Bioracer’s fabrics follow a layering principle. The textiles we use in our summer gear are striking by the very nature of them being lightweight and breathable. For the autumn season, we use Lycra and Thermofabric materials made with an elastic, thicker lined layer. In our winter line, we use fabric combinations with windproof, lined, breathable layers. Windproof panels are substituted out in strategic spots for breathable panels. The result: warm, windproof, breathable gear. PIXEL // 75 In our new Pixel fabric we combine 3 layers for maximum winter protection. The breathable inner layer wicks moisture away from the body. The central protective layer provides a shield against cold and wind. The outer layer is reflective and provides maximum visibility in the dark, for improved rider safety. The Pixel 75 is constructed with a windblock membrane that's 75% windproof PIXEL // 100 In our new Pixel fabric we combine 3 layers for maximum winter protection. The breathable inner layer wicks moisture away from the body. The central protective layer provides a shield against cold and wind. The outer layer is reflective and provides maximum visibility in the dark, for improved rider safety. The Pixel 100 is constructed with a windblock membrane that's 100% windproof DRYARN The microfibre that ensures well-being and performance while respecting your health and that of your world. Aquafil research has created Dryarn®, the innovative polypropylene microfibre with a very high level of performance. An innovative technological product because equally resistant, light,insulating and transpirant as well as being hygienic, comfortable and ecological. A very stable fabric, which does not change its shape unlike conventional fabrics. For long-lasting wearability, always in form. Moreover, Dryarn® does not absorb humidity and dries surprisingly quickly. All to the advantage of physical comfort, giving the skin a pleasant fresh and dry sensation. AIRTEX This fabric was developed by Bio-Racer. It keeps your body dry and gives a comfortable feeling during physical exertion. Additional benefits: fast removal of bodily fluid increased air permeability absorbs little fluid extra softness prevents irritations machine washable and quick drying offers resistance against mould and smells. QUADRI A new variety of textile which combines mono-elastic properties (with a positive effect on the fit of the shirt) to an exceptional removal of perspiration. Furthermore the fabric feels soft and pleasant to the touch. COOL LIGHT Bioracer developed a lightweight cycling jersey for the Olympic road and mountain bike races and World Championships. With success! Because various Olympic medals and world titles have already been won in this shirt. The fabric which is incorporated into these jerseys, is Cool Light 100, an extremely light variety of Coolmax. Micro-perforations create a larger breathable surface and allow the manufacture of shirts weighing less than 100 grams. No less than 70% lighter than a normal cycling jersey! COLDBLACK SUN REFLECTOR Light colored textiles reflect both visible and invisible rays of sunlight, meaning both heat and light. Dark colored textiles absorb both types of rays and therefore absorb heat. coldblack® reduces this absorption of heat rays particularly in the case of darker colors and in all types of textiles. The result is tangibly better heat management. UV PROTECTOR coldblack® guarantees a minimum UPF 30 protection when applied to any textile in any color without affecting the look or feel of the product. As a result, textiles with coldblack® can make an effective contribution to protecting against harmful UV rays. ACTIVE SOFT/HYDROFIT No information available. VUELTA Vuelta is a technical two-way stretch fabric with teaseling that is especially pleasing to the touch. The teaselling process creates a protective cushion that transforms Vueltainto a great thermal insulator for the body. This, added to its optimal breathability, make it suitable for athlete’s garments produced for demanding aerobic sports, where natural sweat evaporation and freedom of movements are of the essence. It has been also certified LYCRA® Sport: it assures elongation, perfect fit and recovery power. Vuelta is a performance fabric, designed to support athletes and active people in their sporting activities. Thanks to its exceptional resistance to pilling and abrasion, Vuelta guarantees prolonged use. WINDTEX Windtex is a light stretch heat regulating membrane which repels wind and water and maintains unaltered the microclimate between the skin and the fabric. DROPTEX Droptex technology integrates a windproof membrane within the three laminated fleece fabric making the soft fleece water repellent and windproof. ISOLATION The thread of Isolation has an insulating effect which keeps the body extra warm. High breathable capacity so that the perspiration is removed faster. The polyester surface is quickly dry and feels soft and pleasant to the touch. TRANSOTEX/THERMASTAT The insulating effect of the threads keeps the body extra warm. A roughened layer of Thermastat on the inside reinforces this effect. This results in very high breathable capacity with a fast removal of perspiration. The polyester surface is quickly dry and exceedingly strong. HUSKY Functionality and comfort complement each other in this fabric. This so called fleece-fabric is made with microfine trevira polyester threads. Properties: warm moisture transporting and regulating light to wear easy to maintain DRI-TEX Material that is often used in our rain gear. It offers optimum protection from wind and rain. It also distributes body heat and wicks away moisture. It is easy to wash, convenient to fold and quick-drying. GELANOTS Gelanots is the name of the unique product made by Toyota - pore-free hydrophilic membrane. Due to its qualities the membrane is used for production of fabric intended for sport clothing (most frequently, the membrane is laminated on the inner side of the fabric). The main function of the sport clothing membrane is to ensure that evaporated sweat passes out through the membrane and outer moisture does not get inside. In other words – to ensure that the membrane user does not “steam up“ from the inside and does not get wet from the outside. GAMEX An elastic fabric made from polyester filament microfibre threads. Windproof, water repellent, very breathable, light and supple, stretch fabric and easy maintenance. WINDBLOCK Windblock is a light elastic fabric which maintains the body temperature and protects against wind and rain. WINTER WINDBLOCK During really cold weather an item of clothing with Winter Windblock quality is appropriate. A system with 3 layers protects the body against cold and wind. The innermost layer consists of 100% polyester. The fleece membrane offers outstanding protection against cold and rain and breathes as well. The upper layer not only retains its shape and is colourfast, but it provides the required insulation during cold days. CARO A very functional and super-elastic fabric that feels like a second skin. Easy to wash and quick-drying. Mould and smell-resistant. LYCRA A high quality, elastic variety of textile for cycling shorts, which guarantees an optimal wearing comfort. Carefully following the instructions guarantees far more riding pleasure. OXYGÈNE Excellent dynamic performance: Multidimensional elastic movement.
