Features:

• Omni-Wick™ Technology: An advanced moisture-wicking system that disperses moisture from the body to the fabric's surface for rapid evaporation, keeping the user dry and comfortable, even during intense physical activity. This feature accelerates evaporation, providing a prolonged feeling of freshness and preventing post-activity chill.

• Stretch and breathable fabric: The material composition offers excellent elasticity for total freedom of movement and allows air circulation, contributing to comfort and performance in various activities.
• Slim Fit: Designed to adapt to the body's contours, allowing for total freedom of movement and a streamlined silhouette, ideal for dynamic activities.

Materials:

• Recycled Polyester (75%): This main material is obtained from recycled sources, reducing dependence on virgin resources and contributing to environmental sustainability. Polyester is known for its durability, resistance to wrinkles and shrinkage, as well as its excellent quick-drying and moisture management properties, which complement Omni-Wick™ technology. Its inclusion at 75% ensures a robust, lightweight, and efficient base for the garment.
• Elastane (25%): This component provides exceptional elasticity to the garment, allowing for great freedom of movement and a snug fit that adapts to the body without restricting it. This high proportion of elastane (25%) ensures excellent fabric shape recovery, keeping the legging in place during intense activity and preventing it from deforming with continued use and washing, thus ensuring greater durability of the fit.
