A new generation of
clothing for technical underwear using SEAMLESS technology
and BODY MAPPING SYSTEM to control the differentiated internal
micro-climate of the different parts of the body during various phases of
physical activity. In cold temperatures, we try to regulate our own body
temperature by vasoconstriction and shivering. In contrast, during intensive
activity, perspiration acts as our most important thermal regulation. In either
case, there is a feeling of discomfort and a loss of energy.
BODY MAPPING SYSTEM BMS is an integrated mix of
varying textile structures and yarns accurately positioned to offer special
benefits such as moisture management, heat management and compression. Given
the shape of the body, during periods of intensive physical activity, any formation
of perspiration will not be uniformly spread. For this reason, the BMS
intervenes by differentiating the structure of the fabric where necessary.
1 - Closely-woven areas
of intensive thermicity with sponge inside.
2 - The front and back
areas of the thorax, including the spinal area, is where most moisture
collects. With the loosely-woven structure, the SWEAT-WINDOWS open
up an immediate escape route for evaporation, working as a decompression valve
and avoiding collection of perspiration, thus accelerating the reduction of
residual moisture in the inner layers.
3 - Retention canals:
given contact with the skin, these create micro-canals where the heated air is
found, reducing the moisture and maintaining the thermal potential.
4 - Open-woven areas of
medium thermicity to accelerate the exchange of air in the shoulder area when
in contact with rucksacks.
5 - Closely-woven areas
of medium thermicity with smooth inside.
6 - Loop for taking out
quadrant or watch with hand-warmer pockets.
7 - Wrist loop for hand
extra warmth.
The CLIMA-CONTROL and BODY
MAPPING SYSTEM intervenes when and where necessary to create a
constant internal micro-climate without over-heating or accumulation of
perspiration, thereby facilitating a longer maintenance of an ideal body temperature
both during exercise or periods of inactivity.
Materials:
Double-structured
fabric with external surface in hygroscopic SKIN-LIFE microfibre,
with bacteriostatic characteristics. Any perspiration is drawn outwards through
the internal face in DRYARN® polypropylene. The absolute
hydrophobicity of the DRYARN® fibre and the higher surface
tension created by the SKIN-LIFE microfibre lead to a rapid
outward transfer of moisture and a constant feeling of dryness and warmth of
the internal face in contact with skin.
In addition DRYARN® is:
– The lightest fibre in
existence: a lightness which results in pleasant comfort, mobility and freedom
of movement.
– Able to offer higher
levels of insulation: the thermal-insulation capacity of DRYARN® is
unique, higher than that of wool, creating a breathable barrier which works as
an insulator from outside and a transport for moisture from inside.
– Anti-odour: DRYARN® hinders
the formation of bad odours caused by the multiplication of bacteria which
settle in the damp areas of clothing.
– Hydrophobic: its
absolute hydrophobicity transfers any moisture outwards, where it evaporates,
thus keeping your body skin dry at all times.
