Artica

Artica

Artica is a technical fabric that is teaseled to guarantee unparalleled thermal insulation. The fabric protects the body from the cold thanks to the use of hundreds of hollow polyester micro-fibres.

Because of its unique composition (57% polyamide, 28% polyester and 15% elastane), Artica allows sweat to evaporate naturally so that the garment dries quickly. Since it always leaves the skin dry, the body’s temperature remains constant and energy consumption is reduced, improving the performance of the athlete.

The reaction of the polyamide and polyester to the process of dyeing with different colouring agents allows for two-toned versions of the fabric.

Anti-pilling, anti-bacterial and anti-odour, Artica is durable and resistant to heavy use and washing.
