WASHING 60°Machine washable up to 60° (industrial washing). Care instructions apply to textiles only. If any printing or embroidery, pls follow the recommendations of the professional screen printer or embroiderer.
WASHING 85°Machine washable up to 85° (industrial washing). Care instructions apply to textiles only. If any printing or embroidery, pls follow the recommendations of the professional screen printer or embroiderer.
ENZIME WASHEnzyme washing is a special bio-polishing treatment to make the fabrics clean, smooth, without imperfections giving a soft touch and a perfect printing finish.
LSF(Low Shrinkage Fleece) : High quality 80% combed cotton / 20% polyester fleece with low shrinkage. The inner and outer faces of the fabric contain a continuous filament that offers excellent resistance to washing. The outer face is perfect for printing, while the inner face is extremely comfortable.
LST(Low Shrinkage Terry) High-quality French terry treated to significantly reduce shrinkage, allow perfect printing and excellent comfort.
LSI(Low Shrinkage Interlock) High-quality interlock treated to significantly reduce shrinkage, allow perfect printing and provide excellent comfort.
PST(Perfect Sweat Technology) A blend of 80% ring-spun combed cotton and 20% polyester. Low shrinkage fleece. Brushed inner.
ANTIBACTERIALAntibacterial treatment. Antibacterial properties that reduce unpleasant odours and bacteria. Maintains hygiene and freshness thanks to silver ion transfer. Resistant to washing at 60° and dry cleaning. Reduces washing cycles and therefore energy consumption, resulting in more durable clothes.
PEACH SKINThe fabric has been treated to lengthen the fibres and make it velvety to the touch
EASY-IRONEasy-iron products. To retain the properties obtained by the direct treatment of the fabric, garments should not be washed or ironed at high temperatures.
NON-IRONShirts that do not require ironing. Easy maintenance and crease resistance obtained by direct treatment of the fabric. Wash your shirts, dry them then wear them!
BLEACH RESISTANTBleach resistant fabric.
BREATHABLEBreathable garment or fabric. The permeability indicated corresponds to the water vapour in grams that can evaporate from a surface of one square metre in 24 hours. The higher this figure, the more breathable the fabric.
UVFabric protects against UV rays in accordance with EN 13758-2 and with a UV protection upper than 40 (UPF40+).
WATERPROOFWaterproof garment or fabric. The figure shown corresponds to the fabric’s ability to withstand water pressure without allowing moisture to penetrate. The minimum standard is 1500 mm/m2.
WATER REPELLENTWaterproof water repellent.

DUPONT™ - SORONA®
Fiber made from raw materials of plant origin, whose production is energy efficient and has low greenhouse gas emissions.
THINSULATE®A synthetic fiber with thermal insulation properties.
COOLMAX®Ultra-breathable and very light fabric, ideal for all types of training. This technology identifies areas of heat and perspiration, providing optimum temperature and perspiration regulation through air circulation.
COOLPLUS®Ideal for athletes! The fibre is cut in a special way to offer excellent breathability and the rapid evaporation of surface moisture. The garment does not stick to the skin, thus allowing longer exertion.
COTON SUPIMA®Cotton, whose fibers are more long, soft and hard-wearing than other cotton fibers. Supima® is a registered trademark and a quality guarantee for fabric made with american Pima cotton.
LYCRA®LYCRA® clothing is high in elasticity, allowing it to return to its original shape after stretching. This fabric also dries quickly.
TOPCOOL®Thanks to their special surface, TopCool® polyester fibres absorb moisture perfectly and wick it quickly outward, where it can evaporate. The skin remains pleasantly dry and the body maintains a constant temperature.
CORDURA®Polyamide that is ultra-resistant to abrasion.

#3 LAYERS SOFTSHELL
Fabric combining inner, mid and shell layers to provide various features like stretch ability, water resistance, wind breaking ability and insulation.
AANTI-PILLINGA finish that prevents fibres from separating and forming pills on the surface of a fabric. Used on fleeces to make them more resistant to washing.
BBACKINGThe application of a plastic film (PVC, Polyurethane [PU], acrylic, etc.) on the surface of the fabric to make it more waterproof.
BREATHABLE MEMBRANEA film that make fabric waterproof while allowing water vapour (perspiration) to pass through. Examples: Goretex®, Thinsulate®, etc.
EELASTANE / SPANDEX (USA)A generic term for yarns with superior elasticity and resistance to stretching. They allow clothing to better follow the movements of the body and maintain their original form and size for longer. Contributing to better freedom of movement, they are also hard-wearing, comfortable and crease resistant.
FFRENCH TERRYFleece sweatshirt not brushed. Loop appearance on the inside and smooth outer surface. Light and fluid fit for a current look.
IINTERLOCKRefers to a double-sided knit fabric: one side jersey, the other in 1/1 rib. Thicker and heavier than jersey, it can be stretched across its width.
LLYOCELLAn artificial cellulose fiber that offers increased resistance and provides a soft surface that feels like peach skin to the touch. Example: Tencel® (made from the cellulose found in wood pulp).
MMICRO TWILLUltra-fine weave made of thin and flexible yarns that brings style to the material and movement to the garment.
MICROFIBERClothing made from microfibers to obtain a silky appearance, softness, comfort and breathability.
OOXFORDApparently dotted fabric composed of small square motifs. Obtained using coloured yarns / different materials.
PPOLYAMIDEA synthetic material made from resistant, flexible and relatively elastic yarns, easy-care.
POLYESTERResistant, synthetic yarn, flexible, crease resistant, easy-care.
POLYURETHANEWoven fabric covered with one or more layers of polymer. Product made from elastane yarns.
POPLINFabric with fine horizontal ribbing, tightly packed warp, made from cotton or cotton polyester.
QQUICKDRYA breathable fabric that promotes quick drying.
RRING-SPUN COTTONThis yarn provides a smoother fabric surface and is softer to the touch. Clothing is more pleasant to wear and offers better printing quality.
RIP-STOPYarns and weft positioned squarely to prevent ripping.
SSLUB COTTONA fancy yarn with flash-shaped irregularities of thickness.
TTWILLThe alternating crossing of warp and weft forms diagonals that accentuate the movement of the garment.
VVISCOSEAn artificial material made from regenerated cellulose, with a silky and lustrous appearance (smooth to the touch). Also falls beautifully due to the density of the material (higher than cotton).

High visibility
EN 471:2003+A1:2007 (now superseded by EN ISO 20471:2013)This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for protective clothing capable of signalling the user’s presence visually. This clothing is intended to provide conspicuity in hazardous situations under any light conditions by day and under illumination by vehicle headlights in the dark. Performance requirements include colour and retroreflection properties. Further, minimum areas and the configuration of he visible area are specified.
X = Classification of the applied area of fluorescent and retro reflective material Classes 1 to 3 (of which class 3 is the highest achievable class).
Y = Classification of the quality of the applied retro reflective material Level 1 and 2 (of which 2 is the best).EN ISO 20471:2013The following pictogram placed on a garment indicates adherence to the EN ISO 20471 standard.
