An ever evolving development for pioneering technical materials.
+TECH is where we develop our technical materials. We work with riders, trainers and European mills to build fabrics around how riders move, sweat and compete.
+TECH Balance™
Our own jacquard fabric, developed with Penn Textile Solutions in Germany, with the Trolle north star knitted into the material itself. It is finished with a bio-ceramic blend of six minerals that absorbs the heat your body gives off and reflects it back as far-infrared energy.
- Holds body heat. In the finish supplier's tests, +TECH Balance™ retained more body heat than untreated fabric.
- Built to last. The finish is tested by the Taiwan Textile Research Institute to stay effective for 50–100 washes.
Stretch jacquard knit – 87% polyamide, 13% elastane, 200 g/m².
Twins Graphene
The insulation in selected +TECH outerwear is Twins Graphene by Imbotex, Italy – a two-layer padding.
The inner layer, closest to the body, contains graphene fibre, which conducts heat and spreads it evenly, so the jacket stays at a stable temperature as your activity changes. It is bacteriostatic and reduces odour.
The outer layer combines fine GRS-certified recycled polyester from plastic bottles with hollow fibres that trap warm air, keeping the padding light and breathable.
L2 Thermo
L2 Thermo by Imbotex, Italy, is an insulation built to give warmth in thin layers.
Additives in and just below the fibre surface absorb infrared energy – including the energy your body gives off – store the heat and release it slowly. In Imbotex's laboratory test under an infrared lamp, L2 Thermo rose more than 13°C in ten minutes, against less than 3°C for standard polyester.
Light, breathable and moisture-managing. Warmth without bulk.
