                       CLARUS STOCKHOLDER GROUP COMMENCES
                                  PROXY CONTEST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

     Greenwich, Connecticut, April 24, 2002. Warren B. Kanders, Burtt R. Ehrlich
and Nicholas Sokolow, collectively the holders of approximately 5.5% of the
outstanding common stock of Clarus Corporation (NASDAQ: CLRS) (the "Company")
announced that, in order to preserve and enhance stockholder value, they have
filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC (the "Commission") seeking
their election to Clarus' Board of Directors in lieu of management's nominees at
Clarus' annual meeting of stockholders. The group's nominees, all of whom are
successful and well-respected members of the business and legal community, are
seeking to implement strategic alternatives to enhance long-term stockholder
value.

     Mr. Kanders, noting the Company's recent dismal performance and the decline
in stockholder value, stated: "We believe that unless changes are made right
now, the value of the Company will continue to erode. We do not regularly seek
to enter into proxy contests with incumbent management, and we do not take these
steps lightly. We have tried to present our ideas for increasing stockholder
value to management and current Board members, but have been rebuffed. We are
confident that our nominees possess the experience, intelligence and ingenuity
required to lead Clarus out of its current difficulties".

     This press release is not a proxy statement, nor is it a solicitation of
any proxy. Any such solicitation will be made only by a written definitive proxy
solicitation statement (the "definitive proxy statement"), duly filed with the
Commission.

     Messrs. Kanders, Ehrlich and Sokolow have filed a preliminary proxy
statement (the "preliminary proxy statement") with the Commission. Please read
the preliminary proxy statement carefully because it contains important
information, including information regarding Messrs. Kanders, Ehrlich and
Sokolow. You may obtain a free copy of this press release, the preliminary proxy
statement and, when available, the definitive proxy statement, at the
Commission's web site at http://www.sec.gov. A free copy of this press release,
the preliminary proxy statement and, when available, the definitive consent
statement, may also be obtained from MacKenzie Partners, Inc., at 105 Madison
Avenue, New York, NY 10016, toll free telephone number: (800) 322-2885.
