SUGOI Performance Apparel, introduces a new high-performance material that combines moisture management, thermal insulation and anti-bacterial properties with an outstanding soft touch: FinoCarbon.

Designed to be worn next to skin, the SUGOI FinoCarbon base layer garments create an ideal micro-climate for high aerobic output activities, while also providing a lush hand feel suitable for lifestyle use.

FinoCarbon is a double jersey knit, brushed on both sides for softness and to increase thermal insulation. Thanks to the double-knit construction, the increased surface draws moisture away from the skin quickly and transports it to the outside of the garment. This technology allows for an overall dry and warm sensation for the athlete, and is essential to achieve temperature regulation.

FinoCarbon not only features the moisture management functions of polyester; it also has a mechanical, Lycra-free stretch which allows for complete freedom of movement. Another benefit of mechanical stretch is a lighter weight garment.

FinoCarbon offers an anti-odor property which is extremely important for athletes; silver ions embedded in the fiber eliminate odor-causing bacteria, while nano-sized carbon particles derived from renewable resources absorb the left-over bacteria and dissolve them. Silver has been recognized as an anti-bacterial agent for centuries, first being used in medical bandages and later in refrigerator freezers for anti-bacterial purposes. These anti-bacterial properties are long-lasting and do not wash away over time as do many other competitive products on the market.

The SUGOI Fall 09 FinoCarbon base-layer items have a buttery-soft hand feel, offer superior moisture transfer, are lightweight, quick to dry and easy to care for.
