MEN’S PRO TECH TAIGA RUNNING HOODIE - CARBON
The Pro Tech Taiga hoodie is one of those designs where we introduce changes not because we should, but because you ask us to – athletes and customers. You shared a few interesting comments, which we’ve incorporated into the new version of the Pro Tech hoodie.
Pro Tech Taiga has everything that should be found in a solid thermoactive running hoodie: an anatomical cut, well-shaped sleeves finished with a thumb hole, deep pockets, and a hood for wind and sudden changes in weather. The upgraded Pro Tech is definitely lighter than its predecessor and enhanced with bold, energetic prints. The hood in this model is, in a way, a separate part of the hoodie – putting it on does not change the position of the collar – it doesn’t pull it up.
We wanted the hoodie, in addition to its thermal insulation properties, to be resistant to light rain and wind, and pleasant to the touch. We sewed it from two types of fabric – the first, made from a waterproof and breathable membrane, protects the chest, back and shoulders (the areas that give off the most heat); the second – inserted at the sides and on the sleeves – is an elastic and soft Thermo Pro knit that follows the body’s movements, making the hoodie practically unnoticeable. The whole piece is finished with “mesh” microfleece – an extremely delicate and pleasant material that additionally warms the body.
Both in this version of the hoodie and in its predecessor, we focused on details. We designed them so that they look really good on the silhouette. We used reverse (flat) zips that do not deform in movement. The thumb holes are finished with a sturdy yet soft elastic trim that doesn’t pill despite repeated friction. Size information, instead of a sewn-in label, is applied with durable sublimation printing directly onto the fabric. The hoodie has a slightly extended back that shields the lower back from the wind and doesn’t ride up under a backpack.
Taiga Pro Tech works great as a so-called second layer. Fans of cross-country skiing, running and trekking will appreciate it. Urban outdoor lovers will like it not only for its performance, but also for the interesting combination of vivid colours and Taiga prints inspired by the harsh forests of Eurasia. In a city look, the hoodie pairs well, for example, with basic jeans.
At ATTIQ, we make clothes to last for years. We believe sports collections don’t have to change often. We choose materials sourced from the European Union. We create locally – in our workshop in southern Poland.
