EVERGLIDE TM LOW FRICTION SYSTEMS What is it?
What is it? EverGlide enhances wearer comfort simply by minimizing friction between fabric and skin EverGlide enhances fabric resilience, durability and ability to absorb perspiration further improving the COMFORT! EverGlide strongly reduces risk of blisters and reddening of the skin
What is it? Comfort is considered to be one of the key buying motives in consumers athletic apparel purchases
What is it? Comfort is a must for sportswear and first layer garments Moisture management Odor control Thermal control Skin friction Recent studies show an outstanding performance in terms of Skin Friction which is extremely important for the Athletes
EVERGLIDE TM LOW FRICTION SYSTEMS How does it work?
How does it work? Skin Fabric Skin EVERGLIDE Fabric FRICTION ZONE LOW FRICTION ZONE With extensive scientific research in Switzerland, EverGlide was carefully developed to reduce fabric to skin friction. Perspiration saturation in sportswear can result in skin irritation. EverGlide combined with cool comfort moisture management system allows faster drying and enhanced regulation of body temperature
How does it work? Vertical pressure of 5 N In the charts that follows, a skin alternative was used to scientifically compare the performance of treatments typically applied to sportswear Textile material to be tested Lorica soft Skin model Connecting rod for power measurement Polyurethane on PA-Micro fibe natural structure very breathable Friction distance 20 mm Artificial leather Lorica suitable for washing at 40 C
