Renewed and Enhanced: GOLDWIN x C3fit Compression Cycling Wear Hits the Stores

New cycling compression wear from GOLDWIN x C3fit now available

GOLDWIN Inc. (HQ: Shibuya, Tokyo / President: Akio Nishida / First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange: 8111) is pleased to introduce new items of bike wear under the brand name of GOLDWIN x C3fit, a joint brand combining GOLDWIN bike wear and C3fit, a high-performance compression wear brand. The new items will be available beginning in early April at stores carrying GOLDWIN bike wear.

Compression wear has been gaining interest among runners and other sports enthusiasts. C3fit high-performance compression wear has been especially well-received by a broad range of age groups in many sports, including running and trekking.

In the cycling market, which has been particularly strong among the increasingly health-conscious population, there has been a rising demand for high-performance wear to enhance pedaling speed and mobility.

To meet this market demand, GOLDWIN has since May 2012 been offering bike wear made in Japan with a completely original design by C3fit. The line maintains a comfortable and pleasant fit even after many hours of riding. Four new items will be introduced this spring.
