Schoeller sensegroup is a collection of skin-friendly fabrics that allows garments to keep their shape, offering wearers a dressy look as well as high levels of comfort. Other functionality includes breathability, hydrophilic properties and easy care, thanks to the use of other textile technology solutions from the Swiss company, including NanoSphere, 3XDRY and activesilver antimicrobial protection.
“People who want to look good while engaging in indoor sports as well as out around town,” Schoeller said at the time of the launch, addin that its sense fabrics can be used to make pants, jackets or tops. Other attractions it pointed to included a supple feel, soft, understated colours, mélange looks, piqué structures and silky sheen to form a wide palette of different lightweight fabrics in polyamide, Lycra, polyester, microfibres or cotton blends.
Specific examples include an ultra-light, semi-transparent, elastic polyamide fabric, an elastic cotton-polyester blend with sparkling silver yarns “to ensure a sophisticated look as one-layer or two-layer bonded fabrics with jersey on the inside”.
There are also polyamide bicolours with mélange effect in shades of green, blue, grey and brown. They come with water and dirt
repellence, based on Schoeller’s NanoSphere technology and stretch comfort. Other fabrics have bonded soft-shell qualities in light lilac, vibrant orange or dark navy blue with jersey inner lining to offer wind and weather protection before and after training.
