exceptional performance brings three main benefits. - Any excessive heat build-up is suppressed, and
ventilation continues even when the garment is wet.
- Shivering is avoided because the inner face prevents any feelings of coldness against
the skin.
- Complete freedom of movement is assured because the garment does not cling to the skin.
Result: a high degree of comfort is guaranteed
Suitable for the most active
sports.
If there is one area of life which requires
garments that allow the body to breathe and move freely its the area of sports. Setila
Comforto has strongly established its credentials in the world of sport over a wide range
of sporting activities.
Double-faced knitted garments with an inner face of synthetic fibres and an outer face of
cotton have for several years proved suitable for sports such as tennis, hiking, golf and
jogging.
However double-faced garments in 100% polyester, have an exceptional ability to transmit
perspiration away from the body and are often used in strenuous sports where players sweat
heavily, such as football and cycling.
Tried and tested.
The development of Setila Comforto fabrics has
been accompanied by a high level of testing. This allows for the high performance
characteristics of these fabrics to be demonstrated scientifically.
The performance of Setila Comforto during sporting activity has been measured by both
sports institutes and by universities.
A study of cotton garments and of garments made from synthetic fibres, carried out with
the aid of a thermo-camera, has effectively demonstrated that garments made in Setila
Comforto do not limit the natural heat regulation of the body as cotton garments can.
Underwear with a high
comfort factor.
Setila Comforto fabrics have a natural
appearance and a soft handle which makes them pleasant to wear. They are therefore ideal
for use in underwear garments. Underwear made in Setila Comforto allows the body to
breathe thereby providing the wearer with a high degree of comfort.
The above photographs show a
sportsman back after a 60 minute stress test.
1 - Cotton jersey. Cotton
swells to absorbs moisture and hence blocks the escape of the heat. This results in heat
accumulating and the body's temperature increases (the dark green regions show areas of
low heat emission).
2 - Setila Comforto in Jersey. The permanent transmission of heat achieved
by Setila Comforto can be very clearly observed (the dark red areas indicate a strong heat
emission due to a better evaporation of the sweat).
