Sportful started out in 1974 when Giordano Cremonese was unimpressed with the ski clothing available to him.

It's history with cycling started in 1985 when the Sportful started to use it's knowledge gained from ski apparel and immediately found favour with professionals and amateurs enjoyed the benefits of their clothing.

With teams such as Ceramiche Ariostea, Maglificio Bianchi and ZG Mobili/Selle Italia using Sportful, it was when they started to supply the most successful team of all time - Mapei - that their brand was known worldwide.

Sportful then had the honour to provide the Italian National team's clothing and more recently they are a technical sponsor to Tinkoff Saxobank.
