STIGA + ICANIWILL COLLECTION 2019
This collection is empowered by a collaboration between STIGA and the Swedish made clothes manufacturer ICANIWILL with the goal of enhancing the image of table tennis and giving players apparel for all aspects of the sport, from working out at the gym, running, having coffee with friends, or winning the World Championships.
Why seamless?
The Seamless knitting technology introduces you to a whole new world of comfort and fit. The usage of seams is eliminated or reduced to a minimum and not only does it feel seamless, it also generates a consistently higher quality product. Consequently, this seamless knitwear looks better, fits better and feels comfortable in every situation.
The high-end polyamide material absorbs moisture and keeps the clothes looking and feeling fresh, even after a heavy workout or long tournament. With production based on yarn instead of ready fabric, the seamless technology is better for the global environment by reducing the need for transporting/shipping fabrics and by minimizing waste disposal during production.
