Missoula, MT—September 29, 2011–Talus Outdoor Technologies, LLC®, maker of the revolutionary ColdAvenger line of cold weather protective gear, is partnering with premier buying group Snowsports Merchandising Corporation, offering its retail members immediate sell-in and delivery in 2011/2012.
Talus Outdoor Technologies enhances SMC members’ retail buying experience by expediting delivery of ColdAvenger face masks for the winter buying season. ColdAvenger face masks will be available to stock retailers’ shelves this Fall, 2011.
“We needed a boost in retail outlets in the northeast, so I’m excited by this partnership with Snowsports Merchandising Corporation,” says John Sullivan III, CEO of Talus Outdoor Technologies. “I also feel that we are offering a unique buying proposition and value-add to these retailers who already utilize and trust Snowsports buying group.”

The ColdAvenger’s soft medical-grade polyurethane nose and mouth chambers mixes inhaled cold air with exhaled warm air to achieve a dynamic balance of warmth and humidity while keeping moisture away from the face. The fabric is windproof, water resistant, and has a comfortable stretch to fit the face, ears and neck. The ColdAvenger’s patent-pending ventilation technology keeps temperatures inside the mask 40-60 degrees warmer than outside air while allowing total free breathing.
