At a time when winter sports are at the centre of attention, Ducati is broadening its horizons by choosing to partner with Kappa®, a brand with a long tradition in technical sportswear. A meeting of two companies united by a shared vision of sport, resulting in a limited-edition ski capsule collection designed for those who combine their passion for two wheels with a passion for the mountains and the outdoors.

The Kappa® x Ducati capsule collection brings Ducati’s attitude to the world of skiing through a distinctive, technical look, developed to ensure high performance and style even on the snow.

An exclusive collaboration combining Italian design and sporty DNA, it includes ski pants, a padded jacket, a vest, a fleece, a softshell jacket, and a selection of accessories, including a cap and headband. The pieces are characterized by a bold aesthetic and technical solutions inspired by motorsport, such as the reinforced band under the ski jacket, developed according to the same protection principles as motorcycle jackets, and the reinforced inserts on the knees of the pants. Details are designed to improve durability, comfort, and freedom of movement, while maintaining an instantly recognizable style.

Alessandro Cicognani, Ducati Licensing & Corporate Partnership Director: “Winter sports are about to experience extraordinary attention in our country, and we wanted to celebrate this important season by exploring a world that we feel deeply connected to our values. We chose to partner with Kappa®, a historic Italian brand that has been a regular presence on the podium at the World Ski Championships for years, boasting renowned expertise in technical sportswear not only for professionals but also for all lovers of this discipline. After all, many Ducatisti share this passion and a vision of sport based on the pursuit of performance and the desire to experience every moment with intensity and authenticity. With this capsule collection, we want to speak specifically to them, extending the Ducati experience to the snowy slopes. We are delighted that not only our fans, but also everyone visiting our country in the coming weeks, will be able to discover the Ducati collection in Kappa® flagship stores in Italy’s main ski resorts, including those that will soon be making their mark on the global public, such as Cortina d’Ampezzo, Bormio, and Livigno.”

Alessandro Boglione, CEO of the BasicNet Group, declared: “Working with Ducati represents a truly significant milestone for us. It’s the meeting of two worlds that, despite belonging to different disciplines, share the same values: passion, adrenaline, performance, and technological innovation. Ducati is a global benchmark in motorsport and represents Italian technological excellence worldwide: we at Kappa are proud to partner with such an iconic brand. This collaboration in the world of skiing perfectly expresses Kappa’s technical DNA and our commitment to interpreting sport at the highest levels.”
