The Breakdown: GEN TYPE™ Construction

GEN TYPE™ is precision engineered from a recycled, four-way stretch fabric that’s made up of 45% nylon, 40% recycled nylon and 15% elastane. This combination means it’s resilient and sustainable, and it empowers a full range of movement.

What sets GEN TYPE™ apart is its ability to hold and support without restriction, maintaining these properties over time.

The Technology Inside GEN TYPE™

GEN TYPE™ is defined by two key technologies: Ultra-Wick™ and RECycle™.

Ultra-Wick™ is our moisture-wicking system that moves sweat to the outer fabric surface via micro-spaces within the material’s construction. This allows the moisture to spread and evaporate rapidly, keeping your body dry and helping to regulate your body temperature more effectively. 

RECycle™ is the driving force behind our sustainability initiatives. The technology uses landfill-diverted materials and fuses them with natural or virgin fibres. The result is stronger, more resilient new products that will endure daily wear without losing their properties.

Here’s the breakdown of what to expect when you wear GEN TYPE™ for your next workout:

  • All-way stretch
  • Active evaporation
  • Moisture wicking
  • High-density abrasion-resistant construction
  • Ultra-Wick™ technology
  • RECycle™ nylon
How to Care for GEN TYPE™ Garments

GEN TYPE™ is fitted with specific bacteria-fighting properties that mean less frequent washing is encouraged. To maximise the potential staying power of your GEN TYPE™ pieces, follow our garment care guidance:

  • Cold water wash with mild detergent (without fabric softener) on a 30-minute cycle
  • Turn inside out to protect branding
  • Avoid washing with fluffy towels or fleece to prevent lint transfer
  • Air dry in the shade
