Product news: Craft: The right underwear makes all the difference

7 November 2013 by the editorial office

craft3Functional sports underwear is worn as a first layer directly on the skin. It therefore has a particularly important task: it has to regulate the heat and moisture balance of the skin, regardless of temperature, weather conditions and intensity of exertion. Craft has been developing highly functional underwear for exactly these requirements since 1977 and therefore has a wealth of experience in this area. With the three categories "Stay Cool", "Be Active" and "keep warm" the Swedish brand wants to deliver the optimal underwear for all temperature ranges and every type of sport.

Stay Cool – Even when it gets hot

Regardless of whether the load is particularly strong or not, the body heats up when it is hot and thus reduces its performance. With the category underwear "Stay Cool" Craft has the right products in its range for exactly this requirement. The fabric, made from a fiber with six open channels, is designed to optimally wick moisture away from the skin, creating a ventilation effect for pleasant cooling. With the ergonomic cut, Craft wants to guarantee a perfect fit with freedom of movement at the same time. The "Stay Cool" Products should therefore be ideal for particularly sweaty sports and stress in high heat.

Be Active – For peak physical performance

Craft also supplies the category for medium to cool temperatures (-10°C to +10°C). "Be Active" the right functional underwear. Thicker fibers are used on the inside of the material than on the outside so that excess moisture is wicked away from the skin. This should create an ideal microclimate for very high physical performance. If the sports unit is interrupted by breaks or if the body is directly exposed to the cold after exertion, the products in the category "Be Active Extreme" be the right choice: In addition to moisture transport, the underwear is also characterized by a short drying phase and warm Thermolite hollow fibers on the outside and cooling Hexalchannel fibers on the inside.
