The Craft Principle
An intensive training session will without exception result in the body producing a considerable amount of sweat. This is just how it should be, and is welcome confirmation that you are pushing the boundaries of your own ability. Just make sure that you’re wearing clothes that help you to maintain the right working temperature.
When you’re wearing functional clothes, the fabric helps to keep the skin dry and you can continue to perform at an ideal working temperature. If you’re wearing the wrong clothes, the sweat will remain in place and the pores will become blocked, causing your body heat to rise at once. Who hasn’t experienced the feeling of going out for some exercise and how their clothes turn into a cold damp envelope which relentlessly creates a sense of weight and cold. The affect on your performance is just as relentless.
So it’s in your own interest to make sure that your sweat is transported away from your skin as quickly as possible. Use functional clothes, dress according to the layer principle, that’s all there is to it.
Craft functional underwear
- efficiently transports moisture away form the skin
- keeps you dry when exercising
- ensures the best body temperature for optimal performance in all conditions.
Refined over three decades and engineered to the highest standards, crafts range of functional underwear is in a league of its own.
Crafts functional underwear is designed to be worn next the skin. The structure of the fabrics and the stitching techniques moisture away from th skin and distribute it ob the outside, where it either evaporates or is passed on to the next layer. As a result, the skin will stay dry and you will be able to perform at an ideal working temperature. For optimal performance and comfort, crafts underwear should always be worn underneath your outer layers r by itself, regardless of weather conditions.
The craft family of functional underwear consists of ive collections- pro cool, pro zero, pro extreme, pro zero Windstopper and pro warm-complementing each other. With these five collections, craft offers a full range of underwear with unique performance characteristics for strenuous physical in all climates and weathers. Consult the graph to see which collection works best for what conditions.
Layers
With Crafts functional clothes, in up to three layers, you create the perfect microclimate. The climate that is closest to you- right down to your skin. When both ventilation and moisture transportation are working, you will achieve your optimal working temperature. Each layer is just as important, complementing the others in the chain. Collaboration is the key word. It’s easy to explain the principle that increases your performance and thus makes your exercise more beneficial.
Layer 1: Ventilation
Craft functional underwear is designed to be worn next to the skin. With that in mind, the materials the underwear is made from are skin friendly polyester sewn with flatlock stitching technique that make the fabric efficiently transport moisture away from the skin and distribute it on the outside of the garment where it either evaporates or is passed on to the next garment.
Layer2: Insulation
This insulating middle layer also transports the moisture off the body and during training sessions when and when it’s cold it provides insulation enabling you to retain valuable body heat.
Layer 3: Protection
No matter the sport, these outer layer garments provide protection against wind, rain and cold. Conversely, they are fabricated to release excessive internal moisture build up.
Pro Cool Underwear
Layer one: pro cool
Pro cool – Unique Innovation
Crafts pro cool functional underwear is designed specifically to keep you cool while exercising in warm weather conditions. The underwear comes in two high tech fabrications- plain and mesh. Both fabrications are based on the use of a Hexa continuous filament, unique pattered construction with six channels that pulls perspiration vapour off the body to keep it cool.
Pro cool plain
Made from a blend of 94% coolmax extreme with hexa- channelled fibers for 180/m2 perspiration vapour pull off the body and 6% lycra so the garment flows with body motions, pro cool plain is designed for both casual and the world-class athletes.
Pro cool mesh:
Combine 98% coolmax extreme hexa-channelled fibers that pull perpiration apour off the body at a rate f 150/m2 with 2% lycra for a body hugging garment that flows with movement and you have the ultimate lightweight performance underwear for hot weather training.
Pro Zero Extreme
The dryer, the better, the faster,…… thanks to a material revolution, even the hardest strain can be free of moisture and smell. Lightweight, dry and fitted clothes become part of your every move and kep you at the right temperature at all time.
Pro zero
Pro zero creates the best microclimate for extreme endurance in fair and cold weather. Air channelled polyester expels excess heat away from the body while filament yarns move the moisture. Craft pro zero is the most trusted base layer for extreme endurance away form the skin. The function dictates the form, lab and race tested.
Pro Zero Windstopper
Next generation of fully waterproof underwear, Gore Windstopper offers full wind protection but still maximum breath ability. Combined with our pro zero fabric makes this garment the smarter choice to create perfect microclimate wearing fewer layers. Pro Zero: air channelled polyester pull excess perspiration vapour out to filament yarns that disperse it.
Gore Windstopper fabric is the thinnest alternative now used on underwear with a weight of only 86/ g m2. Its lightweight and its 4-way stretch make this garment fitting like an outer skin. The wind panels are strategically positioned on the garments to protect you where you need it. Gore Windstopper is applied to our Pro Underwear, in order to maximise moisture transfer from the skin.
Pro warm
Pro warm is a thermal yarn that is warm and comfort without ant extra weight when it gets wet. It is a performance hollow fiber that collects air in order to get a better insulation when you need it. This is a perfect addition in the Pro Warm segment and maks Level 1 more complete. It allows more freedom of movement and total comfort.
Craft Climate Control System Socks.
Craft Climate Control System creates the ideal micro climate for your feet. Depending on the weather an the intensity of exercise activity. The socks either cool feet down or keep them warm. Using the hexa-channelled fibre in our cooler sock and the felted wool in our thermal socks makes the big difference. Cool or warm, they will also be dry.
Keeping the right temperature saves energy. Keeping the feet dry will help you to perform.
Craft ccs
Channel stiched ultra thin uppers allow warm air to circulate and cool down plus draw perspiration vapour up and away for the feet.
Mesh panels create air circulation in the channels to allow perspiration vapour to be dispelled into the surrounding air.
Wide lycra inserted cuffs grip the ankles without pressuring them and keep the sock form fitting.
Soft ans seamless plain soles eliminate chafing and blisters
Pre shaped lycra arch ribs keep the socks in a place on the foot no matter the sporting activity.
Layer three: protection
The third layer is your shield against the elements, which also releases the surplus heat and moisture from the layers underneath.
Bike Warmth, comfort and the perfect fit are the three essentials in a bike jacket going out in the chilly, cold and evendamp autum rides.
