The Canadian outfitter unveiled its kit for this summer’s Paris Olympics and Paralympics today in Toronto.

The company says it conducted product testing and feedback sessions with 19 Canadian Olympic and Paralympic athletes across 14 different sports while designing the kit.

The kit includes features like magnetic-close zippers, pull-on loops, and sensory touch guides to support a diverse range of body types and abilities.
