"Our core aim is to enable athletes to stay "Active & Fresh", during and after sport.

This translates into an everyday innovative approach that mobilises all the Equarea team."

"To meet athletes' needs, you have to know and understand them.

For this, we work in partnership with the Oxylane Research teams (R&D). This way we carry out scientific studies to understand the athlete's physiology."

"Together, we design and develop new concepts to enable athletes to transcend the irritations caused by sweating.

We also develop prototypes of new products to run tests before they are available in store."

"Stage 1: Defining the "freezing/chilling effect" issue.
During sport in cool weather, athletes sweat. Even a slight breeze blowing on damp skin leads to an unpleasant chilling feeling.
Stage 2: Analysing the problem.
We needed to create a new type of textile that offered excellent moisture wicking and windproofing properties. This would mean the athlete's skin stays dry and protected from the wind. "

"Stage 3: Solution.
We researched how to achieve excellent moisture wicking with a tighter weave fabric.
After several months, the team had created Booster, which is a new Equarea-patented fabric that wicks away perspiration 5 times faster!
