exactitude
Weightlessness come alive from micro fine hosiery-
inspired knits to micro light trims and accessories. A
pure techno sports trend, where the wearer doesn’t
feel the weight of the garment and/or equipment
accessories, yet the micro light, next-gen fabrics aid
in the achievement.
Cool touch, compression, UV protection and
anti-bacterial elements are key to this theme
which deliver barely ‘there’ fabrics improving
performance. Engineered fabrics that focus on body
mapping specific functions into key areas in the
fabric constriction
provides a
greater sense of
seamlessness and
protection to the
body, where micro-
encapsulated yarns
serve to create a
perfect workout
experience.
