More info:
MAPP matrix is a new range of technical performance fabrics from Designer Textiles of NZ with field work and testing from iRULE.
It maximises athlete comfort, assists in reducing energy loss (from temperature and moisture fluctuations) and promotes a balanced regulation of core body temperature.
At the core of MAPP Matrix is an inner base layer of 100% NZ natural merino fibre which is linked with a protective outer layer of technical performance synthetic. This outer layer deters wind and water penetration while allowing efficient, managed evaporation of sweat.
This version of MATRIX is used in our lightweight winter race garments in a version which has a closer knit soft fine merino layer and is 20% heavier then its warm weather counterpart.
D-Yokel. A design feature for optimising shoulder rotation and arm movement. iRULE does not use raglan sleeve structures as they are restrictive. We also do not elasticise sleeves for the same reason.
