Opsales, Inc. Signs Eyewear Agreement With Old Harbor Outfitters
Opsales, Inc., the New York-based manufacturer of polarized optical products and sunglasses, has signed a global licensing agreement with New England's Old Harbor Outfitters (OHO) to create a new line of high-performance eyewear that features 'Beneath the Surface' technology. The new sunglasses will be sold under the Old Harbor Outfitters brand and will be introduced in Spring 2008.
'Our 'Beneath the Surface' technology will bring sport fishing to a new level,' said Opsales, Inc. president Jerry Bedingfield. 'Through advanced polarization, this new feature will give anglers a competitive advantage. From spotting bone fish on the flats to watching blue marlin take the bait, our technology will allow anglers to see fish below the water line. Our new line is designed to remove surface glare, reduce eye fatigue, and provide essential sun protection from reflected light. OHO Sunglasses will be essential for serious anglers.'
OHO, which launched in 2006, manufactures high-performance, feature-rich apparel, bags and fishing gear. The company's policy is to only introduce products which incorporate the highest grade of materials that can take the punishment of extensive sea-testing by its team of sport fishing captains. This agreement marks OHO's first entry into premium, branded sunglasses for men and women.
