Lyocell is more absorbent than cotton, while clothing made from it feels softer than silk and cooler than linen against the skin. The smooth surface of this single jersey helps prevent skin irritation, and the cellulose fibre's excellent moisture management limits bacterial growth. Lyocell textiles are therefore ideal for both leisure and sport.

Fabric weight: 170g/m²

We use our comfortable and durable cotton fabrics for popular basics such as T-shirts and polo shirts, which can be combined to create versatile outfits for both everyday work and leisure.

Blended fabrics combine the advantages of different fibres and are used, for example, in sweatshirts and underwear. Depending on the fibres used, they can improve stretch and shape retention, increase breathability, enhance heat retention and provide a soft and cosy feel.

Our polyester fabrics provide highly functional performance properties for outdoor and sportswear, including breathability, optimal moisture management, quick drying, sun protection and a reduction in skin temperature and heart rate.

trigema generally refrains from using animal-derived down, feathers and fur. In this way, we combine a high level of comfort with responsible practices.
