Introducing Lykan: A new generation of active insulation, smooth, airy and engineered for movement.
Airweb™ Knit: Featherlight Insulation For The Future
Meet the future of lightweight, active insulation. By combining a unique textured yarn with cutting edge 3D knitting technology, we achieve a concept for making knitted performance garments that is nothing short of groundbreaking.
For the Airweb™ Knit insulation technology we use a textured yarn that combines Teijin Waveron™ and Teijin Deltapeak™ yarns, creating a strong, stretchy material with a soft, “fuzzy” character. The Waveron™ fibers have a flat cross section with grooves running along the fiber. This unique micro structure provides high moisture transportation and a soft, flowy feeling. It also allows us to make knitted fabrics with open structure to increase airflow without making them see-through.
The Knit
Airweb™ Knit uses Shima-Seiki Wholegarment, a cutting edge 3D knitting technology where different panels of the garment can be knitted with different structures seamlessly. This technology allows us to design garments that truly feel like an extension of your body, provide full freedom of movement and never interfere with other garments in a layering system.
The unique combination of yarn and knitting technology creates a concept that pushes both performance and comfort. The Airweb™ Knit fabric is incredibly soft, flowy and feels amazing next to skin. The lofty fibers in combination with the open knit structure builds a layer of warm air with a level of breathability that no conventional fabrics can match. The structure of the material and fibers will quickly vent out excess heat or moisture. The stretch and recovery of the fabric is incredible which provides full freedom of movement and a completely unrestricted feeling.
