Men’s running top Alfa Pro

The men’s Alfa Pro running top is another piece in our minimalist sports collection. We made it with runners in mind, although our intuition tells us it will win a wider group of fans.

The Alfa Pro top is a running top with a cut somewhat similar to a cycling jersey – the common features here are the zip, the silicone gripper strip and cuffs that hold the fabric in place on the body. We made it from three panels: the front, the back, and a high side panel (running right up under the armpit). In the side panel we sewed in small, stretchy pockets finished with an elastic band featuring the ATTIQ logo. The generously sized pockets will fit, for example, a wireless earbud case, an energy bar or a sachet of nutrition. We finished the fitted sleeves of the Alfa top with a wide, soft cuff separated by a flat seam. The sections dividing the side and front parts of the top were shaped to visually contour the silhouette.

When choosing the zip, we wanted it to be soft and flexible – to match how the top feels on the body. Even so, it is sturdy and copes well with being opened quickly while running: tugging, stretching, pressing, etc. We added a silicone pull to the slider to stop it slipping from your fingers when unzipping or zipping up. At the base of the zip we applied a minimalist, contrasting stripe pattern in different widths. That’s not the only detail – we stitched a soft ATTIQ logo onto the chest, and placed the “break your limits” slogan on the back – a line that appears throughout the clothing and accessories in our collections.

At the hem of the Alfa Pro top we sewed in a wide, openwork tape, coated with silicone on the inside – it prevents the fabric from shifting, keeps it close to the skin and is gentle on it: it doesn’t rub or irritate, and thanks to the spot application of silicone the skin can breathe freely.

The Alfa Pro running top is made from a lightweight sports fabric with MICROSENSE technology, combining breathability, softness and lightness. When you hold it in your hands, you feel it only through the zip and the elastic at the hem (and even these elements are relatively light). When worn, it creates a second-skin effect – it moves with you and, thanks to the openwork structure of the fabric, provides a pleasant cooling feel. The running top dries quickly and doesn’t require any special care beyond the basics used for sportswear – so it can be a top for everyday training. Reflective elements on the back ensure visibility.

We’ll admit honestly that the minimalist style of the Alfa Pro top – and the way it stands out because of that – makes us particularly fond of it. We already know that those who prefer aesthetic restraint and a sparing message when building their sports wardrobe reach for it with enthusiasm. These qualities, along with solid workmanship and a well-thought-out cut, give our top timelessness, class and – if one can write this about sportswear – training elegance.
