(DENVER, Colo.) – March 8, 2011–Native Eyewear, the premier sunglass and goggle brand, has partnered with US Sports watchmaker Timex as sponsors of the 2011 Timex Multisport Team.

The team members are brand ambassadors for Timex and sponsors like Native Eyewear at hundreds of events worldwide, testing and refining new products for the endurance sports community.

“A partnership with a nationally renowned sports team like Team Timex is an exciting addition to our program,” said Marketing Director Jax Swartz. “Over 2011, we’ll continue to seek out the opportunities that allow us to engage performance athletes who are True Natives in every sense of the word – ambassadors who use their passion to fuel their sports.”

The 50 member Timex Multisport Team boasts such well known names as 2010 Ironman Canada Champion, Viktor Zyemstev; USAT rising star, Gwen Jorgensen; 2009 Ironman Florida Champion, Kiril Kotsegarov, and age group champ, Tim Hola.

“With the addition of new athlete, team and event partnerships, 2011 has been a year of tremendous growth for the Native Eyewear sponsorship program. Said Swartz, “Our goal this year is to put our eyewear to the test. We’ll leverage the experiences of world-class athletes across the country, refining and shaping our lines so that we continue to provide the superior polarized products that perform and protect athletes, letting them focus on their game, not their eyewear.”
