Body-mapping seamless sportswear involves just one piece of multiple-knit structure fabric, which provides improved wear comfort by adjusting local body heat exchanges. Each knitted garment in the Den/IM 2.0 collection incorporates different combinations of fibres and knitted structures, to create a unique cross-over concept.
The seamless functional features of Den/IM 2.0 provide superior moisture wicking by incorporating TENCEL in a unique two-layer construction. These high performance yarns provide superior temperature regulation and a perfect microclimate for the skin. Engineering seamless fabric thickness provides padding, allowing greater body protection without sacrificing moisture management or temperature regulation. Body-mapping ensures that the engineered ventilation areas and 3D knitted structures are where they’re most needed in every garment.
Tonello R&D manager Alice Tonello said, “At Tonello, we strongly believe in collaborations, especially when aimed at bringing truly innovative solutions to the markets. Combining our finishing technologies like ECOfree, Laser Blaze and Core, with the high-end products offered by Lenzing, Santoni, and Unitin, we were able to achieve a brand-new product with technical performance and an authentic denim taste.” (GK)
