Tencel

Feels so right

shyAktive sports bras and accessories are constructed from TENCEL ™ Lyocell and Modal fibers. Derived from sustainable wood sources, mainly eucalyptus trees, these regenerated cellulosic fibers form a soft, lustrous and versatile fabric. TENCEL ™ fibers are manufactured by Austrian company, Lenzing AG. Lyocell is the latest development in this fabric technology, its main benefit is its superior production process that uses a closed loop system and no harmful chemicals.

"People have known for years that plants hold the potential to meet a number of society needs” - Senthilkumar, 2016. 

TENCEL ™ Lyocell and Modal are known for their soft feel, gentle texture, flexibility, strength and breathability – features well suited to activewear. The ability of Tencel to regulate body temperature and wick moisture from the skin helps prevent the growth of bacteria which keeps clothes fresher for longer. This limits the number of times an item needs to be washed, which enhances its sustainability.
