X-Bionic Twyce 4.0 Cycling Bib Shorts Women

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.

• Comfort4000FX Bike Pad

  The Comfort4000 FX bike pad is anatomically shaped and perfectly adapts to the female anatomy. In this way, pressure-sensitive blood vessels and nerves are relieved. The pad is not simply sewn on, as is the case with conventional cycling shorts. X-BIONIC® cuts out the seat pad during the production of the shorts and then sews it in by hand, so that the fit and elasticity of the pad is not affected by the fabric of the shorts. This guarantees fit and comfort never experienced before.
  Leave the suffering to your opponents.
  The Comfort4000 FX Bike Pad is anatomically formed and fits the female anatomy perfectly. With it, pressure is removed from sensitive capillaries and nerves.

• 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.

• 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.

• Twyce® Cool Zone

  "If we could double the sweat evaporation zone, we would also have more cooling." Dr. René Rossi, EMPA scientist
  Double Cooling. Better Performance. TWYCE® Cool Zone with Y-Structure
  The X-BIONIC® TWYCE® innovation: the Y-Structure created from hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres generates a "push-pull effect", which helps to transport sweat more quickly from the ThermoSyphon® Technology, and to distribute it where it can evaporate with maximum cooling effect.

• Two-Step Front 3D Bionic Sphere® System

  An excess of sweat, which is not transported away by the functional underwear but accumulates unpleasantly on the skin, leads to irritation and limits the well-being, which is essential for optimal performance.
  Scientific solutions ensure at any time the optimal body temperature.
  The high-tech knitting technology ensures optimal support and climate comfort in the shorts. The varied ribbing and surface construction are able to solve the conflict between providing support whilst transporting moisture and heat.
