Garmatex IceSkin(TM) Fabric Chosen by Running Apparel Company BOA (Built On Athletics) For Cooling Technology

Chilliwack, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 11, 2017) - Garmatex Holdings Ltd. (OTC PINK: GRMX) ("Garmatex Holdings" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Garmatex Technologies, Inc. ("GTI") has stated that Garmatex proprietary cooling fabric technology IceSkin™ is the first choice for California based running apparel company BOA (Built On Athletics).

BOA is expected to introduce a line of men's and women's running apparel using proprietary Garmatex IceSkin™ fabric to be launched in mid-2017. IceSkin™ combines Jade infused cooling technology with Garmatex Bact-Out™ Anti-Microbial, lightning fast moisture transport, and UV protection.

Jeff Fleming of BOA was quoted, "We are always looking for new state of the art fabrics to ensure our customer has the best product available, and GTI has raised the bar. Having state of the art products are key to stay ahead of the pack and offer the best products."

"We were trying to find the answer to controlling body temperature to ensure peak performance at all times. So we tested this fabric on athletes running in the deserts of Arizona in temperatures exceeding 110 degrees and also in East Cape, Baja where temperatures were in the upper 90's with 95% humidity.. The cooling properties of this fabric made the runner feel like he was wearing his own personal air conditioning system."

GTI's President and CEO, Darren Berezowski, says: Its great to see that athletic apparel companies like BOA are validating the cutting edge technologies being innovated by GTI. From the beginning GTI has sought to develop technologies that would address extreme conditions that both the amateur and professional might face each day. We are looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship with BOA.

GTI is the developer of the Company's recently licensed Garmatex scientifically-engineered fabric technologies and performance technologies, including a patented T3® design, Bact-Out®, CoolSkin®, WarmSkin®, Kottinu, ColdSkin™, SteelSkin™, Satinu™, CamoSkin™, RecoverySkin™, SlimSkin™, AbsorbSkin™™ and IceSkin™. Garmatex Holdings (GRMX) has also agreed to acquire GTI subject to customary terms and conditions. There is no assurance that Garmatex Holdings Ltd will acquire GTI as contemplated or at all.

Additional information regarding Garmatex Holdings Ltd., GTI, and Garmatex scientifically-engineered fabric technologies are expected to be made available in subsequent press releases.
