Materials

TENCEL lyocell fibers

Tencel is actually the same substance as lyocell. It is the registered brand name of the Swiss company Lenzing for lyocell. The fiber comes from wood chips from eucalyptus trees. By using chemicals, the wood chips can be converted into a fiber. Tencel feels soft and is strong at the same time. In addition, it dries quickly, is breathable and absorbs moisture well.

Tencel is biodegradable and has an EU Ecolabel. This is a European quality mark which indicates that the material has been produced with a lower environmental impact. The wood used comes from a responsibly managed forest with a PEFC™ and FSC® quality mark. The production itself takes place via a closed system. This means that the water and chemicals required for the production process are almost completely reused.

Polyester

Polyester is a synthetic material made from petroleum. It is a durable, smooth fabric that feels soft. In addition, it is lightweight, does not need to be ironed and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyester is that it does not absorb moisture well and is not very warm.

Technologies

TEXADRI

TEXADRI materials quickly absorb sweat, wick it away from the skin and spread it over a large surface area, effectively accelerating evaporation.

The moisture can therefore be better absorbed and transported and the fabric dries faster, so that as little moisture as possible forms on the skin.

The basis for these incredibly breathable fabrics are materials that store very little moisture through their fibers and quickly release this to the next layer or to the ambient air due to their fiber structure.
