ACQUAZERO:
This is an ecological, water-resistant surface treatment used for the SITIP BLIZZARD STRETCH fabric.
This technology does not present any health risk (PFC/PFOA-free). It is based on specific branched polymers and gives the fabric optimal water-repellent properties. Besides, the treatment has no negative impact on the fabric’s breathability.
Thanks to fast-drying, a soft touch and high comfort, this fabric is well suited for outdoor clothing.

FREEDOM PAD:
This seat pad is milled and sewn and made of soft, fast-drying microfibres. The characteristic two-layer construction ensures support and comfort in the saddle.

SITIP BLIZZARD STRETCH:
This is a high-tech, thermal fabric that is specifically developed for winter cycling clothing and features an ultra-soft microfibre.
The easy-care material provides best elasticity and good shape retention, as well as very good breathability and high pilling resistance.

DWR PFC FREE:
PFC is a group of chemicals acting as intermediates, auxiliary materials or breakdown products of certain fluorocarbon compounds. They are used in garment production to impregnate clothing due to their durable water- and grease-repellent properties. However, PFC residues are non-biodegradable and may be harmful. Northwave uses a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) impregnation that is free of PFC.
