The North Sails capsule collection or Prada's America's Cup

Per celebrare la 36sima edizione dell'America's Cup - sponsorizzata da Prada - North Sails ha presentato una capsule collection speciale del torneo. Il marchio americano sarà official clothing partner della competizione - in programma dal 6 al 21 febbraio 2021 in Nuova Zelanda - e ha realizzato una selezione di 30 capi realizzati tutti con tecnologie e tessuti all'avanguardia, in un'ottica di una migliore performance sostenibile. 

The North Sails capsule focuses mainly on knitwear and outerwear, which are made from recycled materials or with ad hoc processes to avoid waste or forms of environmental pollution. The sustainability of AC by Prada is particularly represented by the Auckland Jacket and the Wellington Jacket, two outerwear made with very innovative products and techniques. The Wellington is a 3-in-1 jacket - with a removable hood - and seaproof, with a special Repreve padding (a fiber obtained from plastic recycling); Auckland also has very sustainable materials: thanks to the High Frequency Welding Technology has no embossed seams on the jacket and this allows a significant saving of polluting products, in the midst of a best performance garment. Similarly, knitwear is also made with attention to the most sensitive details, such as those in recycled nylon and hydrowool treatment. 

With this capsule North Sails wanted to represent the love for the sport and celebrate the tradition of this competition, but above all, communicate the innovative values of the American brand, born precisely to produce clothing for sailors and always to be careful a combine elegance and comfort for its sportsmen.
