February 05, 2011 - Germany


To better serve the diverse needs of end users, an increasing number of leading sports and outdoor brands are having THERMOCOOL technology in their collections featuring breathable and thermoregulating fabrics to combine fit, functionality and fashion. The products are made with the objective of providing greatest comfort and are providing two specific performances: Evaporative cooling and Thermobuffering.

While designing the autumn / winter collection of running fabrics, one of the leading technical-wear and sportswear producers TAO®-Running considered especially to grant a supreme quality, functionality and the best wearing comfort in order to meet any sportsmen’s requirements during specific sport activities. Their continuous search of newest fashion, high functionality and quality to ensure that products properly match to customer’s expectations, has brought TAO® to work with leading suppliers of technical yarns: hence the newest premium line Zentourion is produced with THERMOCOOL to offer best quality and style as well as highest support. Their objective is to guarantee an optimal thermoregulation to the body, providing thermobuffering or evaporative cooling according to the wearer’s needs:

Evaporative cooling: allows to evaporate moisture faster thanks to the unique fiber mix; the fibers are designed with multi-channel surface that gives outstanding moisture transport and improves air circulation in the THERMOCOOL fabric, focusing on the evaporation process.

Thermobuffering: thanks to the hollow voids, THERMOCOOL protects the user from temperature changes, preventing post exercise chill and allowing excess heat to dissipate into the air.

Through selecting high-quality yarns and the most progressive designs, the well-known name for functional sports fashion - Medico developed its autumn / winter collection with innovative styles and premium functionality for a maximum of comfort, using technically advanced insulation material:THERMOCOOL Performance Insulation; incorporating a technology to prevent condensation within the insulation. It is characterized for its outstanding insulation performance and ability to prevent condensation within the insulation. Medico´s autumn / winter collection will be featuring great colours, retro-elements and exceptional details for a very modern look.

Experienced in fulfilling increasing demands for high-tech products, Runners Point, the important Sports and Outdoor Company, has created their new collection using THERMOCOOL manufactured while using advanced fabrics and technologies, specialized on maximum performance and improved function.
The company is continuing to develop new comfort innovations having the needs of the users in mind. These high-quality fabrics also help to improve the performance of sportsmen with optimal breathability and excellent thermoregulation: the collection of Runners Point is achieving the perfect combination for body temperature regulation.

Socks have the large task of keeping wearer´s feet comfortable at any level. Spending more time outdoors, people are using more and more personal prevention measures and insect repellent when they are in areas where ticks may be present, while looking for an extra comfort. SIMLOC has created a new sock with advanced protection against tick bites; the socks contain an active ingredient with an efficiency of 95% after 40 times washing at 40°C. Furthermore they are produced using the superior technology of THERMOCOOL helping to avoid moisture build-up in demanding conditions; it helps to regulate
temperature and manage moisture to keep feet dry and comfortable.
