X-BIONIC MIGHTY WOOL FW25
Developed to redefine natural performance baselayers.
I led yarn research to solve merino’s core weakness — fiber fragility under high mechanical stress. The goal: engineer a reinforced merino construction that delivers thermoregulation and moisture management while meeting the durability demands of alpine skiing and winter sports.
In collaboration with a seamless supplier, I developed a lightweight, abrasion-resistant knit with next-to-skin softness. Integrated X-Bionic body-mapping structures enhance sweat dispersion, ventilation, and temperature control under dynamic conditions.
The collection includes Longsleeve, ½ Zip, Long Tights, and ¾ Tights — conceived as a modular performance system.
Color range: Black, Sand, Dip-Dye.
