BALAZS BOXING PRESS RELEASE

ALLENTOWN, PA; January 8, 2002 - The Exoflex Sports Bra is Balazs, Inc's entry for the 2002 Sports Product of the Year awards. Each year, the Sporting Goods Manufacturer's Association (SGMA) and the Super Show showcase new products and innovations in the sports industry. At the Super Show 20-02, retail store buyers and sporting goods manufacturers will preview and cast their votes to select the five finalists for the Sports Product of the Year award.

Balazs Inc is proud to have the Exoflex as its entry this year. The Exoflex Sports Bra is designed not only to be comfortable to wear, but also to provide superior support and impact protection; something conventional sports bras simply cannot offer. The cups of the Exoflex bra are made of a flexible plastic that resists deformation due to hard contact. The bra provides protection from direct impact, yet, because it is flexible, fits comfortably to the contours of a woman's torso.

The Exoflex protective cups are sewn directly into the sports bra so there is no need to adjust or reposition the cups during activity. The Exoflex is light and comfortable and does not restrict the natural movement of the body. It supports without compression and protects without rigid plastics, providing a natural look and comfortable feel.

The Exoflex is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate the full range of women's needs. Bra sizes range from 32-38 and are available in cup sizes Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Not all cup sizes are available in every bra size.

The Exoflex Sports Bra is available now at www.Exoflex.com and will be in retail stores this spring. Orders may be placed online, by phone or mail. Visit www.Exoflex.com or stop by booth #12507G at the Super Show, for more information.
