PORT WASHINGTON, NY--(Marketwire - December 15, 2008) - For Winter sports lovers, crazeeHeads
(www.crazeeheads.com) has 15 styles of helmet covers, including eight plush
animal models. For kids, the crazeeHeads adorable animal helmet covers
include a snow leopard, koala, panda, monkey, pig, and many other
fun-loving characters. Not just for kids, crazeeHeads also offers stylish
quilted models and faux animal skin models for adults.
On a recent Today Show segment, Olympic Gold Medalist Peggy Fleming gave
Meredith Vieira an ice skating lesson. And to make sure she was safe, she
also gave her a helmet topped with a crazeeHeads black quilted cover.
All crazeeHeads helmet covers are constructed of machine washable polyester
with a cotton lining. A clever drawstring feature makes every style easy to
adjust for most size helmets (from a child's XXS to adults XXL), and all
can be worn with goggles.
Helmets for skiers, snowboarders, and ice skaters are becoming increasingly
popular to protect against head injuries. The Consumer Product Safety
Commission recommends that winter sports lovers wear helmets to reduce head
injury risk. Some European resorts sell discounted lift tickets for
pre-teens and teenagers who wear helmets, and some give free lift tickets
to youngsters skiing with a parent while wearing a helmet. In addition,
Italy and Spain insist that children wear helmets, and Austria may soon do
the same.
"If a child resists wearing a helmet, parents can easily overcome their
reluctance by wearing a helmet themselves, and buying crazeeHeads for the
entire family," said Margaret Spiegel, President, crazeeHeads, inc. "I love
seeing a family of pandas or raccoons swooping down the slopes or on the
skating rink knowing that everyone is having a ball and also better
protected from injury."
Suggested retail prices for the crazeeHeads' plush animal helmet covers are
$34.99 - $36.99; embroidered velvet is $27.99; quilted nylons are $26.99;
and faux animal skins are $23.99.
crazeeHeads are sold worldwide through retailers and distributors in the
USA, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Europe, and can be purchased online
at www.crazeeheads.com or by calling 1-866-4-CRAZEE (866-427-2933).
