Technologies and manufacturing processes

• 3D Bionic Sphere® System

  The body sweats during activities. The natural cooling system keeps the body at an ideal 37°C by means of sweat. Traditional thermal underwear draws the cooling sweat away from the skin. This tempts the body to produce even more sweat. Valuable fluids, minerals and salts are lost without efficient cooling. This reduces performance.
  Cools when you sweat. Warms when you're cold.
  The award-winning 3D Bionic Sphere® System stops unpleasant moisture, the feeling of overheating during rigorous activity and prevents cooling during rest and recovery phases.

• Sweat Traps®

  Of the up to three million sweat glands on our skin, up to 300 per square centimetre are located within the armpit. Everyone knows what happens here during a run. Already when warming up the muscles, the sweat begins to trickle.
  Catches wetness before it becomes palpable.
  Large dimensioned sweat traps, ergonomically positioned based on laboratory tests, prevent the moisture from dripping and provide active cooling.

• AirConditioningSpot

  Since the back of the knees sweat quickly and heavily, a fine, round mesh fabric is incorporated there. With the help of body heat, excess sweat is pressed outwards, where it evaporates without the risk of cooling down.
  Cools the knee without the risk of cooling.
  The AirConditioningSpot cools without chilling.

• ISO pads

  11 channels each form the ISO pads at the hips and even extend over the waistband. Large areas of the organs are thus protected from the cold. In winter, it is possible to protect the body from freezing by specifically insulating individual body parts from ambient cold. Thus the ISO pads over the hip bones and also the finer ISO pads on the buttocks keep the warmth on the body, which is necessary to guarantee the internal organ functions. At regular intervals, the ribs of the ISO pads drape over the shoulders, keeping warmth on the body and protecting against chilling. This is where a lot of heat is lost with conventional jackets, because the weight of the jacket or backpack compresses the insulation material so that it loses its effect.
  More insulation area
  ISO pads enable targeted insulation of individual body parts from a cold environment. By retaining body heat that is necessary to guarantee interior organ functions the temperature-regulating zones prevent the cooling down of the whole body.

• Air Guides®

  Outerwear can lie heavily on the body and hinder the thermoregulation through functional underwear. In order to maintain the ventilation function, it is necessary to keep a distance between the functional and outer garments.
  Work like spacers and side stops along the Air-Conditioning Channels®.

• Air-Conditioning Channel® with ZERO-Insulation

  The production of high-quality functional underwear requires exact knowledge of the body and its temperature-determining key zones.
  
  The ZERO-insulation zones are placed in body areas which are key to temperature regulation and function like valves as a part of the AirConditioning Channels®.

• Active-Bund®

  No clothing is more disturbing than the one that constantly slips, cuts in and hinders freedom of movement. This has to be prevented.
  Highly adaptable for perfect fit
  The highly elastic Aktiv-Bund provides a secure fit and support without constricting or impeding movement.

• Fitting Ribs

  Over 200 bones and more than 600 muscles keep people moving. Sporting activity places the highest demands on movement sequences and functional clothing has the task of supporting its dynamics through an adaptive fit.
  
  Adaptable zones for a better fit during sport activity.

• IDEO-Waistband

  During continuous movement, slipping functional underwear can lead to annoying friction. Only outstanding material and an optimal fit guarantee a performance-enhancing sense of well-being.
  Ideally designed, ergonomically optimized.
  The ideally designed, ergonomically optimised waistband, with higher cut in the back, keeps the garment in place even during constant movements.

• MicroDiffuser

  While sweating, a temperature and humidity gradient develops between the skin-facing side of a textile and its outside. The tendency of humid, warm air to escape from the inside and penetrate to the cool, dry outside is called diffusion. High-quality functional underwear is designed to support this process and thus optimise thermoregulation.
  
  With MicroDiffuser precise ducts are in use to let the moist, hot air escape.

• ProPrio Padding

  Proprioreceptors belong to the group of mechanoreceptors and serve the perception of space and the orientation of one's own body during the mechanical load of movement. Targeted support of the proprioreceptors leads to a increase in performance accordingly.
  Improve neuromuscular reaction time
  ProPrio Padding actively ensures the balance and stability of your entire body.

• Wallaby structure

  In many cases, the development of highly effective technologies is based on precise observation of nature. The behaviour of the wallaby is the perfect model for efficient cooling: Due to the frequent licking of the paws, it provides evaporation cooling at hot ambient temperatures. This way it cools its blood and thus its entire body. Intelligent functional clothing should be able to take advantage of this characteristic.
  
  Guarantees effective cooling. The highly powerful evaporative cooling at the wrist is achieved by means of a material surface that is four times larger. Passing venous blood is cooled thereby effectively supporting the performance-enhancing thermoregulation.
