail for $50 each and are available for purchase at Dick's Sporting Goods stores nationwide and online at www.dicksportinggoods.com.
