Santini Adapt Multi, the jacket designed for intense training in the cold. Adapt tights, which combines the Polartec Power Wool fabric (in natural fiber) to synthetic fiber, equipped with a case back Santini C3 which really makes a difference when you have to pedal for many hours.
We tried these items which were created for a optimal range of use between 0°C and 10°C, but capable of being a great point of reference when the sun is warm, but in the shaded areas you can feel that winter is upon us. And then the collaboration with Polartec, which is not a detail.
Adapt Multi, a tailored suit
If it is true that it is a technical garment designed for the harsh weather conditionsIt's equally true that it displays uncommon versatility. Worn with a thick, long-sleeved thermal base layer, it becomes a true shield against the cold (and eliminates the need for a vest to wear on the descent).
If worn with light underwear, or short-sleeved underwear with medium thermal power, it can be worn (and used) even in the mid-season, where the sun warms, but in the shaded areas, the humidity and cold air cause the temperature to collapse (even the perceived one). Furthermore, it is a waterproof jacket and with one high wind protection.
Plant-based fiber
The outside has a compact finishThe inner layer is a sort of square, comfortable and almost imperceptible once worn, which promotes the continuous exchange of air. The result is that sweat is still produced during exercise (fortunately), but it does not accumulate, leaving the jacket dry and with an internal temperature always in line with the body temperature.
The fitting is adherent, not extreme to the full advantage of comfort and a technical garment that allows ample freedom of movement. Furthermore, for lovers of natural fibres, the Santini Adapt Multi It is made with thelatest version of the Polartec Power Shield membrane, thanks to more than 48% vegetable fibers. This membrane emphasizes the sustainability path undertaken by the Lombard company and another objective is to borrow solutions from this for all Santini garments that adopt the Polartec technologyThe list price is 249,90 euros.
The Adapt tights
If the jacket is a novelty, the Santini Adapt tights It is one of the staples of the top-of-the-range winter collection. It was one of the first to combine mixed fabric (natural, thanks to the Merino fiber and Polartec Polyamide), with the aim of combining comfort and protection.
It also has some fabric panels with different densities (and properties)It protects against cold and humidity on the most sensitive areas of the body, leaving greater freedom in other areas.
It's a pleasure to wear it
The seams are not felt, it does not squeeze and does not slip on the saddle, it does not get wet in the abdominal area and theimpressive rear support (which joins the straps) contributes to the stability of the garment, even after a “distance” workout (C3 padding is guaranteed for 8 hours of training).
Beyond the density and structure, the shape and how it is positioned, even the finish plays a role in favor of a “freshness” (It always makes you feel comfortable) in a very sensitive area where excessive heat sometimes affects cycling. The list price is €230.
