Under Shield - with Carbon Energised Fibre and Dryarn

Italian apparel specialist Moto One has introduced a new Italian made riding and outdoor sports technical underwear brand called Under Shield.
Described as a "technically advanced athletic clothing line", Under Shield is said to feature "an exclusive new fabric by combining Carbon Energized Fibre (C.E.F.) with Dryarn". The resulting yarn produces a fabric that is "breathable, comfortable and helps to regulate body temperature - a high quality technical material.


"Combined with a continuous, conductive filament of C.E.F., the fabric fibres react to human thermodynamics to improve performance in any sports discipline. Dryarn is a material that is more breathable than polyester, more insulating than wool, and lighter than any other fibre - a garment in Dryarn weighs 32% less than the same garment in wool and 34% less than in polyester. During moderate intensity training sessions, Dryarn draws perspiration outward, helping balance the body's thermo-regulation system and keeping skin dry."

C.E.F. was first seen in selected Moto One riding apparel in 2019.  The C.E.F. also wicks perspiration away from the body, working in combination with the polypropylene Dryarn. The 'secret recipe' of the Carbon Energized Technology in C.E.F. lies in how its molecules react to heat. When the body temperatures rises, the molecules in the material expand, encouraging breathability and wicking moisture away. When the body cools again, the molecules in the base of the material close again, trapping a thin layer of air between the skin and the fabric.
The range being offered by Moto One includes vests, short and long sleeve tops, outer layers, 3/4 and full length pants, long and short socks (non and compressive), and a wide range of accessories from balaclavas to tube neck warmers.
