Hello, and to those we met at ISPO, it was great to see you! We had a fabulous show and hope you did as well!
We’ve reached our last Exploration of Outdoors theme – Enhanced Naturals!
An enduring love of the great outdoors will see outdoor wear evolve with earth-friendly iterations and natural fibers to match performance synthetics. It’s another great way to amp up the inherent functions natural fibers have by combining synthetic yarns that add warming, antimicrobial, breathability, wicking, and quick-drying benefits.
Our recommended yarn and fabric suggestions for Enhanced Naturals include:
Hyosung Key Yarns:
- aerosilver: antimicrobial, moisture-managing, and quick-drying polyester for long-lasting freshness
- aeroheat: A heat-generating polyester fiber that absorbs light to radiate thermal energy. Provides semi-permanent features of warmth and comfort with lightweight.
- aerolight: recycled lightweight polyester made with post-consumer PET that has excellent moisture absorbing and quick-drying properties due to a C-type hollow core and multi-filament structure.
- regen aerolight:100% recycled lightweight polyester made with post-consumer PET that has excellent moisture absorbing and quick-drying properties due to a C-type hollow core and multi-filament structure.
Fabric Suggestions:
- Brushed jersey
