person Posted By: Santini On:

Santini Cycling Wear’s partnership with the Italian-Japanese NIPPO Vini Fantini Faizanè team is to continue for a second year with the Italian brand official supplier of the team’s competition kit and a whole collection of personalised garments designed to meet their needs throughout the seasons.

The latest arrival in the team, Moreno Moser, was guest of honour at the Santini headquarters in Lallio where he got a first-hand experience of the new kit that he and the rest of the team will be wearing throughout the 2019 racing season. A delighted Moser later declared: “The start of any season is always filled with expectation and new incentives. I’m delighted to be wearing this team’s colours and to get a preview of the new technical wear. Although Santini’s Made in Italy quality is always a guarantee in itself, of course.”

In 2019, the #OrangeBlue athletes will be wearing Santini once again as the partnership between the Bergamo company and the Italian-Japanese team has been extended with the former continuing to supply the latter with technical cycling wear. Also introduced yesterday at Santini’s GHQ in Lallio was the latest addition to the NIPPO Vini Fantini Faizanè team, Trentino man Moreno Moser, who got to see and experience the clothing and technical secrets of the 2019 kit for himself. He was flanked by the team’s sporting director Mario Manzoni and general manager Francesco Pelosi. Moser and the management team were welcomed to Lallio by Paola Santini in her role as Santini Cycling Wear’s Marketing Manager: “Opening the company’s doors to athletes is very important to us,” Paola Santini was keen to emphasise, “because it allows us to talk to them about the team’s real needs and to develop solutions suitable for the different environmental and weather conditions with them, which we can then replicate in our collections for the public.” Moreno Moser declared: “The new season has barely begun so our enthusiasm and motivation are very high. This is my first season with a professional team but on an organisational level, it is very much on a par with a World Tour. I had the pleasure of a preview of the 2019 team kit and it was a very positive experience to be able to see and feel at first-hand the quality offered to the team by Santini, an Italian technical partner of an incredibly high standard.”

The competition kit, which was unveiled at the meeting in the company, has been redesigned. The team’s signature #OrangeFluo has returned as the main colour of the jersey while the centre stripe and the sleeves with the Vini Fantini logo remain navy blue. A rhomboid pattern also adds both texture and different shades to various areas. The bib shorts are navy blue, creating an elegant two-piece kit.

From a technical perspective, the jersey is the classic slim fit cut demanded by elite athletes. The front is made from extremely breathable Kenobi fabric with an elastic blend at the back. The sleeves are raw cut and made from aerodynamic, body-hugging Bodyfit. The bib shorts are made from Thunderbike Power which exerts a gentle compression on tired muscles, with side sections in the customisable Lycra Monica. The chamois pad is the top-of-the-range Santini C3, which guarantees superb comfort, lightness and shock absorption thanks to Santini’s signature Carving technology.

Aside from the main kit, the team will also be supplied with a full collection to allow them tackle all the challenges they encounter throughout the year, training sessions included: winter bibtights, jackets and accessories, and rain wear are just a few examples of the apparel made in the team colours and sporting its logos.

Santini chose to base the latter on the new Custom collection and they are available to all amateur cyclists also.

Replicas of the official kits will be available from the santinicycling.com website and select cycling stores worldwide.
