Helping construct the best multi-sport apparel for endurance sports enthusiasts, Hyosung, the world’s largest spandex manufacturer, has developed new high-performance creora® ActiFit spandex. Launching at the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in Denver, June 18-20, 2019, creora® ActiFit spandex provides the long-lasting durability, UV and chlorine resistance, and superior recovery required of cycling, swimming, triathlon and adventure racing apparel.
“The last thing an endurance athlete or outdoor enthusiast wants to worry about is if their gear is going to hold up in a race, or even over time,” said Mike Simko, Hyosung Global Marketing Director – Textiles. “Multi-sport apparel made with creora® ActiFit spandex will give athletes the confidence they need to focus on their sport and not be bothered by what they are wearing.”
At Outdoor Retailer, Hyosung will also feature a collection of multi-functional, sustainable fabrics and apparel under its in-house Fashion Design Center’s 2020 Megatrends ‘Connected, beyond’ presentation – Protect the Body and ECO-nomy. Highlighted materials within Protect the Body include MIPAN aqua X® nylon and askin polyester, combining instant and sustained cooling with superior coverage; aerolight lightweight polyester with outstanding wicking; MIPAN aeroheat and aeroheat Extreme heat generating nylon and polyester offering the ultimate in warmth; and creora® Fresh spandex which helps neutralize causes of body odour. Featured materials within ECO-nomy include MIPAN regen® 100% pre-consumer recycled nylon which reduces energy consumption; regen® 100% post-consumer recycled polyester; creora® eco-soft for low heat settable and soft hand elastane; and creora® Black dope dyed black spandex.
