Innova

The "benchmark of performance fibers" has long been the standard by which other technical fibers measure their performance. Innova is ideal for applications where its moisture-management properties, insulative and quick-dry qualities are needed.

Innova is an ideal fiber to use in thermalwear, dive and surfwear, peddlesports, running and cycling apparel. Innova is also ideally suited for aerobic and swimwear because it is not degraded by perspiration and chlorine.

Innova AMP
for Watersports

Innova’s unique properties make it ideal for watersports. Hydrophobic (will not absorb water). Innova will dry quickly and not cause chilling orevaporative cooling when outside the water. Excellent thermal and insulative properties to keep the wearer warm in and out of the water. Lightweight for warmth without weight.

Innova has a UPF rating of 50 which is the highest rating which can be achieved. And this rating is achieved without any topical treatment which can wear off after repeated use. Innova offers protection for the life of the garment.

Innova products may be used in cold weather watersports and will keep the wearer warmer longer because of Innovaís excellent insulation properties. It can also be used as a liner when neoprene is needed and offers the extra layer of warmth.

Applications

  • Wet suits
  • Paddle sports
  • Swimwear
Diagram of water absorption

Innova yarns are the least absorbent of the textile fibers. They do not wet out. In fact, INNOVA® yarns "absorb" water, moving moisture in the vapor stage to the outside of the fabric, never holding any moisture. An added benefit is the breathability of INNOVAŽ yarns.
