SNOT SPOT EXPANDS PRODUCT LINE
One-of-a-Kind Accessory for Skiers and Snowboarders Now Available for Runners, Hikers, and Walkers

Vail, Colorado – August 1, 2006 – Snot Spot®, the Vail-based start-up that last year introduced the first wearable, washable, fleece nose wiper for skiers and snowboarders, has announced the availability of a new version of its product, the Hand Spot™. Unlike the original Glove Spot™ and Mitten Spot™ which are designed for use over a thick winter glove or mitten, the Hand Spot is designed to be worn directly on the hand or over a very thin glove or liner.

“After the original product hit the market, we received many, many requests from joggers and others who wanted to use the product for cool weather activities that don’t require a large, insulated glove,” says Brennon Martin, Snot Spot president. “We decided to introduce a product specifically for this market, designed with this kind of user in mind.”

The Hand Spot has a slimmer, more fitted design and is made from a thinner, less bulky fleece than the original. It also features an adjustable hook-and-loop wrist strap to fit a wider range of users’ hands. The new features allow the product to be worn comfortably on a bare hand providing the same soft, non-chafing surface area for taking care of those pesky drips while not interfering with the dexterity required for tying laces, adjusting straps, or handling dog leashes.

“Our customers loved the original Snot Spot,” Martin continues, “but they kept telling us that runny noses were a problem in lots of places besides on the ski lift. The Hand Spot makes the Snot Spot applicable to a much wider market.”

The Snot Spot Hand Spot will be available for order by retailers beginning at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Salt Lake City August 10-13, 2006. The product, which retails for $9.95, is available in a single “one-size-fits-most” version and will be sold in black only.
