ROKA Wins ISPO Award for Performance Water Apparel

Maverick Pro Wetsuit Recognized for Excellence

ROKA Sports, Inc. is proud to announce that its Maverick Pro wetsuit was selected as the winner in the Performance Water Apparel category of the 2016 ISPO AWARDS. An accredited seal of quality identifying the best sporting goods for the coming season, ISPO AWARDS are granted yearly to salute the industry’s most exceptional products. Independent juries of industry experts from ten countries met this month to evaluate all entries in terms of innovation, design and function, and ROKA’s performance wetsuit was honored among the finest sporting goods for 2016/2017.

Rob Canales, co-founder and CEO of ROKA said, “We are deeply honored to have the Maverick Pro recognized by the ISPO AWARDS. The pride is shared by the whole family here at ROKA, and the award validates all the hard work we put toward building performance from the ground up.”

Available for men and women, the ROKA Maverick Pro wetsuit is engineered with smart, area-specific buoyancy to enhance the fastest body position possible. It leverages physics, the world’s fastest materials and 30+ years of elite swimming experience to optimize speed, fit and comfort. ROKA’s patent-pending design is the choice of reigning triathlon world champions Javier Gómez and Gwen Jorgensen as well as numerous IRONMAN® champions and top athletes worldwide.

Canales added, “We set the lofty goal of making the fastest wetsuits on the planet, and then came years of intense R&D and endless testing by athletes of all abilities. It took so much because we decided in the beginning that nothing but a true game changer would be good enough, and that no-compromise attitude really set the foundation for our approach to product design. Athletes demand the best from themselves, and as a company founded by athletes, we respect their dedication by always striving to give them the best. Being validated by the ISPO AWARD will inspire us as we continue to take the same approach with a growing range of performance products.”
