MAIN SPONSOR OF THE 17TH “MEZZALAMA TROPHY” FERRINO PRESENTS: HIGHLAB, THE BRAND’S FIRST TECHNICAL APPAREL COLLECTION

(27.03.2009)

Ferrino, pioneer of every new frontier in the outdoor world for the last 139 years, has chosen the “Mezzalama Trophy” for the official launch of HIGHLAB, the brand’s first collection of mountain apparel.

A project that is one of a kind and which shows its very best in performance terms in this legendary marathon amongst the glaciers of the Valle d’Aosta. Ferrino has always enjoyed close ties to this area, in particular since 1994, when the High Lab laboratories were set up at an altitude of 3585 metres on Monte Rosa. Since then, climbers, researchers and excursionists have been working there with the Ferrino team to fine-tune its high-tech prototypes.

HIGHLAB is the result of the know-how of a company with the perfect expression of innovation and tradition when it comes to Italian style in its DNA. HIGHLAB is a range of cutting-edge apparel in terms of performance, sizing and tailored fit.

The two shells shown here, Nahuel for men and Chiloe' for women, are made in an exclusive 3-layer fabric that is extremely lightweight and soft, guaranteeing the maximum waterproofness and breathability. Ergonomic construction and exclusive design offer perfect fit and freedom to move. Every detail has been studied to perfection from a technical viewpoint – collapsible pockets, heat-welded zips, adjustable hoods – and also in terms of design - graphics, colours and metal features.
The organisers’ staff and competitors of the “Mezzalama Trophy” will all be wearing a special item from the HIGHLAB collection, designed specifically for the occasion.
