Vennvind (wind friend in Norwegian) new clothing brand for racers and boaters, will be present at the Barcolana, the most crowded regatta in the world, from the 9 to the 13 October with a stand on the banks of the San Marco Basin.
Vennvind made its debut in the Italian market in the 2019 spring, but the philosophy that inspires the brand has more distant roots and is linked to a group of people who have gained long years of experience in styling for famous brands in the sportswear sector, which have chosen now to use expertise, passion and knowledge in an environment where they feel strongly inspired.
In the first months of activity, the company has dressed numerous Italian sailors and teams, including a team that took part in the Orc World Championship in Sibenik and a team that participated in the Giraglia offshore regatta, and also collaborated with some prestigious clubs providing the official t-shirts of the event, with the aim to "touch" and test the product, new for the market.
Among the testimonials on board, Giammarco Sardi, an ocean sailor who has tried out the garments in various transfers and regattas since the early hours, "I found myself very well with the long tarpaulin," says Sardi. "I like the solutions adopted, including the insert transparent on the sleeve, which allows me to keep my Ipod within reach and away from the splashes, keeping me company on long journeys with my favorite music. Even in heavy rain, the garments responded very well. The vest is also very warm and easily folded, ideal when you have little space like in the Minitransat class boats. "
The goal of the founder Loris Greggio, a sailor passionate about regattas and cruises and of the group that created the Vennvind line, is to create comfortable, practical, safe garments with an eye to style, which makes them suitable to be worn even in opportunities on the ground.
"The satisfaction of those who have tried our heads in racing and in free time, the durability and reliability they have shown even in difficult weather conditions, are an encouragement for us to continue investing in this clothing line." Declares Loris Greggio "For the spring we are making some new items to be included in the line, such as regatta overalls for men and women and softshell jackets, which will further expand our offer for the segment."
The Vennvind line features high-performance technical garments: light waxed fabrics with stretch DWR with inner membrane, all heat-sealed with 15000 water tightness and 15000 breathability, rich in internal pockets and functional gadgets, long and short trousers with soft and elastic fabrics quick drying and cordura inserts, t-shirts and polo shirts in technical fabrics with anti-UV and anti-bacterial treatment, for both men and women, offered in different shades.
The brand's novelty lies in the vision of the product which, while offering technical constructions, has a sophisticated and innovative look, the result of Italian research and design.
