The result of two years of intensive research and development and on-field testing, 3N2 introduced what it claims to be the world’s first patented fastpitch softball pants.
The pants feature slimming construction, a low-rise front fit and a high-rise back fit for coverage. Four-way-stretch poly-spandex in hips, thighs and calves allows for easy movement. This NuFit is reinforced with heavy-duty poly knit to protect high abrasion areas, and a combination of elastic and poly-spandex holds cuffs in place without chafing.
3N2 CEO, Sean Murphy, views the patent as validation of 3N2’s heavy investment in women’s sports.
“When 3N2 first entered the market, manufacturers were simply ‘shrinking and pinking’ men’s gear,” said Murphy. “We were determined to break industry bounds by designing footwear and apparel with the female form in mind. Believe me when I say that it’s not easy to get an apparel patent. The NuFit is a real breakthrough.”
Natasha Watley, two-time Olympian and member of the National Professional Fastpitch (NPF) USSSA Pride, said, “My game is built on speed so I need pants that will move with me, not against me. NuFits fit like a glove. The best pant I’ve ever worn.”
Major colleges, elite travel ball programs and professional athletes are already wearing NuFit Knickers. 3N2 plans to expand its distribution in 2016 via major retail outlets.
