Radilon® Chill-fit is the new RadiciGroup solution to maximise the breathability and freshness that a fabric can offer. It is the result of extensive research and development that has led to the creation of a highly functional yarn capable of ensuring thermal regulation of the fabric without the need for additional treatments.
Radilon® Chill-fit provides the wearer with a pleasant feeling of comfort and freshness for an extended period, while offering high protection against UV rays.
Visitors were able to touch and feel the yarn for the first time at the autumn edition of Performance Days, the reference trade fair for trends and innovations in yarn, fabric and accessories, to be held in Munich (Germany) on 4 and 5 October. Group specialists from the Advanced Textile Solutions Business Area were at hand over the two days to demonstrate the Group's comprehensive range of functional and high-performance yarns, as well as its line of sustainable products that contribute to an innovative and circular textile sector.
The distinguishing features of Radilon® Chill-fit are that, in addition to its UV protection, the yarn has an intrinsic and permanent thermoregulation capacity that eliminates the need for additional fabric treatments. Its high breathability allows air and moisture to pass through quickly, keeping the wearer fresh and comfortable all day long: a result also proven by a specific test on body temperature changes (thermocamera test) comparing a garment made with traditional yarn and one made with Chill-fit.
Radilon® Chill-fit is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified and is, like all RadiciGroup yarns, 100% recyclable.
