Performance
Quick-Dry Wicking
SUGOI’s performance wicking materials keep sweat at bay for a dry, comfortable performance. At the premium level, Icefil® technology reacts with body heat to cool skin temperature and protect from harmful UV rays.
Stretch Fabrics
SUGOI’s performance stretch fabrics are at the core of our DNA. With a range of textures and compression capabilities, we have been the preferred solution since we created our first bike short in 1987.
Compression
Piston fabrics reduce muscle fatigue and aid in recovery after extreme workouts by increasing blood flow to the muscles.
Wool
As mother nature’s technical fabric, wool provides excellent thermal regulation, wicking and odour protection. Our 170-weight merino is the perfect blend for high energy winter training.
