What began as Pietro Santini’s vision to create **high-performance gear for cyclists** has grown into an internationally recognized brand. Today, Santini is led by Pietro’s daughters, Paola and Monica, who alongside their father, honor his passion for quality and innovation, designing and manufacturing their jerseys, bibs, and jackets to meet the exacting demands of pro cyclists as well as everyday riders. *“We place great importance on the responsible use of substances, actively working to eliminate PFAS from our products and adopting **non-PFAS membranes** **in our technical cycling apparel**. Our **partnership with Polartec** allows us to create high-performance cycling gear using recycled and environmentally friendly materials, which is a win for our customers and the environment.”* – Paola Santini, Marketing Director of Santini Cycling ![1 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768](https://polartec-polartec.transforms.svdcdn.com/production/img/1-Polartec-FP-SANTINI-768x768.jpg?w=450&h=450&auto=compress%2Cformat&fit=crop&dm=1745066919&s=404b1a561aa9c89c40b3e4cbdcf1b370) ![2 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768]() ![3 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768]() ![6 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768]() ![4 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768]() ![5 Polartec FP SANTINI 768x768]() ### Performance Where It Counts **Santini knows that in unpredictable weather, cyclists need apparel that moves with them, shields against the elements, and keeps them comfortable when hammering hard**. Too much bulk, and you’re overheating on the climbs. Not enough protection, and you’re freezing on the descents. Finding the perfect sweet spot? That’s where Polartec comes in. [**Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM** ](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/weather-protection/power-shield-rpm)was developed for this purpose, offering a **fully recycled**, **waterproof**, **windproof**, and **highly breathable fabric** that delivers **reliable protection** **without** the risk of **overheating**. Which is why **Santini relies on Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM for its innovative new Magic Jacket**, a groundbreaking piece that perfectly embodies the companies’ **shared vision of responsible innovation**. ### Engineered to Go the Distance Built for those cyclists who don’t sit it out when the weather turns, the **Santini Magic Jacket** is the ultimate **pocket-sized shield**. Built with [Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/weather-protection/power-shield-rpm), this waterproof and windproof layer punches well above its weight. Boasting a **10,000mm hydrostatic head**, it **keeps the rain off**, and thanks to a best-in-class **30,000g/m²/24hrs breathability rating**, it **dumps excess heat fast**. It also **stretches** with you, **packs down small**, and fits like a proper race-cut piece of kit, instead of a stiff, crinkly cape or flappy windbreaker. The dual-zip design lets you vent from the top or bottom, while the high collar and extended back keep you covered when the roads get wet. And if the sun finally does make an appearance? Stuff it into its own back pocket and forget about it. ### Living the Ride **As a graphic designer and content creator for Santini**, **Luca Zucchetti** knows exactly how to bring the passion of cycling to life through visuals and storytelling. And it’s not just about sitting behind a desk – Luca lives and breathes cycling. When he’s not busy creating content, you’ll likely find him out on the road, testing the very gear he helps promote. And when the weather takes a turn and becomes unpredictable, there’s one piece he always relies on: the Santini Magic Jacket (of course). Lightweight, breathable, and designed for movement, it provides the protection he needs without restricting performance, adding extra bulk or billowing out on gusty descents. ### Shaping the Future of Cycling Apparel **For racers, weekend warriors, and those who live to turn the pedals, Santini delivers kit that continues to set new benchmarks in performance wear**. Now, by bringing [Polartec® Power Shield™ RPM ](https://www.polartec.com/fabrics/weather-protection/power-shield-rpm)into the mix, the top-tier cycling apparel brand is making sure cyclists can ride hard, stay dry, and forget about their gear – exactly like it should be. **Elevate your ride with Magic, now available in an exciting array of colors**.
