SIXS

Winter intermediate layers

As a follow-up to its Limited Edition 10th anniversary short sleeve commemorative base layer - made with what Italian specialist SIXS said was the lightest fabric it had ever used (TS1 - 90% Polypropylene, 7% Elastane, 3% Carbon) - EICMA saw the introduction of its new WTJ 2 wind stopper jacket/Winter Tourism line and matching WTP 2 riding trousers. 
Described as being for the "motorcycle and scooter riders who do not give up in the cold", the WTJ 2 is a "second layer" jacket that offers warmth and comfort (especially in the frontal area) without sacrificing breathability at the rear area. The garments in the Winter Tourism line are the first where the patented SIXS Carbon UnderWear fabric is used together with additional different textile elements - a mix of three materials altogether that allows "great protection from the cold air together with a complete transpiration of the skin".
WTJ 2 protects from wind and cold while maintaining "proper sweat management and perfect thermoregulation thanks to Carbon Underwear inserts" thanks to what SIXS describes as the "Brainy Position technology" where the three different materials are used in different positions of the garment -  the Winter Barrier (windproof, breathable and thermoregulating fibre) prevents the cold from penetrating while maintaining a warm and dry body. In the parts of the body most prone to sweating, Carbon Underwear guarantees full transpiration and thermoregulation, while a weft made of a new generation thermopile heats and maintains the correct body temperature.
The WTJ 2 jacket is normally worn as an "intermediate layer" between SIXS underwear and an external technical garment. The 'Aero Fit' design follows the rider's posture - it is longer in the rear area, shorter in the front and includes a new soft and warm thermopile microfleece.
The windproof WTP 2 trousers feature the same combination of materials and "Brainy" positioning with the Winter Barrier at the front and breathable thermoregulation Carbon Underwear fibre at the rear (above and below the knees). The 'Aero Fit' WTP 2 trousers are also recommended as an "intermediate layer" on top of SIXS underwear and under another external technical garment.
