INTRODUCING INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY For a sport where feel is intimately connected to performance, the interface between rider and bike is vital. The importance of a good chamois is easy to discern: padding without bulk provides comfort for long miles in the saddle and protection against chafing; material choice drives ventilation and moisture management. These are the hallmarks of the best designs and Sugoi continues to innovate and lead by constantly improving the ergonomic interface of our chamois through pressure relief, vibration dampening, moisture management, and breathability.

Less well known is the importance of another key interface: the one between your hands and the bar. Sugoi’s chamois technology has been expertly leveraged into our glove line, offering the same features and benefits - pressure relief, vibration dampening, moisture

We have a range of interface solutions being introduced in the spring of 2014. These ensure all day comfort for all types of riding applications.

RACING SYSTEMS Some say it would be foolish to tamper with the topselling shorts franchise of the last decade. We believe it would be crazy not to. Iconic, award-winning, best of breed; these are some of the laurels that have been attributed to on the RS short by athletes and critics alike. Accolades are nice but Sugoi’s approach to product refinement works like holding your place in the peloton: if you’re not constantly moving forward, you’re losing ground to the rest of the bunch. From a highly developed new leg opening and gripper system, to our feature-rich Formula FX chamois, the refinements to the RS Pro Short collection ensure that it continues to set the pace.

NEOSHELL The World’s Most Breathable waterproof cycling Jacket
The old paradigm in the waterproof/breathable equation was one of compromise: a hard shell prioritized waterproofness but breathability always suffered, whereas a soft-shell placed a premium on breathability but couldn’t claim to be truly waterproof. In most parts of the world, that tradeoff is acceptable. In the cold, wet conditions of coastal British Columbia, compromise is a dirty word. At Sugoi, true innovation requires a combination of clear insight, pioneering design, and advanced materials. When we set out to engineer the world’s most breathable, waterproof cycling jacket, the final obstacle was finding a material that met our exacting demands. Our partnership with Polartec gave us exclusive access to NeoShell®, a remarkable new fabric that allowed us to create the jacket we’ve always wanted. Its secret is unprecedented breathability, courtesy of dynamic air exchange. Combine that with the waterproof performance of a hard shell and we have a new paradigm on our hands. In an industry full of hyperbole, we’ll settle the debate with this parting thought: say goodbye to pit zips.
POLARTEC® NEOSHELL®
Introducing the latest innovation in weather protection fabrics, Polartec® NeoShell®- the first fabric to combine the superior breathability, ventilation, and stretch of a soft shell with the waterproof performance of a hard shell, delivering the best of both worlds. Combining protection from wet weather and unprecedented breathability through dynamic air exchange, Polartec® NeoShell® dramatically improves the environment inside the garment. Athletes will be drier inside in a wider range of weather conditions and exertion levels than ever before. Polartec® NeoShell®. Dry inside and out. Join the revolution.
Polartec® Power Shield® fabric is the next generation of technical outerwear – the soft shell. This clothing concept goes beyond traditional 2-layer systems, which feature fleece insulation and a waterproof/breathable shell, to a single layer that protects against all but the worst weather conditions and delivers extended breathability, abrasion resistance and stretch to enhance your outdoor experience.
Polartec® Power Stretch® fabric features body-hugging 4-way stretch and is very breathable. It keeps you dry when you sweat and provides warmth without weight. It is the most versatile outdoor and fitness apparel fabric available today. Polartec® Power Stretch® feature a proprietary construction with two unique surfaces: the durable outer layer is windand abrasion-resistant; the soft inner layer pulls moisture away from your skinkeeping you dry, warm and comfortable. This fabric excel’s at handling the demands of the next-to-skin environment.
coolertechnologY Sugoi’s cooler collection is made exclusively from IceFil, a high performance cooling material that both cools your skin and protects you at the maximum level from harmful UV rays. The flat yarn IceFil fibers are designed to absorb and disperse sweat. The material also undergoes a Xylitol fabric treatment process which yields a cooling effect when it comes in contact with perspiration, effectively turning your sweat into a micro refrigerant for topical temperature control.

INTERFACE TECHNOLOGY The interface between the bike and the rider is an integral part of the formula for success. Designing and producing world-beating chamois has come from years of experience with elite athletes and their needs which, other than massive Wattage outputs and 8,000 calorie diets, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that different from the weekend warrior. That technology is available in our gloves as well, because comfort and the ability to feel the trail or the road are key ingredients to a successful race, century, or training ride. No matter where you fall on the performance spectrum, the importance of a dialed interface with your bike is essential.
