New Zealand-born brand Macpac has been named the official apparel supplier of the NZ Paralympic Team for the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games.
As part of the deal, the technical outdoor apparel and equipment brand will outfit the NZ Paralympic Team, including high-tech insulation, outerwear and rainwear.
This isn’t the first time Macpac has outfitted the Paralympic team, having done so for the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.
“Macpac is a hugely recognisable and highly respected New Zealand brand that strongly aligns with its values of excellence and demonstrates the same performance and resilience as our Para athletes do, in reaching the pinnacle of their sport,” Paralympics NZ CEO Greg Warnecke said.
“We are delighted to partner with Macpac for a second successive Paralympic Winter Games, and our Paralympians and support staff at the Paralympic Winter Games will benefit from Macpac’s quality products, all with a strong connection to home.”
Macpac managing director Cathy Seaholme welcomed the brand’s second successive deal with PNZ.
“PNZ share our spirit of determination under pressure, grit in the face of adversity and an ability to adapt, persist and perform no matter the challenge, values which deeply resonate with Macpac,” Seaholme said.
“It’s a privilege to help them represent Aotearoa New Zealand on the world stage.”
Macpac was founded in 1973 and is now owned by the Australian retail company Super Retail Group, which also owns Rebel, BCF and Supercheap Auto.
Macpac has over 90 stores across Australia and New Zealand.
