The coming together of two Made in Italy textile centres of excellence, Eurojersey, leader in technical stretch Sensitive Fabrics, and Lanificio Reda, synonymous with technological innovation and sustainability, has given birth to a new lifestyle concept for comfortable and versatile garments that are pleasant to wear, like a second skin, perfect in urban contexts.
The fabric exhibits a functional and contemporary look that blends fashion and performance made with fabric from the Sensitive Fabrics’ range bonded with Reda Active Merino wool. Breathable, thermoregulating and soft touching, it ensures a dynamic fit with the guarantee of optimal comfort at all times of day. A tailored-made style, perfectly balanced between comfort and practicality thanks to its functional and versatile features.
Sensitive Fabrics is a coordinated system of technical stretch fabrics, the result of an innovative technology patented by Eurojersey. The unique structure of nylon with elastomeric fibre provides unrivalled performance. The Reda Active fabric used is a merino wool jersey that stands out for its comfort, softness, elasticity, odour absorption and breathability.
The bonding of the two fabrics gives rise to a new innovative product enhanced by a finishing that ensures greater breathability and quick drying of the material: this is a bio-wicking treatment based on a hydrophilic agent extracted from oil plant seeds.
