NILIT, a unique natural material made additive, is drawn<br />
from coffee residue and coffee-beans shells. This is<br />
added to the extruder during the spinning process, via<br />
micron meter size particles. A small percentage of oxide<br />
particles is added to improve effectiveness and for better<br />
washing resistance. The additive is proven to be skin<br />
friendly, and is harmless to the human body. The special<br />
composition of the coffee carbon together with the oxide<br />
absorbs the body heat and captures it for an extended<br />
period of time. This activity is most effective when the<br />
fabric is used as base layer nearest to the body, allowing<br />
the complex structure of the additive to capture our body temperature, isolate it<br />
and keep it in the garment. Superior thermal insulation, comfortable sweat free<br />
sensation. Powerful deodorising effect. Effective anti-bacterial properties. Natural<br />
colour and dye free.<br />

Zhik’s Avlare® shirts hate water. These highly<br />
technical tops are made from Avlare fabric,<br />
a revolutionary fibre containing an extremely<br />
durable, water repellent technology. The result<br />
is a totally hydrophobic fabric, where spray<br />
and rain simply roll off it. Avlare is extremely<br />
lightweight, air permeable with a four-way<br />
stretch that bounces right back, making these<br />
tops comfortable to wear for athletic activity<br />
and in warm conditions. It is highly breathable,<br />
yet keeps you warm due to its ability to block<br />
out both wind chill and water. Being soft and<br />
light, its lasting water repellence is ideal for<br />
all watersports enthusiasts, including crew.<br />
Tailored for both men and women in short<br />
and long-sleeves tees, Avlare weighs just one<br />
quarter the weight of wet Spandex used for<br />
rash vests.<br />
