coldblack® treatment

Revolutional® and coldblack®: protecting your skin has never been so comfortable.

It's a well-known fact that black attracts heat. Those who practice sports outdoors during the summer know it better than most, and rarely chose this colour for their sportswear.

However, light-coloured fabrics, which from experience ensure less heat build-up in the sun, have a largely underrated disadvantage: they let through far more UV rays – which are dangerous to the skin – than dark fabrics, with serious consequences to health.

Dark or light? More attention to comfort or to health?

Thanks to the joint efforts of Carvico S.p.A. and Schoeller Technologies AG, the real revolution means no longer having to choose.

Maximum comfort combines with outstanding skin protection, with no compromises.

The secret is called coldblack®, and it's a sophisticated treatment developed in Schoeller Technologies AG's Swiss laboratories. It enables dark fabrics to "reflect" the sun's rays, so reducing heat absorption, and at the same time helps create a shield against dangerous UV rays, most of which are blocked before they reach the skin.

Applied to the Revolutional® family techno-fabrics, this technology means sportswear with amazing performance can now be created even in black.

Swimming, cycling, running, hiking: athletes and sports enthusiasts of all levels and ages can rely on a genuinely revolutionary ally for their performance and wellbeing, and be sure that they are "mindfully wearing" the result of a truly winning synergy.
