Technology
Elevate your experience with Terramar Technology.
Terramar baselayer clothing is specifically engineered to enhance your outdoors experience, using the most innovative technology available. This is the philosophy behind our trusted Thermasilk® (pure natural silk), Body-Sensors® (thermal regulated performance baselayer) and Thermawool (superfine Merino wool) technologies.
Now we’ve developed ThermaTX2, ThermaDri and CoolTX2 - innovative clothing that’s carefully designed to fit right, control moisture and odor and create an ideal microclimate around the body - no matter the level of exertion or outside temperature.
Stay Active. Stay Dry. Whatever the Temperature.
Nothing should get in the way of you and your outdoor experience. Not even sweat. Thanks to our innovative ec2® Qwik-Dri fabric, you’ll stay dry even during your most extreme outdoor days. ec2® Qwik-Dri technology is an electrostatic process that permanently modifies fiber to improve its ability to move and release moisture. The ec2® Qwik-Dri fabrics respond to your body’s need to get rid of excess heat and moisture by accelerating the process of evaporation and keeping you dry, warm and comfortable.
 This close-up view shows how wicking fabrics only release excessive heat and moisture where there is skin contact with the fabric. |
 ec2® fabrics utilize electrostatic evaporation, not wicking, so they release excessive heat and moisture constantly across the entire surface of the fabric. |
Terramar’s New Technology
What is
X
-ODOR
® ?
Absorbing and Neutralizing.
X -ODOR ® fabric is constructed from special yarns which contain huge amounts of micro parts on the surface of the yarn. The micro pore s are an inherent feature of the carbon and natural mineral elements from which the yarn is produced. The yarns are developed from a bstracts of various specific herbs, found in nature, and the minerals extracted from these herbs, offer high absorbency, wicking, an d ion discharging characteristics, which have innate antibacterial function and significant odor absorbing and neutralizing elements.
Dry quickly
X -ODOR ® yarns contain huge micro pores on the surface of yarns. This creates enormous surface area which greatly enhances the ab sorption of human perspiration from the surface of skin as well as the ability to quickly and efficiently spread and transfer this moisture to the outer layer of the fabric. This will naturally enhance the body.s own cooling system, during extreme physical activity, and will keep your skin dry and comfortable all the time, so we called the feature .SKIN-DRY..
Anti-odor performance
Anti-bacteria is not equal to anti-odor. Bacteria are only one cause of body odor. Ammonia, denatured proteins, even outside environ ment will be the significant cause of odor in apparel and hosiery products. Incredible, the odor is absorbed and neutralized byX -ODOR ® yarn very quickly. The result shows a great effect on odor reduction.
Anti-bacteria
Most of bad smells are caused by bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus especially. The inside herb abstracts found in the micro pores, hav e been selected specifically for their natural ability to produce fragrant gases which are known by science to have inherent anti-bacterial function.
Anti-fungal
Trichophyton mentagrophytes is the most common cause of athlete.s foot. Our testing shows that X -ODOR ® yarn has tremendous anti- fungus properties.
UV-protection
Depend on the fabric construction provides sun protection. The porous nature of X -ODOR® yarns provides full sun protection naturally. Testing shows the fabrics will provide Ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50+ (AAT CC 183-2000).
Permanent. Natural. Safe.
Dri-Release with FreshGuard
Designed by scientists at Optimer, this blend of Merino wool and advanced polyester fibers provides optimum performance and cold weather comfort. The natural fibers absorb moisture, pulling it off the skin and into the fabric. Synthetic fibers repel moisture, forcing it to the surface of the garment, where it evaporates quickly. Wool is a natural protection from the cold while Freshguard® eliminates odor retention, making this the ideal fabric for intense cold weather activities.
Silver Ion Technology
VisaEndurance® is a moisture-management, quick-drying, stain-releasing fabric that also fights odors. VisaEndurance is a "SmartFabric" that is made from microfiber polyester that has been embedded with Silver Ions. These Silver Ions are encapsulated within the yarn and are permanent, naturally preventing the growth of bacteria for the full life of the garment. Ideal for rigorous activity in cold weather.
Outlast®
Outlast technology continuously adapts to your changing thermal needs through "phase change materials" that are incorporated into the garments to provide a buffer against temperature swings. And it regulates your temperature through the use of patented microencapsulated Thermocules™ that absorb and store excess heat, releasing it when you need it most. So no matter the temperature, you’ll always be perfectly comfortable.
Compression
This 80% Micro-Polyester and 20% spandex blend is designed to fit snugly and enhance your body’s conditioning and efficiency. The spandex compression reduces muscle fatigue by increasing the flow of blood to the muscles while providing additional support. An excellent first-layer performance fabric.
Tencel®
TENCEL combines moisture-management, a cooling effect and a smooth fiber surface that results in a soft, gentle fabric - ideal for sensitive skin. Compared to cotton, TENCEL absorbs 50% more moisture. As a result, moisture is immediately transported from the skin to the fiber, which means bacterial growth - and odor - is dramatically reduced. TENCEL is pesticide-free, eco-friendly and 100% biodegradable.
