Fabric innovation is at the core of our focus - this Fall '24, we bring you 4 new platform technologies that take new products and mainstay classics to the next level.
1. Lightweight Ripstop
Lightweight Ripstop is crafted with 100% regenerated ECONYL® Nylon thread - a fabric that epitomizes the blend of sustainability and performance. Lightweight Ripstop embodies Italian meticulous engineering that not only ensures an impeccable fit but also shape retention. It also boasts an exceptional UPF 50+ rating, and is both pilling and abrasion resistant. Characterized by its bi-elastic nature, this fabric seamlessly conforms to the body's contours, accentuating movement and comfort. Its lightweight, inherent breathability creates a relaxed and airy aesthetic, ensuring optimal airflow and moisture management. Its quick-drying capabilities optimizes for practicality, while being remarkably lightweight and ultra-thin. Lightweight Ripstop perfectly embodies a delicate balance offering of unparalleled comfort without compromising on performance.
2. Gridlock
Gridlock™ is a light weight, yet compressive fabric. Knitted with a double pique technique, this material allows for enhanced breathability due to the knit structure creating small, waffle-like patterns that allow for better air circulation. Gridlock construction is optimal for moisture management, helping to wick away moisture from the skin and allowing it to evaporate quickly, preventing the dreaded chafe. Reminiscent of a woven ripstop, the grid-like knitted structure lends an element of novelty and texture to the fabric. Additionally, the combination of the double pique construction and inclusion of spandex fibers, supports unrestricted movement and quick shape recovery.
3. Versa Rib
Crafted with a wide rib construction, this textural fabric offers a relaxed aesthetic with a smooth, drapey hand. Engineered from a blend of nylon and spandex, it not only provides a comfortable and stylish fit but also delivers inherent performance capabilities, making it ideal for both post workout or everyday styling. Blended with 87% Nylon / 13% Lycra.
4. MicroGrid
This fabric features a sophisticated 4-way stretch woven design, meticulously crafted to provide exceptional ventilation and breathability. Composed of a refined blend of polyester and spandex, it excels in moisture management by effectively wicking sweat away from the body, ensuring the runner remains cool and dry. The woven construction imparts a subtle structure, delivering a polished yet sporty appearance that effortlessly marries form and function.
