A unique partnership is about to redefine the standards of cycling apparel. Alé Cycling, a well-known manufacturer of high-quality clothing, and eVent Fabrics, a reference in the field of technical membranes, recently announced a collaboration that brings the “stormburstLT” membrane to the world of cyclingThis partnership marks an important milestone: Alé is the first brand to launch cycling garments that use this cutting-edge, high-performance, PFAS-free technology.
Introduced by eVent in early 2025, the “stormburstLT” membrane represents a crucial innovation in the technical textiles sectorDesigned specifically for high-intensity outings and adventures, this technology combines extreme lightness, high breathability, and exceptional resistance to rain and light snow. The absence of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl substances) not only makes the product more sustainable, but also doesn't compromise performance in the slightest. The “stormburstLT” membrane allows the release of excess heat and humidity, ensuring optimal protection and long-lasting comfort, especially when weather conditions are unpredictable.
The production of these fabrics is the result of a collaboration between eVent and ITTTAI, an Italian company specializing in premium technical fabrics. ITTTAI supplies to European brands, such as Alé, the materials needed to create ultra-modern, high-performance garments, taking Italian excellence and craftsmanship to a new level.
FAN and TRACE: Innovation in action
Fruit of this synergy, Alé presents two new jacket models that integrate stormburstLT technology: the FAN jacket and the TRACCIA jacket.
The FAN jacket, available for men and women, is the perfect ally for winter outings. With an ideal temperature range of -3 to 6 degrees, combines eVent's three-layer fabric with a highly breathable, quick-drying fleece lining. The Body Mapping design of Alé ensures active protection from atmospheric agents, while the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment offers additional defense against light rain.
For milder conditions, Alé offers the TRACCIA jacket, a lighter version of the FAN. Designed for autumn and spring, with temperatures between 0 and 12 degrees, the TRACCIA is ideal for more intense ridesLighter fabrics and specific Body Mapping ensure optimal dispersion of excess heat, keeping the cyclist dry and comfortable.
Both jackets combine elegance with advanced functionality. Technical details such as raw-cut cuffs for an aerodynamic profile, an optimized back hem for stability and reflective logos for visibility, make these pieces a perfect combination of style and performance.
