Materials:

• Main fabric: 88% Polyester, 12% Elastane. This blend offers an excellent combination of durability and wrinkle resistance thanks to polyester, along with superior elasticity and shape retention provided by elastane, ensuring freedom of movement and a comfortable fit. This fabric, thanks to Omni-Wick™ technology, is highly breathable and quick-drying.
• Secondary fabric: 86% Nylon, 14% Elastane. Nylon (polyamide) provides remarkable abrasion resistance and durability with a lightweight feel, while elastane complements with great elasticity. This fabric could be used in areas requiring greater robustness or a different type of elasticity, such as panels or the waistband.
