For The First Time Graphene Plus Finds Use In Sportswear

The largest producer of graphene-based products suitable for consumer and industrial usages Directa Plus, has sealed a deal with leading sportswear brand Colmar to produce the first of its kind graphene-enhanced sportswear. Colmar’s new collection – containing Graphene Plus (G+) was revealed at Munich and the range includes ready-to-wear ski jackets (for men and women), ski suits, technical underwear and a polo shirt. This is the first time Graphene Plus nanotechnology has been used in sportswear. Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive Officer of Directa Plus, informed: “This is the first time that Graphene Plus has been used in sportswear, and the first G+ textile product to reach the market, which represents a significant milestone in a sector that offers tremendous opportunity. Colmar has proven that they are pioneers in the field of sportswear with the launch of their new collection containing our graphene-based products, and we wish them all the success. We believe this is the beginning of a revolution in the world of sportswear and the textile industry as a whole.”

The requirement to identify increasingly higher performing technologies has given rise to a revolutionary technical solution: clothing that incorporates graphene, an innovative nanotech material derived from graphite, which, for the first time in sportswear, significantly improves performance for the benefit of athletes, professionals and sports enthusiasts. The key characteristic of these items is their ability to act as a filter between the body and the external environment, always ensuring the ideal temperature for the wearer. It is a smart fabric that allows tailor-made comfort. Thanks to G+, the warmth produced by the human body is dispersed in warm climates and preserved and distributed evenly in cold climates. In addition, because the fabrics treated with Graphene Plus are electrostatic and bacteriostatic, they are able to reduce the friction with air and water to enable top sporting performance.
