9 June 2009, Bühler - Uniting four different structures in
one fabric, knit fabric specialist Eschler and endurance specialist Zoot have
launched a high tech functional solution for triathlon apparel. Flash Synchro
TX is a bi -component knitted garment utilizing polyester inside and polyamide on
the outside, combining great moisture management with high abrasion resistance
as well as compression benefits due to added elastane. In cooperation with
Zoot, Eschler developed a body mapped fabric with four different qualities for
the respective zones.
Zoot has been pioneering innovative product solutions for
more than 25 years and the performance apparel brand has now collaborated with
Swiss knit specialist Eschler to develop a unique fabric for their
technologically advanced triathlon wear. Eschler’s Flash Synchro TX fabric combines
two different qualities, which not only makes it ‘dry in a flash’ but the bi-component
construction with polyester fibres on the inside guarantees outstanding wicking
and cooling properties, while the durable polyamide outer material provides
high abrasion resistance. Eschler also adds elastane which provides the garment
with compression for muscle stabilization and support.
In cooperation with Zoot, the Swiss brand further worked on
perfecting Synchro TX. The result is one fabric which unites four body-mapped
zones. Depending on sweat and muscle zone, the synchronized quality offers
compression benefits where the athlete actually needs it and ventilation on the
body’s ‘hot spots’. Eschler says that, with this unique fabric, Zoot’s Ultra TX
triathlon wear offers superior performance gear for athletes who demand nothing
but the best.
