Warmth and functionality from new Teijin knitwear collection
Fibre developer Teijin Frontier has launched a new collection of seamless knitwear for outdoor sports, giving it the name Microft AR.
It describes the collection as offering warmth and comfort combined, with a high functionality. It will launch Microft AR in time for the autumn-winter 2024-2025 season and has predicted that it will sell 100,000 pieces during its 2026 fiscal year.
The clothing is made from 100% recycled polyester, using proprietary Deltapeak high-performance polyester filament yarn as the core. Teijin has said this creates a high-density loop structure to provide favourable raising and bulky heat-insulating performance, while preventing fibres from falling off.
Performance properties include sweat-absorbency, quick-drying and high breathability. The garments will also be highly compactable, folding to a small size.
