Health, comfort and performance during training with Vygma
Have you ever imagined training in garments made from tea leaf fibre?
With Vygma, UYN’s new women’s training collection, that idea becomes reality.
Building on the expertise developed in recent years in innovative materials derived from natural fibres, engineered to enhance both comfort and performance for the athletes who wear them, UYN has carried out extensive studies and testing that revealed the potential of tea fibre for technical sportswear.
Behind this innovation is AREAS, the research and development centre of Trerè Innovation, UYN’s parent company. The team’s work has made it possible to transform a particularly valuable natural fibre into a material suitable for performance apparel. The result is a garment that follows the body in motion while bringing some of the natural properties of the plant directly into contact with the skin.
"During the early stages of research we were particularly interested in the composition of the fibre. Apocynum Tea has a very interesting cellulose structure and many natural properties. We wanted to understand whether these characteristics could translate into a tangible benefit when used in sportswear."
What does it mean to wear tea fibre?
Tea fibre (Apocynum Tea), has many natural properties and, has an antibacterial effect. When spun into yarn and engineered into a textile structure, these characteristics help create a material that is highly breathable and particularly gentle on the skin.
During wear testing, one aspect quickly stood out: the sensation on contact with the skin. The combination of softness, lightness and breathability makes the garment especially comfortable throughout physical activity.
“What struck us most in the first prototypes was the sensation on the skin. It wasn’t simply softness — the fibre seems to create a very stable sense of thermal balance, particularly during phases of continuous movement”
What other natural fibres can be worn?
Tea fibre is just one of the directions explored by AREAS, which for years has been working with plant-based raw materials with the aim of progressively reducing the use of synthetic fibres.
Within the Vygma collection, tea fibre is combined with Natex, a fibre derived from castor beans. Compared with conventional nylon, Natex is lighter and allows the fabric to dry more quickly, helping garments remain stable and comfortable even during longer training sessions.
Not just premium materials, but technology as well.
Research into natural materials goes hand in hand with the development of construction technologies designed to enhance their properties. For the Vygma collection, the product team focused on garment structure to improve adaptability and freedom of movement.
Flexy Ribs introduces three-dimensional structures that allow the fabric to stretch and return easily to its original shape, following the body’s movements. Drylight, a lightweight and highly breathable mesh structure, promotes moisture dispersion and accelerates sweat evaporation. Hypermotion, meanwhile, integrates the shoulders and torso into a single continuous structure, reducing the number of seams and allowing movement to feel more fluid and unrestricted.
“When working with natural fibres, the way the garment is constructed becomes even more important. These technologies allow the fabric to adapt to movement and make the most of the material’s inherent properties.”

What types of training is Vygma designed for?
Vygma is designed to support a wide range of women’s training activities, from yoga and Pilates sessions to weight training, functional workouts and bodyweight exercises. The garments are built to adapt to different levels of intensity while maintaining comfort and stability in motion.
Long-sleeved shirts, shrugs and leggings are designed for slower, more controlled activities, while tops, cropped T-shirts and shorts are particularly suited to more dynamic workouts, where breathability and lightness become essential.
Training in Vygma means experiencing a new balance between natural materials, scientific research and technical garment design, an approach that aims to improve comfort during physical activity and make the relationship between body, movement and apparel feel increasingly natural.
