Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) is delighted to unveil Macpac as the official apparel supplier of the NZ Paralympic Team for the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games (6-15 March 2026).
The iconic New Zealand-based brand, which specialises in technical outdoor apparel and equipment, will kit out the NZ Paralympic Team, including high tech insulation, outerwear and rainwear.
With the same design philosophy Macpac uses to equip explorers, mountaineers and adventurers, every item has been carefully selected to support the Para athletes’ needs as they aim to perform with pride for New Zealand at Milano Cortina 2026.
Equipping outdoor enthusiasts since 1973, Macpac was also the official apparel supplier for PNZ and the NZ Paralympic Team at the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games.
PNZ CEO Greg Warnecke said: “We are thrilled to announce Macpac as our apparel partner for the NZ Paralympic Team at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games. Macpac is a hugely recognisable and highly respected New Zealand brand that strongly aligns with our value of excellence and demonstrates the same performance and resilience as our Para athletes do, in reaching the pinnacle of their sport”.
“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 said: “We’re incredibly proud to once again support Paralympics New Zealand and the NZ Paralympic Team. 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. It’s a privilege to help them represent Aotearoa New Zealand on the world stage.
