Popular baggage and eyewear supplier now to produce team casual threads
UAE Team Emirates are pleased to announce that Scicon will become the official activewear clothing provider for the team from 2023 onwards.
Scicon produces high-quality, eco-friendly activewear, and from this year, the company will dress the World Tour team,including riders, staff, and management, with a specific focus on incorporating sustainable and lifestyle-conscious aspects into the team’s apparel.
Mauro Gianetti, CEO & Team Principal of UAE Team Emirates, says, “We share a common vision with Scicon Sports, and their emphasis on innovation aligns perfectly with our own. We are confident that this partnership will bring new and exciting opportunities for both organisations.”
The activewear collection was designed to keep up with the team’s busy schedule and bring eco-friendly elements to the highest level of professional cycling. The collection includes premium Italian T-Shirts, eco-friendly hooded jackets made from recycled plastic bottles, water-resistant overtrousers, and other high-performance gear, as well as classic wardrobe essentials like polo shirts and stretch jogger pants.
“We are honoured to partner with UAE Team Emirates, a world-class organisation that provides us with the perfect platform to showcase our cutting-edge clothing and test new technologies under extreme conditions,” says Claudio Fantin, Marketing Strategist of Scicon Sports. “Innovation is at the core of our brand, and we are committed to fusing fashion with function and eco-friendly practices,” he added.
This partnership builds on a successful relationship established in 2020, during which Scicon Sports also became the official supplier of eyewear, bike bags, and luggage for UAE Team Emirates. The companies have experienced incredible success together during this time, winning a record number of World Tour races, including the Tour de France in 2020 and 2021.
The entire SCICON X UAE TEAM EMIRATES activewear collection will be available for purchase at sciconsports.com and at all SCICON SPORTS retailers.
