CARBON ENERGIZED FIBER (CEF)
GARMENTS MADE WITH THIS EXCLUSIVE FABRIC ARE LIGHTWEIGHT, INSULATED, BREATHABLE, BECOMING THE BEST ALLY FOR AN ATHLETE'S SPORTS PERFORMANCE AND MORE.
CARBON ENERGIZED FIBER ALLOWS THE LIQUIDS GENERATED BY SWEATING TO BE EXPELLED OUTSIDE THE FABRIC, PROMOTING BREATHABILITY AND REDUCING MOISTURE ON THE SKIN.
CARBON ENERGIZED FIBER ACTS ON THE BODY AND STABILIZES BODY TEMPERATURE, REDUCING THE FEELING OF HEAT AND FATIGUE.
WHEN THE ATHLETE'S BODY TEMPERATURE INCREASES DUE TO EXERCISE OR DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, THE ROOTS OF THE TISSUE MOLECULES OPEN, PROMOTING TRANSPIRATION AND FAVOURING THE MIGRATION OF LIQUIDS TO THE OUTSIDE.
CONTRARY, WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROP, THE ROOT CLOSES, PRESERVING A THIN LAYER OF AIR BETWEEN THE SKIN AND THE TISSUE THAT HELPS KEEP BODY TEMPERATURE STABLE.
LABORATORY TESTS AND TESTS WITH ATHLETES HAVE PROVEN THAT CARBON ENERGIZED FIBER GARMENTS INCREASE TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE.
DRYARN®
THE CARBON ENERGIZED FIBER CEF IS COMBINED WITH DRYARN® CREATES THE BEST COMBINATION OF HIGHLY INNOVATIVE AND HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIBERS, ALLOWING SUPERIOR SPORTS PERFORMANCE.
A FABRIC MORE BREATHABLE THAN POLYESTER, MORE INSULATED THAN WOOL, AND LIGHTER THAN ANY OTHER FIBER. DRYARN®, A LIGHTNESS THAT GIVES WEIGHT TO WELL-BEING.
A GARMENT MADE OF DRYARN® WEIGHS 32% LESS THAN A WOOL EQUIVALENT AND 34% LESS THAN POLYESTER.
DURING SPORTS ACTIVITY DRYARN® HELPS MANAGE THE FLOW OF VAPOR FROM PERSPIRATION IN SUCH A WAY AS TO NOT UNBALANCE THE THERMOREGULATION SYSTEM AND KEEP THE SKIN DRY.
ECO-SUSTAINABILITY FOR A BETTER WORLD
OUR DRYARN® AND PROLEN® FIBERS ARE ECO-FRIENDLY FOR A BETTER WORLD. THE UNDER SHIELD® FAMILY HAS DECIDED TO TAKE AN ECO-FRIENDLY PATH BY CAREFULLY CHOOSING ITS FIBERS AND THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION CYCLE, REDUCING ENERGY USE IN PRODUCTION TO A MINIMUM. WE CARE ABOUT OUR ENVIRONMENT, WHICH IS WHY WE BEHAVE AND PRODUCE OUR UNDERWEAR WITH THE MAXIMUM RESPECT FOR NATURE IN ORDER TO PRESERVE IT IN THE WAY WE HAVE INHERITED IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. PROLEN®YARN, DRYARN®, AND THEIR PRODUCTS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT (WATER, AIR, OR SOIL). ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER IS USED IN THE PRODUCTION OF OUR UNDERWEAR (UNLIKE COTTON, UP TO 11 LITERS OF WATER IS REQUIRED TO PRODUCE 1 KG). WE USE LOWER TEMPERATURES, MEANING LESS ENERGY (UP TO 45%). NO PESTICIDES OR TOXIC DYES ARE USED IN OUR GARMENTS.
OEKO TEX® STANDARD 100 CERTIFIED GARMENT
STANDARD 100 BY OEKO-TEX® IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST WELL-KNOWN LABELS FOR TEXTILES TESTED FOR HARMFUL SUBSTANCES.
