Fashion Fitness Wear Supplex

All new (2009/2010) Nina Bucci Pants/Capris have a new Supplex Technology.

When you try them they will feel smaller, but they are not; all dimensions are exactly the same. This fabric is the same old  Supplex, but with a different formulation of fabric softener developed with our manufacturer and BEBE Sport in order to give you more support and compression.

 At the beginning it will have a better and strong compression, that will adjust to your body and after some uses/washes the garment will have the same old feel but a little more support.

 Compression Explained:

Compression is the ability of a fabric to hold skin/muscle (and everything in between) in place, avoiding excessive bouncing movement, shaping the body and helping in staying warm. This process allows the body to function more efficiently, looks better and recover from exercise more quickly.

 Nina Bucci has a commitment to produce highly functional garments for exercise while keeping the fashion and beauty look. After all, don’t we exercise to have a healthy life and look good?

 EXERCISE YOUR BEAUTY!  WITH NINA BUCCI

We use only SUPPLEX® with Lycra® fibers from Dupont(tm) in our products!

All our fabrics are treated with SWetOut a new and revolutionary

Moisture Control Technology. Supplex® is a  state-of-the-art nylon fabric.
Supplex® is specially engineered by DuPont to provide the soft, supple touch of cotton with the strength, durability and performance advantages of nylon.

Fiber Cross-Section Finer multiple filaments make Supplex® flexible, lightweight and 26%–36% softer than standard nylon fabrics . And unlike cotton, it won't wrinkle, shrink or fade.

Clothes in Supplex® stay new-looking longer. So your bodywear, swimwear, jackets, pants and shorts will hold their great shape and vibrant color — as only nylon can — through sun, surf and repeated washings and dryings. And they'll never fuzz or pill.
Supplex vs Cotton DuPont certified Supplex® is also as strong as it is soft—resisting abrasions, punctures and tears. It's also breathable and odor-, wind- and water-resistant. When Supplex® does get wet, it dries in a flash—drying faster than cotton by a whopping 56 minutes

In blends with Lycra® brand elastane, Supplex® combines cottony-soft comfort with the gentle support, superb fit and great freedom of movement that only Lycra® can bring. It's a practical fusion of softness and stretch — with Lycra® stretching up to 500%, then springing back to its original shape. Look for the soft, hugging fit of Supplex® with Lycra® bodywear, swimwear, activewear, aerobicwear, leggings  and tights.

 

SWETOUTTM

 

The new and revolutionary technology that uses the EXOSMOSE concept to remove and transport sweat and moisture from the skin to the outer layer of the fabric.

 

How it works:

 

1- The inner layer of the fabric absorbs the moisture in big “chunks” from the skin without holding it;

 

2- The special treated fibers (water-repellent) in the middle layer conduct the sweat to the outer layer, that has finer multiple filaments created by a very special touchless brush that uses extremely high air pressure trough hundred of nozzles, the incoming moisture is then broke  in smaller and smaller molecules;

 

3- At the increased surface area of the microscopic fibers, the moisture that was absorbed from the inner layers is distributed all over the filaments converting the moisture in an almost vapor state and with the help of the body heat moving from the skin makes it very easy to evaporate!
