Our Technologies
Through ongoing research, development and road testing, Alé has developed numerous technologies to improve the fit, comfort, aerodynamics and performance of our garments.
BODY MAPPING
The Body Mapping System studies the functionality of the garment during riding. This allows careful selection of fabrics for various areas of the garment dependent on the need for ventilation, breathability and protection.
BONDED TECHNOLOGY
Bonded Technology allows garment assembly without the use of traditional seams. Fabrics are glued together by special tape that doesn't affect the elasticity of the fabric but reinforces their resistance. It improves the comfort of the garment because it removes the need for traditional seams that could cause rubbing.
CS STABILITY SYSTEM
The CS Stability System is a heat transfer in hypoallergenic silicone applied to the inside of the leg hem. It allows the shorts to adapt to different body shapes. This system also works during pedalling by reducing the compression of the elastic.
LEG COMFORT SYSTEM
The Leg Comfort System is an wedge-shaped elastic insert, at the back of the bib shorts to improve the fit for various leg sizes. It also reduces the compression of the leg hem while riding.
DWR TREATMENT
Our DWR {durable water repellent} treatment is applied on fabrics to prevent dirt and moisture from penetrating the fibres while safeguarding the breathability of the garment. The result easier garment maintenance and a comfortable dry sensation in humid days.
EVO STABILITY SYSTEM
New elastic system for the leg hems. The band is elastic with woven non-slip threads: it is like a second skin that keeps the bibshort in place without constriction and creates a compression effect that helps performance during rides.
FREE BIB SYSTEM
Lightness, rapid-drying and comfort are the three main features of the Free System Bib. This new elastic, aims to support the shorts without constriction, keeping them tight to the body. A raw-cut edge and a thin layer of elastane on the inside provides an extremely soft touch and maximum adherence to the skin.
J STABILITY SYSTEM
An elastic system made in double layer fabric: a technical carbon fabric outside and a pierced fabric inside to ensure improved breathability. This anatomic band keeps the garment in place during riding, allowing a perfect fit at the same time.
LEG STABILITY SYSTEM
The elastic band used in the bottom of the bibshorts. Leg Stability System is printable, ultra-thin and keeps the garment in place thanks to the Silicone threads interwoven through the fabric. Allows a perfect level of compression without constriction.
MESH STABILITY SYSTEM
Open-weave breathable elastic band with dotted silicone on the inside and reflective application on the outside.
OPEN BIBS
The new Open bibs are pierced for better sweat control. Created to facilitate moisture evaporation, the bibs fabric has an open structure to improve the ventilation.
TT GRIPPER
A method of thermo-application of stretchy silicone parts onto the internal side of the fabrics, in order to improve the adherence of the garment to the body, reducing folds and enhancing the aerodynamics.
ZERO FRICTION
The new Zero Friction bib uses raw-cut material and bonded technology to eliminate rubbing on skin. The fabrics have been chosen for their softness and resistance but also their thinness, to enable an extremely technical and comfortable assembly.
