Vapor Apparel Announces The American Backcountry Collection;
From Alpine Spruce to Terra Mesa - Cool Wicking Colors for the Great Outdoors!

Charleston, South Carolina January 2nd, 2006

Today, SourceSubstrates announces The American Backcountry Collection, a new line of sublimation friendly performance shirts. This is part of the company’s long term commitment to developing high quality apparel and real variety for the digital decorator.

“The American Backcountry Collection is the result of a great partnership opportunity” says Jackson Burnett, President of SourceSubstrates. “American Backcountry is a well established brand in the outdoor retail market. Working on programs for National Geographic and with national outdoor retailers only adds value to the brand for our customers.”

The new colors of Vapor Apparel’s industry-leading Basic Performance-T include, Terra Mesa, November White, Alpine Spruce, and Blizzard Blue. The colors were developed in conjunction with American Backcountry, and designed for the outdoor enthusiast.

“We looked around quite a bit. We are very pleased with the quality of the garments and the entire business approach.” says Frank Hintz, President of American Backcountry. “SourceSubstrates is getting us exactly what we need to stay competitive.”

The new colors will be on display in January at the ISS Long Beach and the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City.

“These colors are a significant addition to the line” says Christopher Bernat, Chief Revenue Officer of SourceSubstrates. “The Basic Performance-T fabric was an easy choice for these colors. The outdoor guy is going to really like this gear. Sublimators now have four more colors that feel like cotton but wick like vapor.”
