A revolutionary patent for lacing

Quick-Off is a locking system for laces, strings, and straps, born from a new patent that introduces an innovative approach to the world of lacing for footwear and technical apparel.

Designed to be integrated directly into the upper or reinforced technical fabrics, Quick-Off combines simple construction and high functional performance.

How the Quick-Off system works

The accessory looks like an advanced eyelet, characterized by two distinct functional areas:

• a free-passage area, which allows the lace
• an internal locking zone, where the lace is guided and progressively tightened until completely secured.

This mechanism allows for an effective and stable closure, while maintaining simplicity and speed of use.

An alternative to traditional hooks

Quick-Off represents a valid alternative to traditional U-shaped hooks, particularly in the mountain and trekking footwear sector.

Unlike protruding hooks, this system remains flush with the upper, reducing the risk of accidental snagging on external obstacles and improving durability.

Advantages over traditional hooks

• absence of protrusions
• Reduced risk of breakage
• Greater safety in outdoor environments
• More compact and lightweight structure

Strength, lightness, and materials

The Quick-Off system is designed to ensure high resistance and durability even under intensive use. It can be made of various materials, including zamak and steel, or plastic and bioplastic composites.

The various configurations allow the accessory to be adapted to specific production and design needs, always maintaining high mechanical performance.

Ease of application and integration

Quick-Off can be applied like a normal eyelet or integrated with a sewable flange underneath, facilitating assembly on uppers and technical materials.

This versatility allows for seamless integration into the design of the shoe or garment, without compromising its aesthetics or functionality.

Improved lacing performance

The use of Quick-Off improves the Knot hold over time, reducing lace tension at critical points and making the overall closure more stable.

Furthermore, the system speeds up the lacing process, making the gesture more natural and ergonomic, with a tangible improvement in the user experience.

Functional benefits

• Greater knot stability
• Reduction of lace tension
• Faster lacing
• More natural and ergonomic movement

Ideal for technical and sports footwear

Quick-Off is particularly suitable for high-performance sports and technical footwear, where ergonomics, durability, and lightness are key factors.

The system is perfectly suited to trekking and outdoor shoes, and all applications requiring long-lasting reliability and safety during use.
