Briko at America's Cup with Team +39

Briko enters the international world of yachting by linking its name and products to the +39 Team, currently at Valencia for the Louis Vuitton Cup Act 10 regattas.

'We are pleased the crew of +39 has chosen Briko as a partner in the demanding challenges of the American's Cup', declared Donn Kellogg, head of marketing at Briko. 'I'm confident the team captained by Olympic champion Luca Devoti, will be successful in this important yachting event. It will also be an excellent test which will show the public and yachting enthusiasts that Briko products are also particularly suitable for sea sports'.

During the regattas, the +39 team will wear Briko Nitroratech glasses, MC Mesch T-shirts and Mesh Tank tops.

Nitrotech is particularly suitable for outdoor sports: it assures wide natural vision with zero distortion because it is fitted with nylon, ultra-light Spazio toric horizontal x 4 vertical base 8 lenses. Made up by injecting nitrogen in the frames (a Briko exclusive), Nitrotechs are extremely light, only 17 grams (they float), strong and stable on the face. Two sets of wraparound, interchangeable Spazio lenses are included in the pack, and they have anti-fog, water-repellent and photochromic treatment which ensures excellent use in any light conditions and for any sport.

The short-sleeved MC Mesh T-shirts and the Mesh Tank tops have a flat-stitched neck, waist and sleeve hemming, which prevents rubbing and irritation. They are made in hi-tech CoolMax fabric to guarantee rapid drying.
