VARDENA is an Italian brand, which since 1980 has its factory in the city of Varese, a town situated in the North of Italy.  It is recognized as the "Land of Champions", thanks to its beyond 100 Years of cycling history, and the territory where the luxury textile, aviation, precision mechanics and most sophisticated cycling industry are located. This is also where the new technology of VARDENA Carbon Fiber Cycling Wear is engineered and manufactured.

The origins of this Italian brand come from the bond between the name of its mother city and the Ardena mountain, marking the border of Italy and Switzerland, an arduous training ground for some of the strongest cyclists. This is where Federico Simone, VARDENA’s founder, also a professional cyclist, was able to conceive the idea of a new generation of cycling uniform technology, delivering a new level of performance and capable of reducing muscle fatigue when worn.

VARDENA's mission is to design and manufacture the most aerodynamic, best performing cycling uniforms in the world. To do this, its founder has built an all-Italian team of experts in Engineering, Fluid Dynamics and Composite Materials, in order to provide cyclists the revolutionary garments that deliver exceptional performance, with the upmost comfort while on the saddle.

VARDENA’s founder studied Mechanical Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Milan and thoroughly studied Engineering, Aerodynamics, Heat- Transfer and Design. This led to the identification of Carbon Fiber as the optimal solution for obtaining the desired performance, as well as the solution feasible from the technology utilized in the Aerospace industry.
