Materials:

• Main fabric (Shell 1): Composed of 95% Polyester and 5% Elastane. This combination of synthetic fibers results in a fabric that is not only durable and lightweight but also possesses excellent moisture-wicking properties inherent to polyester, crucial for keeping the skin dry. Elastane, on the other hand, gives the fabric remarkable elasticity, allowing for total freedom of movement. The "grid fleece" fabric (fleece with a grid structure) is designed to optimize the warmth-to-weight ratio and breathability, creating air channels that improve circulation and sweat evaporation without adding excessive bulk.
• Panels or secondary fabric (Shell 2): Made with 91% Recycled Polyester and 9% Elastane. The significant proportion of recycled polyester in this component underscores the brand's commitment to sustainability by reducing reliance on virgin resources and decreasing the environmental footprint associated with material production. This composition also offers excellent elasticity and moisture management properties, likely used in strategic areas of the garment to enhance both dynamic performance and the product's ecological profile.
