DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN
GREAT PERFORMANCE SINCE 1977
Since 1977 we have been actively involved in the research and development of ventilation and moisture
dispersal properties for different fabrics. The fruit of these efforts is the Craft Principle, our way of providing
functional training and competition wear that ensures the best body microclimate (the temperature and moisture
conditions closest to the body) for optimal performance.
An intensive training session will result in the body producing a considerable amount of sweat.
This is just how it should be and a confirmation that you are pushing your limits. If you are not wearing functional
clothes, the sweat will remain in place and block the pores, causing your body heat to rise.
Eventually the clothes will turn into a damp, cold and heavy ‘envelope’, relentlessly hampering your
performance.
If you are wearing functional clothes, however, the skin will stay dry and you will be able to perform
at an ideal working temperature. Craft’s functional clothes, in up to three layers, create a perfect microclimate
and provide the basis for optimal performance. Each layer is equally important and complements
the rest of the chain.
BASELAYER
Base layer that efficiently transports moisture away from the skin and distributes it on
the outside of the garment, where it either evaporates or is passed on to the next layer.
For optimal performance and comfort, craft baselayer should always be worn underneath
your outer layers, regardless of weather conditions.
MIDLAYER
Craft midlayer provides insulation and warmth while transporting moisture and excess
heat to the next layer or into the surrounding air. When the thermometer creeps downward,
this layer enables you to retain valuable body heat without reducing your freedom of
movement.
PROTECTION LAYER
The third and outermost layer is your shield against the elements and provides comfort
and performance no matter the conditions. Transcending the laws of logic, craft protection
layer protects against rain, wind and cold at the same time as it releases surplus heat and
moisture from the layers underneath.
