Sitip recycled fabrics used in leader jerseys at Tirreno Adriatico

For nearly 60 years, the coasts of central Italy have played host to the Tirreno Adriatico Crédit Agricole pro cycling race, which is taking place from March 6-12, 2023.

For the second year running, Italian high-performance fabric firm, Sitip, has become a key supplier of the race’s four classification jerseys.

Bergamo-based Sitip has produced the fabric that apparel firm Sportful is using to make the four classification jerseys for the Tirreno Adriatico Crédit Agricole 2023. These will be worn by the leader of the General Classification (blue), the leader of the Points Classification (purple), the King of the Mountains (green), and the leader of the Young Rider Classification (white).

The Sitip fabrics used to make the four classification jerseys are Native-Pirata and Native-Game Light, used respectively on the front and back of the jerseys. These were chosen by Sportful on the basis of a body mapping principle whereby a certain fabric is selected for a specific part of the body to meet the needs of the function it performs.

The fabrics belong to a range developed using Native Sustainable Textiles technology, which includes products made from recycled yarns and using chemicals with a low environmental impact, so that the consumption of natural resources is kept to a minimum.

Both Native-Pirata and Native-Game Light are post-consumer recycled fabrics, GRS and bluesign certified, made entirely of recycled polyester and elastane, printable, and designed specifically for cycling jerseys.

Last but not least, Sitip adds that the Microsense Soft Performance technology… ‘bestows a gentle softness to the product, making it pleasant to the touch and super-comfortable on the skin.’
