Santini has partnered with Polartec to create a unique waterproof jacket that features a highly breathable monolithic membrane and a Durable Water Repellent treatment (DWR). Made with 100% recycled polyester Polartec Power Shield RPM fabric, the new lightweight MAGIC is waterproof, non-PFAS and extremely stretchable, representing yet another milestone for the vaunted Italian brand in reducing its impact on the planet.
At the core of the MAGIC, is Polartec’s Power Shield RPM, a recycled 2-layer polyester fabric that revolutionizes weather protection by offering best-in-class waterproofness and breathability. It also ensures high-stretch comfort and resilience, providing an extensive range of motion thanks to its highly durable 100% recycled polyester Power Shield RPM membrane.
“Polartec Power Shield RPM is a pioneering fabric featuring a highly durable non-PFAS coating to repel precipitation and has a 10,000 mm hydrostatic head to keep external moisture out. When combined with an industry-leading breathability spec of 30,000g/m2/24hrs, Power Shield RPM redefines the idea of unstoppable comfort for highly active users. More importantly, it helps solve one of the biggest problems for competitive cyclists: underperformance due to overheating – up to 50% less compared to other Polartec membranes. Moreover, the fabric’s exceptional stretch and recovery also provide a full range of motion to satisfy the requirements of top-tier athletes and weekend enthusiasts alike. In addition, the use of sustainably sourced recycled polyester reduces the product’s carbon footprint,” explains Santini.
Polartec Power Shield RPM showcases the company’s ability to provide stretchy, soft, silent and highly breathable materials that are perfectly adapted for use in the worst conditions a cyclist would ever find themselves in. Completely thermo-sealed and wear-resistant, Santini MAGIC features an extended back to keep the body completely dry in the rain. It’s also extremely light, with the fabric weighing only 100 g/m² and the jacket, in size M, just 155 grams. This means it can be easily stowed in the side-zip pocket located on the back of the jacket, making it perfectly portable.
Additionally, the MAGIC jacket also features a double front zipper that opens from both the bottom and the top, a high collar for maximum protection from wind and rain and a reflective Santini logo on the back ensuring visibility and safety during low-light riding conditions.
The MAGIC jacket is available in black only for €200, which can be purchased at www.santinicycling.com, or through authorized Santini’s retailers.
