Every clothing system starts with the layer worn directly on the skin. Functionality and wearing comfort are of particular importance. Our underwear is characterised in particular by its almost seamless manufacture using the seamless process, which avoids friction and pressure points on the body. We offer underwear with different levels of heat and cold protection, flame retardancy up to ballistic underwear for protection against splinters and fragments. In addition, with our modern flat and circular knitting machines, we can combine complex functional aspects, such as air permeability, stretch or compression capability via different knitting zones in one textile product.
Various wool underwear for cool to very cold climates
Flame retardant underwear to protect against burns
Ballistic underwear for protection against splinters
Integration of various functional knit zones
Example Ballistic Underwear:
Ballistic retention performance in terms of fragment resistance: V50 value against a 0.13g (2.0 grain) FSP fragmentation projectile > 200 m/s (test according to STANAG 2920)
Body close fit as well as overlapping of undershirts and undershorts prevent the penetration of fragments
High wearing comfort due to seamless construction and use of elastic yarns
3D construction, close fit
Low weight
Interoperability with other protective elements and clothing layers
Different versions available in terms of washability and flame retardancy
OEKO-TEX certified
Example wool underwear
