Fashion & biking together: The Cosmopolitan fashion-tech line by Sitip inspires the “cycling sector”

30th edition, a new location - from Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance to modern Frankfurt - and a new main theme for Eurobike: From cycling to mobility, a claim that underlines the path and the change that the bicycle has made in recent years, from a purely recreational and sports device to a means of transport in support of the mobility revolution.

At the most important fair in the cycling sector, where all the sports news are presented - from technologies, to clothing, to accessories - there’s also Sitip, being linked to this sport for years with expertise and passion and with its technical fabrics.

Within the complete Sitip proposal for sportswear, the NATIVE Sustainable Textiles line, which mixes avant-garde, sustainability, technology and performance: GRS certified recycled fabrics for the production of which low environmental impact chemicals are used.

At the fair you will discover the Sitip products for the sportswear market:

THE COSMOPOLITAN FASHION-TECH LINE ARRIVES IN CYCLING

The absolute novelty is represented by the COSMOPOLITAN FASHION-TECH line, which, conceived to be of style, design and to be used in urbanwear, now enters the world of cycling in all respects: stretch and with a soft touch - thanks to MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology – resistant and opaque fabrics - thanks to ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology, which guarantees protection from UV rays - breathable and with easy maintenance able to improve the comfort and performance of athletes with their qualities and characteristics.

This is the case of the COBRA 40 Power, a high compression fabric - 215 gr - and composed of 32% by Elastane: exceptional muscle support and compression that are well suited for use in cycling shorts, for contemporary comfort and style. And Castelli’s Quick Step shorts were created with our Cobra 40 Power.

COBRA 40 Power is available in various patterns, obtained with the embossing technique, which creates exclusive and modern textures on the fabric with geometric and design effects.

Slightly heavier (225 gr) and in a recycled version, it’s the NATIVE-COSMOPOLITAN OSLO, suitable for tights&leggings, but perfect for cycling shorts as well: bi-stretch, shaping, with UV protection (UPF 50+) - thanks to ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology - free-cut and with a covering and comfortable effect on the skin, thanks to MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology, as well as COBRA 40 Power.

In prepared for print version, Sitip presents the COSMOPOLITAN KYOTO, perfectly suitable for activewear: 240 gr of circular polyester fabric, enriched with the same high-performance technologies ECLIPSE Sun Protection and MICROSENSE Soft Performance as the previous polyamide fabrics.

For cycling knitwear, particularly suitable for mid-season, Sitip offers two back-brushed fabrics: NATIVE-INSTICT GZ, pre-consumer recycled polyamide, with UFP 50+ protection, thermal, stretch and available in two embossed designs, and ENERGY PLX GZ, in prepared for print version, heavier but still stretch, thermal and equipped with UFP 50+ protection too.

Finally, at the fair you will be able to touch the sports suits of the most important national and international competitions, as the Pink Jersey 2022, and the uniforms of the professional teams entirely made with Sitip technical fabrics.
