NEXT-TO-SKIN
The fabric closest to the body is the one that has to respond to it.
Skin contact is not a passive condition. The body's thermal output, moisture production, and sensitivity to texture change across every activity and environment — and the fabric against skin has to move with all of it. These materials are selected for how they perform across the full dynamic range of the body: thermoregulation, moisture transport, and next-to-skin comfort treated as specification variables, not afterthoughts.
// Moisture Management
Wet skin is not a comfort problem. It is a performance problem.
Moisture retained at the skin surface increases friction, accelerates chilling during stop-and-go activities, and prolongs recovery between efforts. The failure is not sweat — it is a fabric that holds it there.

// Sensory Performance
Synthetic solves the brief. It doesn't solve what the body wants to feel.
Moisture retained at the skin surface increases friction, accelerates chilling during stop-and-go activities, and prolongs recovery between efforts. The failure is not sweat — it is a fabric that holds it there.
