ROA & C.P. COMPANY Collaboration introduce the first sportswear collection. The first collaboration between the two Italian brands brings together technical outdoor gear and forward-thinking sportswear.
The collaboration between C.P. Company and ROA Hiking emerges from two distinct design trajectories, connected by the same drive towards research and innovation.
C.P. Company’s contemporary sportswear, shaped by continuous experimentation with fabrics and dyeing processes, intersects with ROA’s approach to the outdoors, which reinterprets technical elements and solutions from hiking through a modern design language. From this convergence, a collection takes shape that integrates the aesthetic and functional codes of both brands, extending a tradition of Italian design that continues to evolve from one generation to the next.
The collection reinterprets C.P. Company’s iconic Goggle Jacket as the NUNA down jacket, crafted from water-repellent 10D ripstop nylon and insulated with 800-fill-power down, with a custom Lens on the left wrist. The collection also introduces a long-sleeve T-shirt constructed using 3D seamless technology in Dryarn® by Aquafil, wool, polyester, and elastane. Its body-mapped texture is engineered to deliver advanced thermal regulation while keeping weight to a minimum. ROA’s technical approach is expressed through the Cingino footwear model with a co-branded logo. Its extended lacing system allows for greater adjustability and a more secure fit.
The water-repellent nylon upper is combined with a waterproof membrane lining, while a rubberised toe protects against impact and abrasion. A Vibram® XS Trek outsole with a lugged tread completes the construction, delivering enhanced traction across uneven terrain. A packable bag in water-repellent micro-ripstop nylon completes the collection, featuring polyester down padding for light structure and protection.
Colour research runs throughout the ROA & C.P. COMPANY collaboration. On the jacket and bag, a pigment over-dyeing treatment settles unevenly on the fabric, producing a distinctive dusty effect. On the footwear, the upper is airbrushed and stonewashed, and a hand-applied treatment gives the rubberised toe and sole a distressed effect. The knit follows a separate dyeing technique: an initial dyeing stage is followed by the application of special agents that act as a resist. During the subsequent over-dyeing process, the resist creates an iridescent effect and a two-tone texture.
High at 2800 meters on top of Cima di Pietra Rossa in Val Canè, ROA and C.P. Company introduce their collaboration with a short film directed by Nicolò Bassetto and starring actor Lorenzo Gioielli. At its centre is a solitary figure recalling an experience lived in a remote and hostile landscape.
Through his words, fragments of a night spent at high altitude begin to emerge: the biting cold, the darkness, the unfamiliar sounds, and the physical sensations that remain long after an experience has passed. As the story unfolds, brief glimpses of the past invite the viewer to piece together what happened, and here, clothing becomes part of the experience, responding to the landscape and the test of time. Through a focus on functionality, material research, and construction, ROA and C.P. Company bring together their respective design approaches in pieces built for long-term use.
The collection will be available from 10:00 CET on 12th November 2026 at C.P. Company flagship stores, on cpcompany.com, roa-hiking.com, and at selected retailers.
