La Sporitva, the leading brand in climbing shoes and mountaineering boots, will showcase its full range of winter clothing at the 2012 ispo Outdoor trade fair in Munich, Germany, marking its official entry into the outdoor apparel market.
Mr. Lorenzo Delladio, President of La Sportiva, explained: "Over the past two years, we have been committed to achieving strategic growth in the ski-mountaineering market. The first step was to refine our ski boot and snowboard series — starting with the Stratos, the world’s lightest all-carbon ski boot featuring innovative advanced technology, which was launched in 2008 — and expanding from there into a full line of ski boots, snowboards, and various binding systems. Following that, to meet the needs of alpine skiing enthusiasts, we introduced a complete apparel product line in the field of professional outdoor clothing."
For the new clothing collection, La Sportiva will continue its collaboration with long-term partner W.L. Gore & Associates, utilizing the highest-performance fabric: GORE-TEX.
