By Aart van Bezooijen - Jun 13, 2007
The sports industry is a great breeding place for new materials and technologies. The ispo BrandNew is one of the recognized competitions for the sports industry and an useful barometer for upcoming trends in this field.
Check out this year's ispo BrandNew Awards winners with an exiting overview of low-to-high tech innovations such as the clothing line by "Losgeloest" made of all natural materials such as the bark of trees, the exclusive "Waldmeister" bike with a handcrafted wooden frame, or the eco-friendly "Easy-Glider" as chariot-like transporter and overall winner (photo).
