FILA Launches Platinum Collection for the US Open
FILA’s tradition in innovation rushes forward with the bold, breakthrough Platinum collection, set to debut on FILA’s sponsored athletes at the US Open. Designed to be futuristic armor for the athletic warrior, this directional collection features INVISTA’s THERMOCOOL™ fabric, to wick moisture away to keep you cool and dry in warm conditions. Insulation technology based on specially engineered hallow fibres broadens your comfort range in cooler conditions. INVISTA’s THERMOCOOL™ fabric has dual functionality, a lightweight and breathable fabric for all seasons.
Add to that luxe tonal jacquard and mesh texture pairings in cutting edge hues, laser-cut no-sew seams, hyper-modern silhouettes that enhance the form via body-map inserts, and intelligently placed media ports to accommodate tech devices, and you’ve got our modern day version of a suit of armor ready for battle on the tennis court.
