After long and careful planning and a painstaking testing process, Italy’s Pontetorto reports it is ready to present its brand new Super Tecnostretch line to all of its sports customers. The fabric is designed to take comfort and elasticity to a higher level than the previous range of Tecnostretch proposals.

An even more compact structure, thus greater resistance to pilling and abrasion, excellent elasticity in all four directions for optimal comfort to guarantee excellent performance allow Super Tecnostretch to set itself as a reference in next-generation sports fabric, the Prato based warp knitter says.

"The idea was born to meet the needs of a market increasingly competitive for performance technology," says Marco Toccafondi, general manager of Pontetorto.

"Which leads us to push research in the direction of total comfort and elasticity. Super Tecnostretch is the result of an in-depth study we have been carrying out for months and represents the natural evolution of the Tecnostretch range that has been so successful in recent seasons. Suitable for every environment and in every occasion, such as outdoor or travel wear up to athleisure, it is perfect as a second layer and in some cases also as a base layer. It provides excellent thermal insulation and high breathability, lightness and compactness at the same time and an excellent fit. Thanks to its featherweight, it is a perfect travel companion."

Pontetorto’s Super Tecnostretch will be on show at Performance Days (4-5 October 2023) and Ispo Munich (28-30 November 2023).
