Mountain biking gear and apparel specialist, Fox Racing, has released a RAWTEC collection designed with engineered fabrics. These focus on enhanced breathability, mobility, durability, and overall comfort for on-trail performance.
Featuring a men’s and women’s jersey and pant, RAWTEC is a special project launched to pressure-test engineered jacquard fabrics for on-trail performance benefits.
Keegan Rehfeldt, Director of Design, Performance at Fox Racing, said “Like the SpeedSuit RS that we debuted on our downhill and motocross athletes, RAWTEC is intended to push the boundaries of performance and design for riding apparel.
“It wasn’t born from a business brief, but rather from a desire to inform the future of equipping athletes, sourcing fabrics, construction techniques, and more.
“By manufacturing with an engineered jacquard fabric, the RAWTEC jersey and pant features strategically placed ventilation and abrasion panels for added cooling and durability benefits. This enables more mobility and overall comfort by using less materials and seams than a traditional jersey or pant.”
The release of Fox Racing’s RAWTEC Collection is the last instalment of the brand’s 50th anniversary celebration.
The men’s and women’s RAWTEC Long Sleeve Jerseys are US$124.95 and feature an engineered jacquard TruDri main body for increased cooling, stretch nylon sleeve panels for durability, and bonded seams with stretch cuffs for maximum comfort.
The men’s and women’s RAWTEC Pants are US$269.95 and feature integrated and engineered abrasion resistance panels for durability and weight-savings. Also included are TruMotion all-way stretch fabric for mobility, a durable, water-repellent finish for shedding moisture and debris, and stretch nylon on the leg for increased comfort.
