La Sportiva, a leading company in Val di Fiemme specializing in the production of technical clothing and footwear for outdoor activities, officially presents the new collection for the upcoming FW25.26 season.
The line introduces new garments and footwear designed to ensure maximum technicality and high levels of performance during outdoor activities. It is designed to meet the needs of those who have a deep connection with the mountains and seek the best winter equipment to face their high-altitude challenges.
From technical mountaineering to ski mountaineering, from climbing to Mountain Running®, La Sportiva supports athletes and mountain enthusiasts with a wide range of innovative, technical, and high- performance products, without compromise.
The FW25.26 season marks a turning point in the ski mountaineering sector, where the Trentino-based company consolidates its presence in the touring world with the presentation of Kilo XTR and enters the freetouring segment with the new Sender model. These two boots are the result of a long process of research and development of cutting-edge materials and significant investments that La Sportiva has dedicated to a constantly growing discipline with an increasing demand for lightweight and high-
performance products. Kilo XTR stands alongside the Kilo model, introduced in the FW24 collection, and is designed to maintain the great natural walking ability introduced with Kilo and elevate the fun on the downhill. The boot removes any compromise between the search for lightness and support during snow adventures and addresses the need to offer an alternative for all those who see downhill as the pinnacle of ski mountaineering fun. Designed to ensure a smooth and intuitive transition in the respective Step-In, Walk and Ski phases, the Kilo XTR packs in just 1190g a concentration of innovation and versatility for pure skiing pleasure.
In the Mountain Running® sector, the Trentino-based company confirm its position as a leader in the world of ultra-distances and presents Prodigio Max, a model designed to ensure maximum comfort and cushioning on the longest and most complex routes. After the arrival of Prodigio in SS24 and the presentation of Prodigio Pro for the upcoming SS25, La Sportiva continues its innovation journey and completes the platform, designed to meet the needs of every ultra-runner, with a cutting-edge product intended to revolutionize comfort standards in trail running. Prodigio Max introduces the new XFlow® Endurance technology in the sole package, a foam that, in addition to offering a 13% increase in cushioning compared to the XFlow® used in Prodigio, significantly improves the dynamic behavior of the cushioning material in terms of elasticity, thus ensuring extremely durable cushioning with unparalleled comfort.
Continuous investments and the careful selection of quality brand partners have allowed La Sportiva to gain a premium position in the technical clothing sector, where today the company presents Lumina 100 Down Jkt, Lumina 200 Down Jkt, and Lumina 300 Down Jkt, a new line of down jackets designed to meet different thermal needs at different altitudes and temperatures. Characterized by extreme lightness, packable capacity and an unparalleled weight-to-heat ratio, the garments share a common goal: to ensure maximum thermal insulation while maintaining unparalleled lightness. The series features three versatile down jackets that redefine comfort standards in technical mountaineering activities and during rest phases at high altitudes: thanks to the use of Pertex Quantum technology and different feather weights, the garments are ideal both in aerobic phases and for maintaining warmth during moments of inactivity.
The high mountains continue to inspire the work of the R&D department in developing new versatile, functional, and optimized products. The FW25 clothing line is also renewed with the presentation of new shells and hardshell pants for ski mountaineering and technical mountaineering, thanks to the use of proprietary technologies such as Evo Shell® and partnerships with leading sector brands like Gore-Tex®.
The new Crest Evo Shell outfit, designed for ski mountaineering activities and to accompany Kilo XTR users, highlights La Sportiva’s proprietary Evo Shell® patent, which certifies garments made in collaboration with Sympatex® that are 100% waterproof and windproof, as well as 100% PFTE and PFC free. Evo Shell® is the result of the work of the Ziano di Fiemme craftsmen who have been committed for years to designing high-performance products for athletes and mountain lovers while respecting the surrounding environment.
The new Sender GTX Performance outfit, designed to accompany free-tourers during the most enjoyable descents, is instead made with the valuable collaboration with Gore-Tex® Performance with ePE membrane, the innovative coating based on expanded polyethylene that aims to ensure maximum durability, breathability, and resistance to weather conditions such as wind and rain. The same ePE membrane is also used in the new Alpine Guide GTX Performance and Supercouloir GTX PRO garments, pinnacle of La Sportiva’s Alpine Tech line, tested and approved by alpine guides for use in ice climbing activities.
The climbing sector celebrates the tenth anniversary of Skwama with the arrival of a new color that evokes the shades of the iconic Mariacher of the 80s. The shoe represents a La Sportiva icon that, after accompanying the achievements of several athletes over the past decade, continues to be chosen to seek maximum performance and flexibility on overhangs, in the gym, and on slabs.
