Heated Apparel Partner Returns to Keep USA Bobsled/Skeleton Athletes Toasty Between Runs as the Road to 2030 Begins

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — USA Bobsled/Skeleton (USABS) and ororo®, the most trusted heated apparel brand on the market rooted in bringing premium, timeless, and cost-effective heated gear, have renewed their partnership through the 2029-30 season, extending a relationship that will keep American sliders warm as they look ahead to 2030.

ororo will continue as the Official Heated Apparel Partner of USABS, supplying the national bobsled and skeleton teams with heated gear for training and competition.

The renewal comes as USABS looks ahead to an exciting new quadrennial, including the 2029 IBSF World Championships in Park City. Together, USABS and ororo will keep American athletes focused on speed instead of the cold as they chase podiums around the world.

Bobsled and skeleton athletes spend long stretches in sub-freezing temperatures at the top of the track, then must deliver an explosive push start within seconds of being called to the line. Cold hands and stiff muscles cost time. ororo’s battery-powered heated gear helps athletes stay warm and loose between runs so they are ready to perform the moment the clock starts.

“Over the past four years, it has been an honor supporting and celebrating the USA Bobsled/Skeleton team through day-to-day life, their training, and competitions with our heated gear,” said ororo CEO Mark H. “We are thrilled to be expanding and continuing our partnership with the USA Bobsled/Skeleton team for an additional four years as the team’s Official Heated Apparel Partner and to be supporting USA’s athletes.”

“Our heated gear was created to empower our customers to do what they love, no matter the weather, and ororo gear is designed to be durable, comfortable, and of course, toasty, to move with our customers through their daily lives,” he added. “This includes being flexible and robust enough to keep up with world-class athletes through their intense training and competitions. We are looking forward to continuing to keep the USA Bobsled/Skeleton team and their coaches toasty throughout the season.”

“ororo understood what our athletes need from day one,” said Aron McGuire, CEO of USA Bobsled/Skeleton. “Our athletes and coaches spend hours on the track in the cold, and staying warm between runs directly affects how they perform at the start. We are grateful to have ororo back with us as we begin the road to 2030.”

ororo is the most trusted heated apparel brand on the market, rooted in bringing premium, timeless, and cost-effective heated gear to customers around the globe. ororo’s heated gear includes vests, jackets, pants, gloves, socks, accessories, and more for Men, Women, Juniors, and Kids.
