BRIKO and the Crew of Team +39 (article en anglais)

Varallo Pombia, May 2006 – BRIKO is sailing before the wind as it makes its way into the international world of sailing, linking its name and products to Team +39, which is presently taking part in the Act 10 regattas of the Louis Vuitton Cup.
 
“We are glad that the +39 crew chose Briko as a partner to tackle the demanding challenges of America’s Cup,” said Briko Marketing Manager Donn Kellogg.  “I’m convinced that the team captained by Olympic champion Luca Devoti will find great satisfaction in this magnificent sailing contest,” Kellogg continued. “Moreover, for us it will be an excellent testing ground for demonstrating and making the public and sailing enthusiasts understand that Briko products are particularly suited to sea sports as well.”
 
During the regattas the +39 crew will use the following BRIKO products ideal for whoever sails at the highest levels:
 
BRIKO Nitrotech eyewear. Particularly indicated for outdoor sports, it ensures a wide range of natural vision with zero distortion because it is fitted with ultralight 8 horizontal x 4 vertical nylon toric Spazio lenses.
 
Made by injecting nitrogen into the frame (a Briko exclusive), Nitrotech is incredibly lightweight: just 17 grams (they even float!). It is sturdy and extraordinarily stable on the face. Any challenge can be faced with this model.
 
Two interchangeable sets of encircling Spazio lenses are included in the package. They feature anti-fog, hydrophobic and photochromatic treatments that ensure optimum use in any lighting condition and in any sport. And if you wear prescription lenses, you can mount them problem-free.
 
Enough with limits to performance! Just practicality, comfort and spectacular vision!
