The Woolmark Company<\/a> and Prada<\/a><\/span> are in Milan this evening to unveil the ground-breaking new technical Merino wool kit to be worn by the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team, as they set sail for the 37th<\/sup> America\u2019s Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Additionally, the extended Woolmark and Prada partnership has seen them work together on expanding the kit to include performance apparel for cycling, running and gym-based training activities, as they are the three main forms of exercise that the team undertake during the season. That product will also be made commercially available later this year.<\/p>\n

The new custom-made kit includes Merino wool-rich T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, leggings, a cycling suit, a waterproof jacket and a revolutionary ultralight windbreaker. At just 60gsm, the 55% Merino wool windbreaker is windproof thanks to the density of the weave, and the presence of Merino wool \u201censures superior breathability\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
