Super Nanotech Fabric strips back the layers fro engineered warmth
South West based RTG, a world-wide specialist in textile and contract manufacturing, has launched its latest innovative Skyns fabric technology to the working, promo and sporting world. It's designed to equip workers to seasoned athletes with the material they need to keep warm and dry while getting the job done outdoors, whatever the weather challenge, performance goals or vigorous activity.
A new addition to its Skyns family, Thermoskyn softshell is RTG's latest high performance fabric to be engineered and manufactured in house to provide a stylised, competitively priced, all-in-one, outdoor solution which banishes the need for multi layers and provides warmth without weight. Harnessing the power of nanotechnology, the lightweight, flexible fabric provides a 100% breathable, protective shell for physical workers and sportsmen exposed to the elements, repelling water and shutting out the wind for a balanced temperature.
"Thermoskyn softshell provides the benefits that previously required several layers of clothing, ensuring complete weatherproofing and ease of movement," says Marcus Aldred, Production & Development Director. "The stay dry antimicrobial technology keeps wind and rain out and allows moisture to escape, without the need of a waterproof barrier membrane. Innovative, lightweight protection that provides extreme comfort and dryness," he adds.
Demonstrating ultra rapid moisture transfer, pill resistance and dimensional stability, Thermoskyn softshell has an insulating layer at its core that wicks moisture, from sweat or precipitation, away from the skin to the fabric surface where it can evaporate, eliminating coldness and ‘skin cling’. Its outer membrane provides 100% windblock thanks to a dense weave of fabric fibres. Embedded silver ions with their anti bacterial effect are also released from within the fabric on contact with perspiration. These suppress bacterial growth responsible for bad smells, prevent garments from ageing prematurely, and ensure long lasting durability and freshness.
Plymouth based RTG, which is jointly owned by Marcus Aldred and Co-Founder & Director Andy Drake is a dynamic and entrepreneurial business, with innovation at its helm. Its Skyns performance clothing range is built on a revolutionary material, manufactured right down to the weave in RTG’s own factory and knitting facility, enabling low costs and high quality.
Over the last 18 years, RTG biggest brands in the world. During that time it has developed an impressive portfolio which is currently serviced by over 500 employees, and is a preferred partner to the likes of Emirates, Mark Warner, ScrewFix, Virgin and Barbour.
RTG's Skyns Clothing range includes Coolskyn Plus, Coolskyn, BrightSkyn, and Thermoskyn. Coolskyn is a high performance 100% polyester fabric that maintains body climate to keep the wearer dry, cool and comfortable. BrightSkyn provides a high visibility option in 3 different fabric weights and Thermoskyn harnesses the power of nanotechnology, controlling body climate and boasting superior stain, water and oil resistant properties.
