What’s the hype around Tencel? Discover why Leatt loves this eco-friendly fabric

In keeping with its focus on performance and environmental responsibility, Leatt has introduced Tencel in a few collections, including in the All-Mountain, Gravity and Endurance jerseys. Tencel is made of a unique botanical-origin innovative fibre called Lyocell, which is derived from wood pulp sourced in Austria. Known for its eco-friendly manufacturing process and soft, comfortable cotton-like texture, Lyocell also biodegradable once disposed of. This recycled yarn leads to premium technical fabric with great performance qualities. 

 

The Benefits of Tencel 

Comfort: Tencel is incredibly soft and silky to the touch, providing a sensation of freshness and comfort all day long. 

Temperature control: Tencel is highly breathable, making it ideal for sportswear and hot climates. 

Quick drying: Tencel absorbs moisture more effectively than cotton and dries faster, keeping you dry and comfortable even on the hottest days. 

Durable: Despite its softness and biodegradable capabilities, Tencel is surprisingly durable, making it a sustainable choice for long-lasting clothing. 

Leatt’s use of Tencel brings you utterly comfortable apparel that has the same soft feel as cotton, with added performance attributes. If you're looking for comfortable, performing and environmentally friendly, Tencel is the perfect choice.
