The sun's rays hitting the perfectly groomed piste, near the hot oven, are making skiers pizza. You hear that? It's Italy calling. Do you want to feel at home on its beautiful slopes in winter? Then there's only one choice. Tecnostretch functional clothing.
It takes its name from the branded material of premium manufacturer Pontetorto. Not far from picturesque Florence, Tuscan craftsmen have created the perfect second layer of thermal underwear. The extremely strong fibres are woven side by side into a strong and durable unit. Just as the imposing mass of the Alpine peaks has towered over the smallness of us humans for centuries, this thermal wear will stay with you for ages.
Plus, thanks to the addition of elastane, each functional hoodie magically adapts to your body. And there are many more tricks up this sportswear's sleeve. It snugs but doesn't squeeze. Insulates, yet lets you breathe. Warms you up, but doesn't overcook you.
So much for what you can see on the outside. I'm sure you're wondering what's inside. Thoroughly brushed and soft polyester is a perfect example of the triumph of the human spirit over nature. Even the finest wool couldn't caress you more gently. That's why Tecnostretch can be worn not only over a thermal shirt, but also on bare skin. No one's going to tell you how to dress.
Beneath the hard shell lies the softest core. The outside of Tecnostretch functional clothing is as tough as the toughest armour. But inside this cold-weather armor, you'll experience the comfort of branded Italian material. Don't miss the train. Better book first class.
The Tecnostretch functional hoodie brings the best of functional underwear. This sweatshirt is made using Pontetorto's signature Italian material, which ideally fulfils the requirements of a second functional layer. This superb man-made fibre material is lightweight, durable on the outside, hefty on the inside and superbly functional too. The Tecnostretch sweatshirt's brushed inner side will keep you pleasantly warm in colder weather. Compared to the Merino Upper, this sweatshirt is stronger and more durable, but doesn't offer as good odor resistance.

To wash or not to wash? That's the question. If you're a believer that frequent washing is bad for functional materials, then we have some shocking news for you. Sweat clogs the micro-pores of fibres just like fabric softener or unsuitable detergent, so it can rob clothes of their breathability.
Do something for your favourite sportswear and those around you and give your laundry aftercare after every sweat:
Use a gel detergent designed for functional clothing.
Wash at 30 °C and spin the drum at a maximum speed of 1200 rpm. Or select the sportswear programme on your smart washing machine.
Functional clothes dry quickly, so you don't have to put them through the dryer and risk losing their quality.
