December 8, 2008, Tukwila, WA – Fly Rod & Reel magazine has awarded ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go™ performance underwear a 2009 Kudo Award for helping to make fly fishing more comfortable, more enjoyable, more convenient and more fun.
Now in its 30th year, the Fly Rod & Reel Kudo Awards are given to what its reviewers believe are exceptional products that reflect the best and brightest ideas in fly fishing. The 2009 Kudo awards will be featured in Fly Rod & Reel’s January/February 2009 issue.
“The Fly Rod and Reel Kudo Award is an industry goal for every manufacturer, and to capture this award is a significant honor,” said Steve Bendzak, ExOfficio General Manager. “ExOfficio has been focused on the adventurous angler’s needs for over 20 years and a Kudo for our underwear speaks volumes to the appreciation that the angler has for the technical merits we engineer into ExOfficio apparel.”
ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go performance underwear (94% nylon/6% spandex) enables travelers to pack less. Give-N-Go is extremely comfortable, wicks moisture and dries in a few hours. It also features the AEGIS Microbe Shield® finish to fight odor and bacteria.
ExOfficio won a Fly Rod & Reel Kudo Award in 1996 for its Baja Shirt.
