YOUR SECOND SKIN
Original Carbon Underwear®: is the patented fabric that makes our garments unique; the precise blend of technical fibers and distinctive weaving stitch ideally come together to create a fabric designed to help athletes attain a level of comfort never before experienced during their sports activities.
The blend of materials includes:
- CARBON
- POLYPROPYLEN
- POLYAMIDE
- ELASTAN
THE SECRET LIES IN THE FABRIC
The configuration of the fabric allows sweat to be truly taken away from the skin to the outside.
This means:
- the skin remains dry
- by preventing perspiration from stopping, the formation of bacteria and bad odors are eliminated
- the products dry quickly after washing
Main characteristics
Maximum Breathability
The patented SIXS weave stitch and the polypropylene found in our fabric create a perfect combination: a lower liquid absorption rate and a greater water vapor permeability than other textile fibers.
Sweat wicking index
Constant thermal insulation
Thanks to its blend of textile fibers, the Carbon Underwear® fabric is just like a breathable barrier that keeps the body temperature constant under all weather conditions.
Heat transfer rates
Fast drying
The fabric does not absorb sweat, but rather carries it to the outside so that the skin is left dry. The garments dry quickly aft er being washed.
Liquid absorption rate
Light as a feather
The Carbon Underwear® fabric has the lowest specific weight of all textile fibers on the market.
Textile fibers in g/cm3 - specific weight
Antistatic
Because of its conductivity, the fiber absorbs and disperses electric charges accumulated from the environment or during physical exercise.
Batteriostatic
Because it respects the skin and protects it from bacteria and pollutant dusts: the Carbon Underwear® fabric has properties that eliminate the risk of annoying allergies, reduce the proliferation of bacteria and the procreation of bad smells.
Temperature and intensity
The two main factors that determine the choice of one product over another are the level of physical activity (such as intensity of effort) and the temperature of the environment in which the product will be used.
