For the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina, Team Canada will be representing the country in style as they released their Olympic & Paralympic athlete kit. In partnership with lululemon, the kit features innovative thermoregulation, new adaptive and inclusive features, as well as designs inspired by Canada’s natural environment.
Athletes across the nation have helped guide lululemon through the development process to ensure unique needs are met in every part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Design highlights include:
- Thermoregulation: The kit is engineered with layering and insulation at the core to prepare athletes for the various temperatures and elements they will experience throughout the Games, ranging from city to top of mountain conditions.
- Inclusivity: Driven by feedback from Paralympians, the kit features a wide range of adaptive and inclusive designs, including new adaptive footwear and seated-fit styles, abrasion-resistant fabrics, and features like braille and magnetic zippers.
- Canadian Pride: The kit tells the story of Canada by drawing inspiration from the country’s landscapes and environment, including a topographic map print, bold maple leaf designs, and colours ranging from deep red to iceberg-inspired greens and blues.
- Elevated Styling: Performance tailoring blends with modern silhouettes to create head-to-toe looks inspired by city style, featuring fabrics like Merino Wool, Jacquard, and Translucent Glyde™ that elevate the Olympic & Paralympic uniform.
Athletes, coaches and support staff will wear Team Canada apparel throughout key moments at the Games, including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, medal ceremonies, media appearances, travel and daily life in the Athlete Village.
