Ukrainian Spirit wears Ilse Hebbrecht

Ukrainian Spirit Evolution powerboatPilots of the team Ukrainian Spirit will wear an exclusive uniform from a leading Belgian designer Ilse Hebbrecht. She is the world’s leading designer in the field of clothing for sports and yachting. Her collection consist of Speedwear and Yachting Couture.

The new uniforms will be presented at the first stage of the UIM Powerboat Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea World Championship 2010. In the new season, the members of the team “Ukrainian Spirit” will be competing in the uniform by Ilse Hebbrecht known as the designer of brands like Offshore Legends and Outboard. Her sports collection features elegant style, strong marine character and use of innovative materials, making clothes another factor to achieve victories. Considering the exertion, which the sportsmen must withstand during the race, a variety of materials was used to create the uniform.

All items worn under clothing (shirts, polo) are made of 100% natural cotton. Tech and very lightweight material soft-shell was used for outerwear, consisting of three layers of fabric, each performing a specific function. The top layer of fabric is breathable and water resistant 3000 mm, the middle layer is a membrane and an inner layer is made of micro fleece, which allows the body to maintain optimum temperature.

According to Ilse Hebbrecht, the exclusive uniform for the team Ukrainian spirit has comfortable and fashionable sport style: “Such clothes should stick within the sea spirit. So I have chosen blue and white/beige as the primary colors, and the details are made in bright yellow and red colors. For the crews, competing in classes SuperSport and Evolution, we have deliberately chosen a single command uniform, as the team is beginning in powerboating. Therefore, the collection is not large, but carefully thought out”.

The presentation of the new uniform of the team “Ukrainian Spirit”, who are the World Champions in 2009 in offshore circuit racing will be held in Yalta on May 7-9, 2010 at the opening of the first phase of the World Championship Yalta Grand Prix of the Sea 2010.
