NORWALK, CT - Oct. 2, 2004 - GARSH Sports Equipment has announced that Eastbay will begin selling the company’s new high-tech athletic performance enhancement training equipment through the Eastbay catalogs and internet site. Both the SXE Weighted Glove and SXE Weighted Cross-Training Brace products will be available through Eastbay.

Eastbay is a world supplier of quality athletic footwear, apparel and athletic equipment, featuring major brands such as Nike, Reebok, adidas and New Balance. Eastbay was established in the early 1980’s to meet the performance needs of high school and college athletes, that mission has taken Eastbay's catalogs and Internet site around the globe - to all 50 states and more than 120 foreign countries and properties. Eastbay puts out more than 75 catalogs annually, and has a circulation of more than 80 million customers worldwide.

With those stats it’s no wonder Jerome Tomlin, president and co-founder of GARSH Sports Equipment has a big smile on his face these days. “We are so excited about this opportunity to partner with such an outstanding organization like Eastbay”, states Jerome Tomlin. He goes on to state, “Eastbay is the premier catalog and online retailer of athletic apparel, athletic equipment and footwear, and this partnership we are confident will take our company to new heights.

“We at GARSH were so impressed with the personnel at Eastbay that we once again have found a new appreciation for the instincts of some buyers in the retail sporting goods industry, because we started to get the impression that some buyers just don’t get it, but at Eastbay they fully understood, appreciated and immediately recognized what our products bring to the table for athletes and general fitness conscious people who are looking to improve.

“There must be some athletes working over there at Eastbay, and for that we are very grateful. I guess sometimes it takes an athlete to understand what an athlete needs and sometimes it just takes an open-mind to appreciate the value a new product can bring to the market. There is nothing out there like our equipment and we’re proud to say that Eastbay is the first company to bring it to you.”
