Azur’s new warmer range features Artica by Carvico of Italy, crafted from a two-way stretch brushed fabric. This fabric combines hollow polyester yarn with polyamide and Lycra, offering high thermal insulation and pilling resistance. The hollow yarn optimizes the insulating properties of air, similar to how polar bears’ hollow fur provides excellent thermal insulation. ARTICA ensures maximum comfort and freedom of movement with its multidirectional stretch and offers a 50+ ultraviolet protection factor. The fabric is 25-30% lighter than standard fabrics, making garments light, high-performing, easy to care for, and durable.
