Technical Definitions

Kustom Kit's guide to understanding our technical terminology.

FABRIC

Cooltex Plus - This is a high-tech fabric that has been engineered to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Our innovative fabric is knitted from multi-channel polyester fibres that speed moisture to the outer surface. The figure of eight shape of the fibres allow moisture to be drawn quickly away from the skin, maximising evaporative and cooling performance.

Ringspun Combed Cotton - Yarn is combed at the spinning stage in order to draw out dead fibres creating a smooth surface.

Easy Iron - A special finish to the surface of the fabric which reduces creases and minimises ironing.

Non Iron - The fabric has been specially treated to prevent creases and all but eliminate the need for ironing. The seams are taped to ensure crispness.

Easy Care - A garment that requires minimal effort to maintain and keep in good condition. The fabric has been treated with a special finish to enhance performance, durability and washability.

Pil-resistant - The surface of the fabric has been developed to reduce the possibility of piling.

Warmtex technology - This fabric has been developed to regulate body temperature during sporting activities, keeping you warm when it’s cold and cool when warm.

Wicking - This allows moisture to be pulled from the inner layer of the material to the outside, so that sweat will evaporate more easily.

Superwash 60 - A premium fabric that allows the garment to be washed up to 60° for the removal of stubborn stains without affecting shape or colour.
