Italian indipendent: a new brand from the famous origins

presents this year to market a new brand, surely known to fashionistas but perhaps not to fans of skiing: Italian Independent. It is the brand founded by Lapo Elkann few years ago that is dedicated to creating the slopes Ski "Tailor Made".

Unlike other brands that work together to produce skis, not hiding the origin of these products, thus ensuring the reliability come from bstripe and Blossom, totally made in Italy and precisely in Valtellina.

The project's own admission the President of the Italian Independent, founded with the aim to satisfy a particular customer, is demanding from a technical and aesthetic.

On the technical professionalism of Blossom provides a cross made entirely by hand and customizable "over, under and inside", hence the name "tailor made", ie tailoring.
types to choose from ski are the RC and the RC giant slalom and finally the All Mountain. For the smaller version will also be available race skis and giant slalom.

The procedure for selecting the skis will be assessed primarily with customer requirements by completing a form on the Internet. Second will be contacted by a tutor who will follow him throughout the selection phase and during production of the ski.
And here comes the fun! Approximately skiing can be chosen from three hardness: Soft-Medium-Hard.

Independent Italian engineers, however, we point out that in reality the gradation of hardness is much more broad and diverse. To change the rigidity and elasticity of the ski is possible to intervene on three main structural elements and an indirect one. The first is to modify the presence, the thickness and the number of blades in the Titanal, the second is to act on the glass fiber, the third is to increase or reduce the profile of the wood and possibly change the type of wood.

The indirect element is related to the physical characteristics of the user in proportion to the length of the ski: you will be directed on one ski longer when you have a high body weight and structurally high, will receive a ski differently than another example equally tall but thinner.

And this was the choice of the "inside" the skis, but you can also customize it to layout, with the choice of three graphics for each model with the tricolor, black carbon and green military camouflage, respectively called Italian Flag , Carbon Style and Camouflage.

The slab will be personalized with three types of blends: Classic, Pro Racing and, depending on the skis and their own aspirations.

Race Carve GS will have lengths 152, 159, 166, 174 and 180 centimeters, with a radius of curve between 13 and 18 meters.
The Race Carve SL will have similar lengths 152, 158, 166, 174 and 180 cm, curve radii between 11 and 16 meters through a pronounced sidecut: 116cm with 101 in the tip and tail.
The All Mountain will have lengths from 152 to 180cm, with two intermediate steps 162 and 170 and curve radii between 12 and 17.5.
