Sports/​Activewear

Nilit Innergy Sport nylon 6.6 yarn is designed to capture body heat and reflect it back to the body as FIR (Far Infrared Rays) to gently and deeply warm and invigorate muscles. A naturally occurring mineral incorporated into the fibres converts the thermal energy and generates the FIR emissions.

Independent laboratory testing confirmed that Nilit Innergy Sport increases oxygen levels in the blood, reduces lactic acid build up in muscles, and relieves muscle fatigue, discomfort, and tension, the company reports.

All these actions are said to lead to greater user comfort and better athletic performance. In addition, Nilit Innergy Sport nylon yarn is durable, stays fresh, and protects from UV radiation making it the perfect choice for both outdoor and indoor athleticwear, according to the manufacturer.

“Nilit Innergy Sport is a very special performance yarn that has been proven to help active people feel better and look better,” commented Pierluigi Berardi, Nilit’s Global Marketing Director. “Designers can use this exciting yarn to create activewear that provides unique benefits for athletes at all levels.”

ATS nylon 6.6 yarns

Another innovation from Nilit is the new ATS (which stands for Air Textured Soft) special air jet texturing technology. Nilit’s ATS technology makes Nilit performance nylon yarns light, airy, and soft. “In fact, Nilit ATS yarns are softer than cotton,” says the company. They are also said to dry faster and be more durable with longer-lasting suppleness.

Nilit’s ATS technology has instilled extra softness and strength into many of Nilit’s performance yarns. Nilit Heat with natural thermal insulation, Nilit Breeze with cooling plus UV protection, Nilit Aquarius with moisture management, and Nilit Bodyfresh with antimicrobial protection are all softer and stronger than before.

“Our Nilit ATS technology creates nylon yarns that are beautiful, touchable, and resilient,” commented Pierluigi Berardi. “With a full range of yarn counts, colours, effects, and performance enhancements, designers of legwear, intimates, activewear, and ready to wear apparel will find everything to inspire incredible products.”
