Nature never fails to amaze us. Nature gives us KAPOK, a precious and totally organic fibre obtained from the fruit of the Ceiba Pentandra, a sacred plant that grows up to 60 metres high, widespread in the rainforests of South America. Known as 'vegetable wool' for its extraordinary lightness, KAPOK fibre has only recently been used in the textile industry for padding cushions and mattresses. We at UYN were the first to succeed in using the natural yarn in sportswear - as a fabric with exceptional active properties and not as padding. <h3>THE WORLD' S LIGHTEST NATURAL FIBRE</h3> KAPOK is a hollow fibre composed of 80% air, with a very low density (0.35 g/cm3). Because of this, Kapok is the lightest natural fibre in the world. <h3>NATURALLY INSULATING</h3> The structure allows the KAPOK fibre to trap a large amount of body-warmed air thus creating an insulating barrier that protects against temperature changes. <h3>SOFT AND HYPOALLERGENIC</h3> High-quality and soft, it dries quickly, is hygroscopic and has natural antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties. <h3>TOTALLY ORGANIC</h3> KAPOK fibre grows wild in pristine forests, no intensive cultivation is required and the fiber is harvested by hand. No fertilizers or pesticides are used in its cultivation.

BIOLIGHT is a plant-based fibre that gives UYN garments unique characteristics. Derived from the cellulose of beech plants, this fibre is smooth, soft and bright, and provides and extremely pleasant touch. BIOLIGHT is characterised by its breathable properties and its ability to retain moisture (twice as much as cotton). Thanks to its structure, BIOLIGHT fabric helps to keep the skin cool and dry. <h3>BOTANIC ORIGIN</h3> Extracted from the beech tree from responsibly managed forests <h3>100% BIODEGRADABLE</h3> Born from nature, returns to nature <h3>SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE</h3> Retains twice as much moisture as cotton, is pleasantly soft and light

FLEXICORN is a plant-based bio-polyester. Extraordinarily elastic and resilient, it keeps its original shape longer, it is wrinkle resistant and UV-resistant. FLEXICORN has made it possible for us to replace synthetic elastane fibres with a recyclable, more sustainable and less polluting material. This innovative yarn is derived from corn which isn’t used for human consumption and glucose fermentation. With FLEXICORN we have reduced energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the impact of our products on the environment. <h3>FROM VEGETABLE INGREDIENTS</h3> FLEXICORN's polymer is produced using corn seeds, vegetable ingredients from renewable sources <h3>HIGHLY ELASTIC</h3> Due to the micro-zig-zag structure, it always bounces back to its original shape <h3>QUICK-DRYING</h3> The FLEXICORN fibre is breathable and increases the drying speed of the garment

The wood obtained from Eucalyptus trees becomes ECOLYPT, a 100% sustainable natural fiber with exceptional properties. The characteristics of the pulp of the wood from which it is obtained give ECOLYPT strength and great elasticity. Its structure is composed of very small hydrophilic fibers that absorb up to 50% more moisture than cotton. In addition, the fiber is highly breathable, minimizes the formation of odors and thanks to its temperature regulating properties is able to provide a cooling effect in hot temperatures and warm in cold days. The entire production process of ECOLYPT fiber is characterized by a closed loop: all water and enzymes are recovered and reused in a further production process.

With the special NATEX yarn, UYN lets nature work for your wellbeing. NATEX is especially light and reduces the weight by 25 percent. NATEX garments dry up to 50 percent faster than comparable nylon clothing. The 100 %-natural organic fiber is more elastic and the bacteriostatic effect minimizes odors.
