Hincapie focuses on performance technology in latest range

27/09/2012
US-based cycling apparel maker Hincapie Sportswear has launched a collection that introduces a highly reflective, state-of-the-art reflective fabric as well as yarns that optimise airflow over the body.

The Spring 2013 collection has been tested and refined with feedback from the BMC Racing Team and features a Power Jersey made from quick-drying Aerator double-weave fabric, which wicks moisture away from the skin, and VenTech for freedom of movement.

Shorts feature coldblack finish technology, which reflects heat away from the body to regulate temperature while also providing UVA/UVB protection. Other features include ABR Resistor Lycra in saddle wear areas, which resists abrasion, and a quick-drying VelociTek mesh upper, which wicks moisture away from the body.

The bibshorts use HyperOptic Elastane fabric with pinhead-sized eyelets and a reflective surface underneath. In natural light the sublimated colors of the top elastane layer are visible. At night, bright vehicle light shines through the tiny eyelets in the elastane and reveals hidden highly reflective subsurface, illuminating the cyclist to motorists.

Other additions to its offering include the Nitro Jersey, which boasts an aerodynamic pattern that hugs the body to reduce drag and maximise performance, and the Nitro Bib Short, made from durable AT2 Tour Lycra Power which provides compressive support to stabilise muscles and reduces fatigue.
