“We have a strong opportunity to start fresh with a trusted premium brand,” notes Dodge. “We are passionate about bringing the energy of Garmont to mountain athletes here in North America. With Ben Palliser leading our sales efforts we will focus on developing an effective and mutually beneficial relationship with specialty retail stores.”
