Polartec is a relative newcomer on the cycling block. Have you noticed it popping up in gear near you? Sportful, Rapha, Castelli, rh+ are all using it.

In fact, it’s been around for over 100 years making, as it says, “the impossible possible”. And that’s not just a throwaway line: it was Polartec that reinvented the way we dress in the 80s with its invention of fleece.

Today Polartec has many more technologies that are proving perfect for the cycling market. Is it possible to have clothing that adapts to your varying temperature while out training? With Polartec Alpha yes it is.

So how do you get to try Polartec out for free? Well one way would be to enter Polartec’s #FollowContador competition which launched on the August 29th.

Link your Strava account to the competition and cycle your way through 1000 km to be in with a chance to train with Alberto Contador from October 28th.

The big prize – training with Contador and his Junior and Under 23 Team rh+ Polartec Foundation Contador – will be a money-can’t-buy prize.
