(Seattle, WA) - For nearly ten years KAVU (Klear Above Visibility Unlimited) has created rugged, comfortable outdoor clothing and functional accessories that inspire active people in their adventures. This spring KAVU launches a line of sunglasses featuring the same quality materials and active styles seen in their clothing and accessory line. With the new sunglasses line KAVU also stays true to their lifestyle philosophy of embracing a passion for the outdoors and a zest for life.

KAVU Sunglasses feature high performance lenses and frames and are available at a mid-range price point. KAVU uses the toughest molded plastics, scratch and impact resistant polycarbonate lenses, and designs that withstand active use. The Spring 2002 line features four styles, all with injection molded frames. Styles include two athletic wrap fit models, the Perma Grin and El Blingo, a funky smaller sized model, the B-Bop, and a sturdy polarized model, the RUEZ. Colors range from pearlized pastels to traditional black and brown, and all have an MSRP of $44 to $78.

Barry Barr, President and founder of KAVU is thrilled to introduce sunglasses to round out their outdoor line. Barr says, "We see the introduction of sunglasses as a great opportunity to expand the KAVU line and meet the performance and lifestyle needs of the KAVU customer. KAVU Sunglasses are excellent year round products that compliment our seasonal clothing line nicely." KAVU Sunglasses will be available in outdoor stores next month. Soon you can view the full line of KAVU clothing and accessories, including the new sunglasses at www.kavu.com.
