From full waterproof capability to maximum breathability to optimal heat dissipation, all of our technical fabrics bring the highest performance level possible, allowing more riders everywhere to unleash their full performance.

TransTextura
Rapid Moisture Wicking
TransTextura fabric is engineered with permanent denier gradient transfer technology using capillary action to pull moisture away from the skin to the fabric surface for rapid evaporation and quick drying.
Optimal Air Permeability
TransTextura’s knitted fabric featuring micro vents to increase breathability offers ultimate air permeability, keeping you cool and comfortable as the mercury rises.
4-Way Stretch Knit
Strong elastic fibers are knitted to create a 4-way stretch to meet the dynamic needs of performance cycling.

ProTextura Fabric
Water Protection
ProTextura Fabric is tested to withstand 10,000mm of water pressure, which means it will keep you dry and protected in even the heaviest of downpours.
Wind Protection
ProTextura Fabric is densely woven and highly wind resistant, offering air permeability but still protecting your body temperature from the sudden drop caused by wind chill.
Moisture & Warmth Control
No matter the ambient temperature, your body still sweats when you’re moving. Giant ProTextura Fabric boasts 10,000g/m2 of breathability, allowing water vapor to escape so you can stay comfortable.
ProTextura Fabric
ThermTextura
Moisture Vapor Dispersion
Even on cold days, your body does not stop sweating, which can be uncomfortable if moisture stays trapped. ThermTextura fabric is highly breathable and allows moisture vapor to escape, allowing you maintain a comfortable temperature as you ride.
Heat Retention
ThermTextura's exclusive lofted fleece creates thermal pockets that retain body warmth but allow excess heat to escape before it can cause moisture saturation and discomfort.
