Technology

  • 1. Multi-density / multi-layer padding

    • Use: mainly in cycling clothing (shorts, shorts).
    • Description: The inserts have different densities depending on the pressure zones, which reduces abrasion and fatigue during long journeys.
    • Fun fact: This technology comes from biomechanics research and was initially used in clothing for professional athletes.

  • 2. 4-way stretch materials

    • Application: cycling, running, triathlon clothing.
    • Description: The material stretches in four directions, which ensures full freedom of movement, fit and comfort during intense exercise.
    • Interesting fact: Thanks to the four-way stretching, you can achieve a "second skin" effect, and the clothing returns to its original shape even after repeated washing.

  • 3. Breathable membranes (GORE-TEX, eVent, Dermizax)

    • Use: mountain and outdoor clothing.
    • Description: The membranes are waterproof and at the same time permeable to water vapor, which protects against external moisture and allows sweat to escape.
    • Interesting fact: GORE-TEX membranes have a micropore structure 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times larger than a water vapor molecule.

  • 4. Ventilation systems (laser-cut / mesh panels)

    • Use: cycling, running and triathlon clothing.
    • Description: Laser-cut panels or mesh inserts in strategic places improve airflow and moisture wicking.
    • Interesting fact: Laser cutting allows for precise holes of various shapes, which at the same time maintain the strength of the material.

  • 5. HEX GRIP silicone trims

    • Application: cycling shorts, jerseys, sleeves.
    • Description: Silicone strips on the legs or sleeves keep the garment in place, preventing it from shifting during movement.
    • Fun fact: Some silicone patterns have a hexagonal (HEX) structure, which increases grip while reducing weight and pressure on the skin.

  • 6. Compression materials

    • Application: cycling, running, triathlon, fitness clothing.
    • Description: Compression materials support blood circulation and reduce muscle fatigue during exercise.
    • Fun fact: Compression can improve recovery for up to several hours after intense training.

  • 7. PFC-free / hydrophobic materials

    • Application: jackets, softshells, mountain clothing.
    • Description: Impregnation without harmful perfluorinated chemicals that repels water and dirt.
    • Fun fact: Many modern outdoor brands are switching to PFC-free, caring for the environment and the health of users.

  • 8. Moisture wicking systems (moisture wicking / quick dry)

    • Application: T-shirts, thermal underwear, socks.
    • Description: The material quickly transports sweat from the skin to the surface where it evaporates, keeping you dry and comfortable.
    • Fun fact: Some fabrics can wick moisture away up to 10 times faster than regular cotton.

  • 9. Thermoactive fibers (Merino, Polartec, Thermolite)

    • Application: mountain, running, cycling clothing.
    • Description: Natural or synthetic fibers regulate body temperature and insulate against the cold while wicking away moisture.
    • Fun fact: Merino wool is naturally antibacterial and does not absorb odors, making it ideal for multi-day trips.

  • 10. Laser cutting and gluing of seams (seamless / welded)

    • Application: cycling jerseys, triathlon jerseys, compression clothing.
    • Description: There are fewer seams, they are flat or welded, which minimizes chafing and improves aerodynamics.
    • Interesting fact: Welding technology allows you to create geometric ventilation and decorative patterns without additional material.
