Nylon 6 with an Instant Cooling Effect
Immediate cooling sensation and heat reduction
Thermal comfort and instant cooling
In conditions of high physical intensity or warm climates, body temperature management is vital for performance. XTRA‑ACTIVE COOLING is an advanced Nylon 6 yarn, designed to deliver an immediate cooling sensation on contact with the skin and help keep the athlete comfortable for longer.
Integrated cool‑touch technology
Unlike surface chemical treatments, XTRA‑ACTIVE COOLING technology is based on a specific cool‑touch additive that is integrated directly into the polymer during the spinning process.
This integration ensures that the functionality does not fade with washing, maintaining its ability to reduce the perception of heat build‑up even in the most demanding environments.
Key benefits
Instant cooling effect: delivers a noticeably cooler touch from the very first contact, providing immediate thermal relief.
Reduction of heat build‑up: engineered to limit the sensation of stuffy or accumulated heat during intense physical activity, compared with standard Nylon 6.
Prolonged freshness: keeps the garment cool and comfortable during longer periods of wear, enhancing the end‑user experience.
Permanent functionality: as the additive is embedded within the fibre, its cooling properties are intrinsic and long‑lasting throughout the entire service life of the product.
High‑performance applications
XTRA‑ACTIVE COOLING is the ideal choice for first‑layer garments, where thermal comfort is a critical factor:
Outdoor sportswear: running, trail running, cycling and outdoor training.
Hiking and trekking: base layers for fast hiking and mountain activities.
Team sports: technical next‑to‑skin garments designed to enhance athletic performance.
Tactical & military: base layers for tactical uniforms in warm climates or under heavy protective equipment.
PRODUCT RANGE AND COMFORT SYNERGIES
To maximise results, XTRA‑ACTIVE COOLING offers technical versatility:
Formats: available in flat and texturised yarn versions.
XTRA‑DRY synergy: can be combined with XTRA‑COMFORT cross‑sections (such as XTRA‑DRY) to simultaneously enhance moisture management, fast drying and the cooling sensation.
This combination creates a garment capable of cooling and wicking away sweat at the same time, delivering the highest level of technical comfort.
Technical note: all functionalities within the XTRA‑ACTIVE range are compatible with the special geometries of the XTRA‑COMFORT family.
