FABRIC INFORMATION
Aerostat™
A new fabric from Giordana for summer 2007, Aerostat™ is a quick-drying mesh material that allows for maximum breathability. Aerostat is utilized in the men’s Race-Tech™ line as well as for the women’s Fusion garments.
Activa Plus GTB™
A multilayer fabric that is windproof, waterproof and breathable. The Meryl Actisystem outer layer has a special titanium treatment to filter out UV rays. The intermediate layer is a Windtex membrane, windproof, waterproof, lightweight, elastic and breathable. Inside a pile lining of insulating polyester with a unique modular structure. Activa plus GTB has a high thermal capacity while retaining the advantages of being lightweight and fast drying.
Chrono
A Nylon/Lyrca fabric found in bibs and shorts on the sides and lower legs where support is needed most. Chrono has less stretch and a higher compression rate to increase support and blood supply to working muscles.
Dri-Release™
A microblend performance fabric with unparalleled moisture transferring qualities that direct perspiration away from the skin quickly. Dri-Release™ dries four times faster than cotton, but retains a soft feel for comfort. So durable that garments made with Dri-release resist pilling and won’t shrink or lose their shape. Treated with Freshguard® odour control to neutralize odour safely and keep you fresh. Used in base layers.
HC44
A lightweight nylon and Lycra made with extremely fine thread used in Forma™ bib shorts and knickers. HC refers to the fabric’s high compression rate, while 44 designates the number of threads per centimetre in the knitting process. Until now the highest thread count for nylon/Lycra materials was 36 TPC. This ultra compact knit translates into performance and comfort advantages in garments made with HC44. It is lighter (180 gm), yet offers the performance enhancing higher compression rates previously found only in heavier fabrics. With its high TPC count the material is softer and more supple than other nylon/Lycra fabrics. HC44’s light weight also increases its wicking capability
.
Hercules
A circular knit nylon and Lycra fabric used for shorts and bib shorts within the Tenax™ collection. Hercules is a strong 210 grams and is a certified Lycra power fabric. Giordana garments using Hercules are cut and sewn with the high power of Hercules positioned perpendicular to muscle groups. This provides optimum muscle compression, which maximizes the performance enhancing effects of Lycra power garments.
In-Vent
In-Vent combines excellent resistance to wind with very lightweight material. Its microfilament yarns keep wind and water out, while remaining permeable to perspiration.
Island™
A lightweight micro-fiber fabric finished with a special polyurethane treatment, making it highly resistant to wind and rain. At the same time millions of micro-pores provide a means for perspiration vapors to escape.
MCK™
Michron Carbon Knit is Giordana’s newest material for use in technical jerseys. It is knit with a special micro-fiber yarn composed of a continuous filament of conductive material with an active carbon and polyester base. MCK™ has numerous beneficial characteristics. First and foremost is an anti-static, dissipative effect that protects against electrical interference. At times the human body scarcely feels the effects of these natural phenomena, while at other times it is obvious. Both electrostatic discharge (ESD) and discharge from electric over stress (EOS) have considerable effect on wellbeing. In fact, electrical charges that settle on the body cause numerous complications that may be magnified during exercise, such as overheating, negative reactions on muscle contraction and inhibition of blood flow. Due to its excellent anti-static properties MCK improves electrical efficiency, enhancing circulation and improved oxygen supply to muscle cells. Its superior conductivity increases the evaporation rate, which speeds the process of moving moisture away from the skin enhancing the sensation of wellbeing. The benefits of MCK are engineered into the yarn of the fabric prior to knitting, not added as a treatment.
Michron
The latest in fiber and knitting technologies have yielded Giordana’s best performance jersey fabric ever. 100% polyester micro fiber yarns move moisture off the skin more rapidly than ever before. The unique miniature honeycomb textured knit allows airflow to keep you cool. Michron is a performance fabric breakthrough.
Mini-Quadro
Used in jerseys, Mini-Quadro is a 100% polyester fabric that is knit such that moisture is pulled through the garment from the inside out. Soft to the touch, Mini-Quadro is lightweight and provides exceptional ventilation.
Aenergia
A lightweight hollow micro-fiber material utilized for jerseys and shorts within the TenaxTM collection. The unique honeycomb structure, which incorporates nylon and Dupont Lycra, enables Aenergia to stretch equally in all directions, not just the two or four way stretch of standard spandex materials. Its high stretch and compression rates also produce a micro-massaging effect on the skin, delaying muscle fatigue. Due to its high opacity, Aenergia effectively protects against UVA and UVB rays. Its high moisture moving capability further augments the comfort that Aenergia garments provide. An antibacterial treatment inhibits the growth of odour causing bacteria.
Aenergia Sanded
Aenergia Sanded is a heavier version of Aenergia. It retains all the benefits of Aenergia with the increased durability that winter garments require.
Moxie
Moxie fabric is treated to promote fast wicking and evaporation of moisture. This treatment means that perspiration will not be trapped next to the skin, so riders will feel cooler and drier. Moxie nylon/spandex fabric is offered in 200gm weight, and is used in RaceTech™ bibs and shorts. Fits like a nylon/spandex blend.
Nandrolone™
This breathable micro-fiber material is wind and water-resistant. Due to its unique structure these characteristics are permanent, as they are actually built into the fabric. Extremely lightweight and compact, it keeps the elements at bay.
Roubaix™
Roubaix™ is made with a special interlocking knit that fits like nylon/spandex, but is thicker. It is brushed on the inside surface to create air pockets that retain body warmth. It is ideal for tights and warmers where warmth and freedom of movement are critical.
Super Roubaix™
A micro-fiber version of our Roubaix™ material, Super Roubaix™ moves moisture more efficiently and has better breathability. Garments made with Super Roubaix have slightly higher compression effects, which provide a massaging effect on muscles.
Supplex™
From DuPont, this nylon and Lycra-spandex blend combines cottony-soft comfort with the gentle support, superb fit and freedom of movement that only spandex can provide. It is a practical fusion of softness and stretch.
Techno
Techno brings advanced micro-fiber moisture transportation to winter jerseys. Perspiration is rapidly moved away from the skin as vapor ensuring riders feel warm and dry.
TVX3
A new material specifically designed for cycling jerseys. Its name derives from the fact that it’s the third generation of TVX and that it has three distinct beneficial qualities. New TVX-3 has moisture-moving capability that is now enhanced via micro-ducts on the surface of the fiber. This increases the rate of transfer to the outer layer of the jersey where moisture can evaporate quickly, keeping the wearer dryer. TVX-3 also has a permanent antibacterial treatment that retards the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria, thus extending the life of garments. The third component of new TVX-3 is that has been redesigned to offer more protection from harmful ultraviolet rays.
