In the competitive world of Olympic sport, where hundredths of a second make the difference between gold and bronze, design can play a pivotal role in helping a champion improve his performance. The emphasis on efficiency in materials and construction is paramount, but no designer of Olympic apparel is unaware that the eyes of the world are on these athletes' uniforms. Produced by Jonathan & Fletcher Inc. using a Racing Tricot 80/20 blend, this men's high performance Alpine ski suit has been signed by Norwegian super-skier Kjetil André Aamodt, the most decorated Alpine skier of our time, especially for the (RED) Auction.
