Specialist sports compression brand, Compressport is riding high having signed a new partnership with UCI Pro Tour Team Katusha. Starting with the Giro d’Italia, now under way, the Katusha team will wear a limited-edition range of Compressport’s products that have been manufactured in team’s blue and red official colours.
While racing, the team will wear Compressport’s new Bike Pro Racing Socks. This technical sock has been designed for cyclists in that it gives posture hold, helps with microcirculation and has the brand’s 3D dots that provide shock absorbency, breathability and keep water away from the feet. There’s also a silver ion treatment in the sock – as a bonus against perspiration and the spreading of bacteria.
Outside racing; the team will wear Pro Racing Armsleeves and Leg Sleeves during training and for recovery after races; and Full Socks for travelling (by air, car, bus, etc.), so their legs are able to properly recover and rest.
Viatcheslav Ekimov, Katusha Team’s General Manager, said “Katusha is very proud to work Compressport. It has established itself as a benchmark brand for compression garments and socks. The whole Katusha Team is looking forward to collaborating with Compressport to develop the most advanced cycling racing socks and compression products.”
Tim Williams, the distributer of Compressport UK said “We are delighted to be able to announce this partnership. It demonstrates that our products help cyclists to perform better, whether this is our Bike Pro Racing socks that have been developed specifically for cyclists or our full socks that are used by athletes from all sports to help them recover more effectively between races.
“We are already working with one of the world’s leading MTB riders, Sally Bigham, and this demonstrates our further commitment to cycling.”
This partnership will enable a close collaboration between Compressport’s R&D team and the Katusha riders ‘in order to develop quality products responding to the demands of elite racing.’
