WPS Announces New Distribution With Heated Gear Manufacturers California Heat

Pylesville, Maryland, February 26, 2019 – California Heat, LLC, a leading manufacturer of heated clothing, is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Western Power Sports, Inc. (WPS) to distribute its diverse catalog of 12V powersport and 7V battery powered heated gear.

Over the last 59 years, WPS has become the fastest growing distributor in powersports due to their outstanding service and product offering coupled with outstanding delivery and distribution.

“We knew from the moment we met the WPS team that the partnership was meant to be,” said Jennifer Ambrose, Director of Corporate Relations. “Both companies have built a family business based on customer care and with consumer feedback driving their solutions. It’s that family feel combined with superior service that makes this partnership successful.”

California Heat offers a lifetime warranty on their heating elements and plugs.

THE SEARCH IS ON! JOIN THE 2019 REV’IT! WOMEN’S US ADV TEAM

Since 2017, REV’IT! Women’s Team members have played an integral role in product testing and brand representation in the ADV community, each through her own interpretation of “adventure riding”—whether that’s rugged, long-distance journeys to backwoods trail rides. The team underscores the brand’s commitment to the growing population of female motorcyclists, and works to highlight women’s contributions to the riding community, specifically the adventure segment.

REV’IT! is looking for two riders to join its US Women’s Adventure Team in 2019. The search is open to woman adventure riders of any age and experience level residing in the continental United States, with the ability to share their gear experiences and a desire to expand female ridership in the ADV community. Interested applicants can visit www.revitsport.com to apply now through March 13, 2019.

COULD IT BE YOU?

“The REV’IT! Women’s ADV team has connected me with so many female riders across the country,” says Amelia Kamrad, who has been on the team since its inaugural year. “I now have a network of amazing women around the country advancing female participation in this sport, and helping to cheer each other on.”

Kamrad will return to the REV’IT! women’s team for the 2019 season alongside Erika Bean and Jenna West, for a team total of five (including the two new members). They will continue to represent REV’IT! at events across the country participate in its product testing program, one which has already yielded feedback to be incorporated into future REV’IT! women’s gear.

Erika Bean calls the team a vehicle for empowerment. “I have gained confidence not just as a rider, but as a female rider in a male dominated sport. Our team presence at rallies and events has contributed to a larger overall shift in attitude: Women are being acknowledged and accepted as adventure riders, too. I encourage all women riders with a passion for motorcycles and adventure to join us in the movement.”

The new team members will have a direct interface with REV’IT! product designers to provide gear feedback, and will receive brand support for individual projects, trips and more.

SHOW US WHAT YOU’VE GOT

Are you an excited, ambitious rider with a penchant for gritty adventures, dirt-packed escapes or just mapping your own course in the world? We’re looking for female adventure riders of any age and experience level who reside in the continental United States and who have the ability to share their gear experiences with a community – whether that’s the ADV world at large, your own local ride groups, or another specialized group you’re tapped into.

CAPTURE THE MOMENT

You’ll need to be able to take a decent photo (or have a pillion rider who does – professional photography skills are not needed, but a decent eye is), and do enough regular riding to put our gear to the test. Most importantly, you should want to expand female ridership in the ADV community!
