A unique zipper
Chest traps are a classic part of soccer. And catching the ball on your sweatshirt's zipper is a classic pain.
So to give you something that's more suited to your sport, we have placed the T500's half zipper on the side of the collar.
Even with the zipper open, your collar stays in place. The result? Less discomfort as you play... and no excuses if you mess up your chest trap!
Find out how the T500 was designed:
As well as testing products themselves on the Kipstadium pitches in Tourcoing, our design team also watched soccer players on the pitch to help them come up with this T500 sweatshirt. It certainly gave them a few ideas!
For example? Laser Cut technology was used to create micro vents on the back and under the arms. These vents improve ventilation and help wick away perspiration
Let's talk aesthetics, feel and design:
To give you the best freedom of movement, we have designed this product with a close-fitting cut.
The new elegant, intuitive thumb loops keep your hands warm while still letting you move around. And if you don't use them, they're invisible in the sleeves.
The honeycomb fabric on the sleeves, thumb holes and down the sides gives a very technical, colourful visual effect as well as protecting you and making the sweatshirt longer lasting.
Julien, designer, and soccer player, tells us about the T500:
"It all started with this desire to move the zipper and have a shifted half-zipper, with maximum comfort for chest traps while also protecting the neck from the cold. The other challenge was to make the thumb loop an option. If you don't use it, it's invisible in the sleeve. Lastly, the honeycomb fabric reacts to the player's movements: visually it looks right at home. You feel good wearing it, a bit like a superhero."
The T500: tried and tested freedom of movement
Our ideas and technology aren't the only things that go into giving you freedom of movement during soccer. There's also you:
This soccer sweatshirt has been tested by 80 adult soccer players, supported by Kipsta test engineers and our R&D laboratory (Sports Lab).
It's thanks to soccer fans' feedback that we are able to present the T500: a popular sweatshirt designed for soccer that passed its tests with flying colours!
