Following a successful autumn/winter collection in 2020, the collaboration between the two performance brands introduces a new line of technical clothing suited to performance amid the rigours of everyday life.
Inspired by the design and engineering
of McLaren supercars, the new summer 2021 collection uses lightweight,
technically superior performance fabrics and manufacturing techniques to
create a range that feels as luxurious to wear as a McLaren does to
drive - while providing exceptional performance characteristics for the
wearer.
Every piece in the collection has been precisely
engineered using quality, high-stretch fabrics for a full range of
motion, with a sharp, automotive-inspired cut that adapts to any
occasion.
Like McLaren’s supercars, every last detail has been
thoughtfully considered and executed in the creation of the
collaborative performance collection.
Hero pieces from the new
summer line include the McLaren Performance Jacket. Inspired by McLaren
lightweighting technologies, the jacket is light and water resistant. It
is constructed from a breathable, high-stretch performance fabric with a
matte bonded finish and trim cut to create a sleek silhouette and
provide optimum comfort.
The McLaren Performance ¼ zip is crafted
from a four-way stretch fabric for maximum mobility with a tailored
neck and shoulders and slim athletic cut for a sharp, supercar inspired
silhouette. The performance fabric is water resistant, insulating,
thermoregulating and UV protecting. A brushed interior delivers comfort
and warmth.
Similar to McLaren aerodynamic design, the Superlight
Vest and t-shirt optimally controls airflow to maintain maximum
performance. Made from a high-stretch aerated mesh, both garments have
laser-cut eyelets to enhance ventilation and breathability.
The
design philosophy of ‘everything for a reason’ is key in all McLaren
supercars and is something that translates into all of the summer 2021
collection pieces.
The McLaren Performance shorts are
high-stretch and cut with side seam splits to eliminate any possible
restriction of movement. They include a haptic elasticated waistband and
hidden drawcords for a precise fit and concealed-zip side pockets for
added convenience.
The McLaren Performance Trouser uses bonding
technology to remove any risk of chafing, utilsing a high-stretch fabric
for maximum ease of movement and comfort in the driving seat. The
back-yoke panel ensures a tailored fit, with precise adjustment from the
hidden drawcord. Subtle zipped side pockets keep those keys safe.
Finally,
a bestseller in its own right, the Castore Garcia hoodie has been
modified by the McLaren design team to produce the ultimate McLaren
Performance Hoody. The finest elements of the original garment have been
tweaked and updated to create a waterproof, windproof, lightweight
piece that delivers on comfort and performance.
This is the
second collection released by Castore in collaboration with McLaren and
follows the recent announcement that from next year Castore will be
producing the team kit for the McLaren Racing Formula 1 team.
The collection is available to purchase now in Harrods’ Knightsbridge store, Castore stores and online at www.castore.com.
