Monday 17 January 2011 15:03
With his brand new Barricade tennis outfit, Andy Murray is fully equipped for the Australian Open, starting January 17th. As in previous seasons, the Barricade range focuses on great comfort and pure performer benefits.

Thanks to the ForMotion? technology, the Barricade T-Shirt and shorts enhance freedom of movement and provide the highest comfort possible by naturally moving with the body while performing. The bonded seams and collar cause less skin irritation and add a highly technical look.

The ClimaCool? technology with specifically engineered mesh zones guarantees top ventilation allowing the body to maintain optimum body temperature. The towelled pockets within the shorts help to dry the hands from sweat while the special elastic tape enables a very smooth and comfortable waistband solution.

Andy Murray will step on the Australian courts in two Barricade outfits, intense green and black as well as pure white embellished with intense green details.

His footwear reflects the mentality of his outfit, capitalizing on performance benefits. Ten years of refinement make the Barricade 6 the most stable, protective, and resilient tennis shoe on the planet.

The Barricade collection is also available for female tennis players, offering the same benefits as the men’s range. Most essential are the bonding, ventilation and the freedom and comfort of movement that the women’s products equally offer.

Justine Henin will start her 2011 campaign with a two piece Barricade outfit consisting of a T-Shirt and a skort featuring an inner tight. This outfit comes in two color combinations of fresh pink, intense green and white. Her highlight will definitely be the new Barricade 6 women’s shoe that is 10% lighter than its previous version and additionally possesses an internal forefoot stabilizer.
