the skin to breath while preventing the product from running and causing eye irritation. Added moisturizers combat dry skin caused by exposure to sun, wind, and low-humidity mountain air. Antioxidants provide an extra level of cellular skin fortification. As an added safeguard for the sensitive skin of the lips, K2's Endurance Lip Balm also includes Vitamin E and Aloe for deep moisturizing.
"K2 Sports is in the business of providing world class products that deliver superior experiences for wintersports and outdoor enthusiasts," said Robert Marcovitch, president of K2 Sports. "K2's new Endurance Suncare products add an element of safety and performance that will give our customers peace of mind and more personal enjoyment during their adventures on snow or in the sun."
The scented K2 Sunblocks feature a functional on-mountain package design in both a 1.5 oz and 4 oz bottle optimized for use in active conditions. The lip balm has a new cap-less, silo-like container featuring one-handed "glove-friendly" functionality. Because men use significantly less sun protection than women, and men have much higher rates of skin cancer as they age, one of the underlying design motivators for the K2 Endurance Suncare line is to encourage younger men to become proactive in protecting their skin and lips in all exposure conditions.
The K2 Endurance Suncare products will be available at specialty ski, snowboard and resort shops; outdoor and sporting goods retailers; and online at http://www.k2suncare.com. The 1.5 oz and 4 oz K2 Endurance Sunblocks will retail for $6.99 and $12.99 respectively, and the Endurance Lip Balm will retail for $6.99. For more information please visit http://www.k2suncare.com.
