Austria-based sportswear manufacturer Löffler GmbH has introduced a line of sports underwear featuring Transtex light, an innovative fabric comprising moisture-transporting, hydrophobic polypropylene and creora® eco H-550 — a low-heat-set elastane fiber produced by Hyosung Corp., South Korea. The lightweight, single-layered fabric is knitted using new knitting technology, and features larger ventilation holes and extremely flat and soft seams for enhanced breathability and comfort. The underwear is suitable for wearing during moderate to intense activity and in middle to high temperature ranges.

"We chose creora eco H-550 because of the fibre's gentle touch and its energy saving process," said Reinhard Hetzeneder, marketing director, Löffler. "Combined with polypropylene it is ideal to meet our high standards for moisture transportation, comfort and perfect fit."
