Santini is one of the most famous and prestigious Italian cycling clothing manufacturers in the World. Pietro Santini founded Santini Maglificio Sportivo in 1965. The headquarters are based close to Bergamo, Italy and is still a family run business, with over 100 employees. Not only does Santini produce a new Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Collection each year, but they provide clothing for numerous Professional and National Cycling Teams as well as 200 plus amateur teams and clubs from all over the World. In addition to this Santini produce the UCI World Championship and Giro D'Itlalia cyclng lines. Santini takes care to research different fabrics and to study designs in order to be able to create functional and stylish cycling apparel. The reasons for Santini's success and their commitment to continue to develop and make improvements are based on a love of cycling. Combine this with their close relationship with professional riders, who test apparel and provide feedback on function and design. Team Sales Cycling works with Santini to produce its own exclusive line of Shorts, Bib Shorts, and Original Team Issue Professional cycling apparel. All of our Shorts and Bib Shorts feature Santini's finest Lycra blend fabrics, 100% elastic Twist Gel and Fluid Chamois (except for the CX Bib Short), drawstrings on the Shorts, white mesh braces on the Bib Shorts, and legs that are cut 3 cm short than standard (pro-cut). Compare Santini's Shorts and Bib Shorts for comfort, quality and value, and we think you'll agree with us that they are second to none. Team Sales Cycling only offers Original Team Issue Professional Clothing. This is the identical clothing the Pros receive, and not what Santini produces for sale to its other agents. The fabrics, the chamois, and the cut of the bib shorts differ on Original Team Issue clothing. Sure, such clothing is more expensive, but for cyclists who appreciate comfort and function then Original Team Issue is well worth it. All Original Team Issue Clothing is exclusive to Team Sales Cycling, and all clothing features the Original Team Issue hang tag. |
