Invista workshops a new component of Performance Days

26/04/2016
Polymer and fibre producer Invista held a series of workshops for the first time at the Performance Days event in Munich from April 20-21. It said its aim was to give delegates guidance on the cooling and compression fabrics in its Coolmax and Lycra Sport ranges.

The workshops were led by Huw Williams, Invista’s global segment director for activewear and outdoor, and by Simon Whitmarsh-Knight, European accounts director for activewear and outdoor. They highlighted common problems and misconceptions around cooling and compression fabrics, the importance of testing and understanding consumer needs.

They also gave market insights into the move away from fabric ‘wicking’ towards ‘cool and dry’, and the different types of compression.
