NEW PRODUCT RELEASE: </br>GRAMICCI POLARTEC COLLECTION<br>X <br>POLARTEC® 200 SERIES FLEECE®

The 1980s ushered in a wave of bold fashion trends, from the era of big hair to parachute pants. The realm of outdoor apparel was no exception, embracing oversized silhouettes and daring designs that mirrored the adventurous spirit of the times. In the midst of this dynamic period, a new generation of free-spirited rock climbers, known as the Stonemasters, found their home in Yosemite National Park. These climbers pioneered a fresh approach to the sport, emphasizing speed and style in their ascents.

Among the ranks of the Stonemasters was Mike Graham, a climbing enthusiast with a keen eye for design. Recognizing the need for apparel that could meet the demands of this new climbing style, Mike embarked on a journey to create the very first climbing shorts. In doing so, he inadvertently laid the foundation for Gramicci's emergence as a trailblazing force in the world of outdoor fashion.

Fast forward to Winter 2023, and get ready to level up the wardrobe as Gramicci joins forces with Polartec® to create a cozy capsule wardrobe made to live in. At the heart of this winter wardrobe is the remarkable Polartec 200 Series Fleece. Soft, breathable, and crafted from 100% recycled polyester, it's not just trendy; it's eco-friendly too. What makes it truly extraordinary is Polartec's ingenious bi-component knit construction which provides warmth without the extra weight – the perfect companion for winter adventures, from skiing to everyday outings.

With Polartec's Fleece as a canvas, Gramicci has unveiled the unisex Maxi skirt that is a must-have for chilly days as an ankle-length fleece skirt with two side seam pockets. The Gramicci Pants are a nod to the brand’s origins in rock climbing apparel featuring slanted front pockets that include a zipper closure to keep items secure. Top it off with a Crew, Vest, or Thermal Jacket for the ultimate coziness. 

Gramicci and Polartec have come together to create a collection that's a testament to shared values of quality, innovation, and sustainability. Offering iconic pieces designed for cold weather, this collaboration seamlessly combines technical excellence with fashion-forward flair, offering the best of both worlds. Embrace the cold season with style, purpose, and, most importantly, comfort.
