Technologies and manufacturing processes

• Partial compression®

  Compression sportswear improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles, reduces muscle vibrations and helps to speed up recovery. Large-area, mechanical pressure can negatively influence the blood circulation in the tissue. If no sweat remains on the skin, the blood cannot be cooled. This leads to a reduction in the functioning of the body's own cooling system.
  A new benchmark in compression technology.
  Partial Compression® applies targeted pressure on 1 mm-wide ridges. Left and right of the ridge is a compression-free area where compression could have a negative effect on blood circulation to the skin. In this way the blood flow through the veins and capillaries remains unimpended.

• Intercooler

  The thigh muscles are an important cooling zone of the human body. However, the large muscle is prone to cooling down easily, especially under harsh conditions.
  Large-scale welding management.
  This 3D construction collects perspiration on the upper thigh and maintains it directly upon the skin so it can evaporate optimally while directly on this muscle group. Between periods of exertion, the Intercooler's rib technology lies in a wavelike structure on the muscle to provide insulation. The locked-in air protects the muscles from overcooling.

• 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.

• Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®

  The inner thighs are less cold-active in terms of muscle performance.
  Efficient cooling no matter what the conditions
  Air permeability is increased in this area through the Innerlap AirConditioning Zone®, the insulation layer is reduced, so air conditioning is strengthened by air exchange.

• THE TRICK®

  The thermoscan illustrates the local heating of the spine as a result of the insulation elements of THE TRICK®. The thermo camera records the radiation from heat sources. Cool colours mean high insulation, warm colours mean high heat emission. With The Trick®, the developers at X-BIONIC® have found a new, superior way to thermoregulate. The insulation zone along the spine simulates an overheating of the body, which encourages the brain to start cooling and thus sweat production earlier. Result: More energy for your performance.
  Earlier cooling. Better performance.
  To address this issue, X-BIONIC® developed THE TRICK®. A special weave along the spinal column simulates overheating of the body. As a result, the brain triggers sweat production long before overheating can occur. Early sweating permits more effective cooling that sustains energy reserves.

• 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.

• 3D Bionic Sphere® System with ThermoSyphon® Technology

  Depending on the ambient temperature, functional clothing must ensure reliable thermoregulation even when performance is sustained. Only an enlarged evaporation area and efficient sweat management guarantee an optimal skin climate even under load. The idea is to reduce sweat, not to prevent it.
  Unique and extremely effective temperature management.
  The patented ThermoSyphon® structure adds an extra dimension to the special properties of the 3D Bionic Sphere® system: Y-shaped elements support natural thermodynamics and thus improve sweat management.

• 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.

• Sweat Collector

  Functional zones need to be manufactured intelligently and positioned with pinpoint accuracy in order to work precisely.
  Ducts moisture away
  The Air-Conditioning Channel® on the inside of the arm dissipates heat at a controlled rate. The fine knitted structure immediately ducts moisture away.

• Sweat Distributor with Partialkompression®

  For functional clothing to cool effectively, we need to understand the body's own thermoregulation and be able to combine intelligent compression technologies with optimal sweat management.
  More cooling thanks to synergy effects
  The combination of X-BIONIC® Partialkompression® and knit-in ridges collects excess sweat and allows it to evaporate over a broad area to provide extra cooling for heat-intensive muscle areas.

• Sweat Transporter

  Intelligent functional wear does not leave the cooling effect to chance, but controls the sweat management in a way that thermoregulatory effects occur exactly there where they are most urgently needed.
  For the largest possible cooling effect
  Sweat Transporters ensure that sweat can evaporate exactly there, where it can have the largest possible cooling effect on overheated muscles.

• Thorny Devil Technology

  Why shouldn't humans also have the ability to transport moisture across their skin? For example, to move sweat to zones where cooling is particularly necessary? What seems like science fiction has actually been achieved by the developers at X-BIONIC®
  Cools your body like the dickens.
  The Thorny Devil Technology guides sweat directly to heat-intensive muscle areas where it evaporates for an optimal cooling effect. What may at first appear to be like a science fiction movie has now actually been achieved by X-BIONIC®

• Neural Response Bandage

  The neuro-response bandage exerts targeted pressure at the muscle insertion, puts the receptors into action and improves muscle work.
  Apply targeted pressure to your muscles.
