Technologies

STRETCH
The fabric’s stretch comes from either spandex in the fabric or from the type of knit or weave used for the material. This offers maximum freedom of movement.

ECONYL® Recycling Nylon
This product includes a robust, lightweight and quick-drying polyamide yarn which is produced in an upcycling process from used nylon materials such as fishing nets and certified in accordance with the Global Recycling Standard. The ECONYL® regeneration system — cleaning the oceans and conserving valuable resources.

Recycled materials
This high-performance product includes recycled polyester. Excess materials from polyester production are collected and reintroduced back into the production process. This saves up to 50% in energy and CO2 emissions as well as fossil raw materials without compromising the function of the clothing.
