"This association is perfect synergy between leaders in their
respective fields. We are proud to partner with the US Bobsled and
Skeleton Federation and look forward to having their athletes
standing on the podium in Karbon. Our relationship with USBSF
exemplifies our commitment to supporting world class athletes,"
stated Schure. "All Karbon products are designed with the highest
technical specs and features and we are pleased that Olympic and
World Champions utilize these garments to their fullest capabilities.
This will be one of several elite teams that will partner with us in
researching and developing new fabrics and technologies that will
give Karbon an unprecedented level in active apparel".

"The affiliation between the United States Bobsled and Skeleton
Federation and Karbon Schure Sports is a natural," replied Roy.
"Just as the U.S. National Bobsled and Skeleton Team athletes set the
performance standard on the ice, Karbon sets the performance standard
for winter outdoor apparel. Outfitted in Karbon apparel in
preparation for each race, U.S. athletes will have a competitive
advantage in facing the harsh weather often confronted on tour."

The United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation has a history of
success. They took home six medals at the last winter Olympics and
then, during the 2002-2003 season, they laid claim to 17 World Cup
and World Championship medals (4 gold, 8 silver and 5 bronze).
Expectations of another successful season are running high.
