The search for maximum performance in technical garments increasingly involves the integration of premium yarns and advanced construction structures. This principle is the foundation of the collaboration between XTech and Dryarn®, applied to new base layers such as the Tactical Shirt, the Viper Shirt, and the Artic women’s line, designed to offer top-tier comfort, thermoregulation, and moisture management for outdoor and extreme sports enthusiasts.
At the heart of these products is the use of Dryarn®, an innovative polypropylene microfiber known for its extreme lightness, water repellency, thermal insulation, and quick-drying properties. These characteristics, combined with a differentiated three-dimensional structure, result in high-performance garments that are durable over time and suitable for four-season use.
Both the Tactical and Viper shirts are created using a seamless 3D technique with functional zones, developed to work in synergy with the intrinsic properties of Dryarn®. The three-dimensional construction creates micro-ventilation channels and surfaces of varying thicknesses that promote:
The rapid removal of sweat from the skin.
The dispersion of moisture toward the outside.
Maintaining a dry feeling even during prolonged exertion.
Since Dryarn® is naturally water-repellent, it does not absorb moisture but transfers it, making the evaporation process extremely fast. XTech’s 3D structure amplifies this effect, transforming the fabric into an active sweat expulsion system.
One of the most significant aspects of this combination is dynamic thermoregulation. Dryarn® guarantees thermal insulation, preventing the heat loss typical of fabrics that retain moisture. Simultaneously, the three-dimensional construction allows for effective ventilation as activity intensity increases.
The result is a technical garment capable of adapting to different weather conditions and effort levels:
Thermal protection in cold climates or during static phases.
High breathability and cooling during the most intense physical phases.
This versatility makes the Tactical and Viper shirts the ideal technical underwear for a wide range of seasonal use without compromising on performance.
XTech’s three-dimensional innovation and Dryarn® performance are also available for women with the Artic line, specifically designed for outdoor activities during the winter season. The set consists of:
Artic Shirt: A long-sleeved technical shirt.
Artic Pants: Form-fitting and comfortable technical trousers.
Both garments boast a highly technical composition primarily made of Dryarn® (52% Dryarn®, 44% Q-Skin, 4% Elastane). Thanks to this material mix and the differentiated 3D structure, the Artic line guarantees excellent thermoregulation while remaining extremely breathable. It is a versatile and high-performing base layer, essential for facing the winter cold while always feeling like a “second skin.”
The controlled elasticity of XTech knitwear, combined with the absolute lightness of Dryarn®, allows for a snug yet non-restrictive fit. The garments are designed to follow body movements and maintain their original structure even after intense use and repeated washing.
The combination of our advanced technical yarn and the brand’s construction know-how creates garments that do not just “dress” the athlete but work actively to improve overall performance.
