Local Production, Carefully Selected Fabric

All our alpine ski bibs are designed, cut, printed, and sewn in our workshop located in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, in the Isère region. The fabric itself is sourced from northern Isère, allowing us to maintain a short supply chain, reduce turnaround times, ensure traceability, and lower our environmental impact. This fabric is chosen for its technical properties: it’s flexible, resistant to cold, abrasion, moisture, and extreme weather conditions. It also ensures good support, lasting comfort during activity, and excellent durability. Each batch is subjected to rigorous quality control before entering production, ensuring perfect consistency and optimal strength.

Our close relationship with local suppliers and in-house production allows us to maintain continuous quality control, production flexibility, and rapid responsiveness. This also ensures reliability for our clients, who know they can count on an accessible and committed team. Local production gives us full control over the manufacturing chain, from fabric reception to shipment, and enables us to quickly respond to changes or urgent needs.

A Model Designed for Performance and Field Requirements

The alpine bib is specifically designed for alpine ski competitions, where performance and precision go hand in hand. Its slim-fit cut, inspired by FIS-approved models, provides a snug fit that reduces drag, avoids wind resistance, and improves a skier’s aerodynamics. It typically features a tight collar, broad shoulders, and reinforced stitching. The opening is designed to be easy to slip over a ski suit.

This model was developed through close collaboration with clubs, ski schools, and competition organizers, with the goal of fully meeting the needs of real-world use. It has been tested in actual events, exposed to harsh weather, intense movement, and multiple machine washes. The fabric has excellent elasticity, retains its shape over time, and maintains its quality even after numerous washes. Colors remain vibrant, and the cut can be adapted as needed (longer in the back, wider neckline, etc.).

Full Customization and Graphic Support

What sets Ultime Sport apart is our fully tailor-made customization service. Every bib we make is entirely customizable — from colors, visuals, fonts, sponsors, logos, numbering, dimensions to finishes — all tailored to match your brand identity.

Our in-house graphic designers support you throughout the entire process. From the first interaction, you can share your ideas, branding guidelines, and expectations. Based on that, we create a digital proof (BAT) for your validation. This takes into account both fabric ergonomics and your desired visual impact. If needed, we can provide several iterations. Our team also advises on typography, logo hierarchy, and ideal placements for numbers and text depending on the cut selected.

We go beyond aesthetics — we help you choose bib shapes, materials, stitching types (double stitching, reinforcements, elastic seams…), and even advise based on wearability needs (thick suits, children, etc.). This collaborative approach allows us to deliver a truly adapted product.

A Fully Controlled In-House Manufacturing Process

At Ultime Sport, the entire production process is centralized in our workshop. Each bib follows a structured and controlled production path:

• Client BAT validation
• Digital printing of visuals on sublimation transfer paper
• Heat sublimation of the visuals onto fabric
• Precision laser cutting for consistent clean edges
• Assembly and sewing by our experienced seamstresses
• Individual quality check and careful packing before shipping

This short and fully integrated production chain allows us to guarantee consistent quality, reliable delivery times, and flexibility in case of restocks or last-minute changes. Each step is designed to provide the best balance of technical features, durability, and visual appeal.

A Long-Lasting and Durable Bib

Our alpine ski bibs are designed to endure intensive use. They are washable, resistant to abrasion, repeated wash cycles, and tough winter conditions including snow, rain, wind, and extreme cold. Reinforced stitching ensures excellent durability season after season. Sublimation printing ensures long-lasting color vibrancy — the visuals won’t crack, fade, or peel, even over time.

This longevity makes the bibs an economical and sustainable option for clubs or event organizers who wish to reuse their gear over multiple seasons. It also allows them to offer participants a product that maintains its aesthetic and functional quality, event after event.

The Ideal Choice for Clubs and Competitions

The alpine model is perfectly suited to ski clubs, ski schools (ESF, ESI, etc.), and both amateur and professional sporting events. Whether for national competitions, youth races, or seasonal events, this bib adapts to all contexts.

Ultime Sport already collaborates with numerous clubs and ski resorts in France and abroad, recognized for product quality, team responsiveness, and adaptability. Our clients enjoy direct communication with the workshop, fostering a genuine, long-term relationship built on trust.
