Briko develops new Dryarn underwear collection with Nocentini

01/02/2012
Italian sports brand Briko has introduced a new line of underwear with Aquafil’s Dryarn microfibre for cyclists.

Called Il Noce in honour of Tuscan-born professional cyclist Rinaldo Nocentini, who worked with Briko’s development team on the design, this new collection includes a sleeveless jacket, the back of which is in Dryarn with a net jacquard structure and compression zones to increase oxygen in the blood.

At the time of the launch, Aquafil said cycling is a discipline that places the body under enormous strain and subjects athletes to frequent temperature changes. It said it believed Dryarn’s breathability and heat regulation functionality made it a good choice for Briko.
