Quality Berber Fab 4 Fleece bags - the go-everywhere, do anything carryalls for work, play or storage - by Chisco

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 6 -- Mention the Fab Four and everyone thinks you're talking about the Beatles. But at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Aug. 13-16 in Salt Lake City, Chisco will offer the "Fab 4 Fleece" bags for work, play or storage.

The bags feature high quality Berber fleece that has a more textured look than plan, flat fleece. Sizes range from micro to X-large in a plethora of colors - black, red, midnight, cashmere, forest, and mulberry -- and with Chisco's popular AccentÆ trims. They will be sold in a bundled package of four or separately.

These sturdy bags can carry everything from jewelry, cell phones, sunglasses and cameras to camping stoves and headlamps and will fit in backpacks, glove compartments, purses, and ski bags. Features include a cord lock closure with a removable rustproof clip for hanging in places like closets, garages or door hooks.

The fleece bags represent a new product line for Chisco, which also manufacturers THE BANDÆ, The Original Action Sports Watchband. Beirne Chisolm, co-founder and president, said the bags "are an outgrowth of Chisco's leadership strategy to bring new, innovative accessories into the marketplace rather than 'me-too' products."

The furry bags should be a "hit with organization freaks, outdoor enthusiasts, those who want to simplify their lives or who just want more convenience. We also think the bags make a fashion statement."

Fleece bag sizes include Micro: 3 x 4", Small: 5 x 5"; Medium: 8 x 8"; Large 10 x 10"; Extra Large: 14 x 14"; Optical: 4 x 7" and Goggle: 7 x 11."

The AccentÆ trims used on the fleece bags are similar to the trims that have made THE BANDÆ watchbands and other Chisco products so famous. They are developed from graphic artists working throughout the United States. Retailers can request specific trim designs from the existing watchband collections such as the Northwoods, Taos, Venus, Retro, etc. New trims are released three times a year.

Chisco is a Salt Lake City-based company established in 1988 by Beirne and Gregg Chisolm, two brothers from Rye, N.Y., who settled in Utah to attend college and enjoy skiing. Because of their love of outdoor sports, especially skiing and wind surfing, Beirne and Gregg first developed THE BANDÆ, a watchband that would survive rigorous use, especially water sports, and prevent the watch from being lost, even if the watch pin broke. That product, which became successful worldwide, was followed by a line of sports accessories that include bi-fold and tri-fold wallets for men and a checkbook/wallet organizer for women, keychains, belts, a shoe pocket, neck wallet, and dog collars and leashes. Chisco products are sold all across the United States and in many foreign countries around the globe.
