Myshapes, a 100% Italian company, has designed garments that are able to exploit the full potential of Emana smart yarn, developed by Solvay and manufactured and distributed in Europe exclusively by Fulgar, an Italian company leader in the production of nylon and covered yarns.

The company used the performance version of Emana technology in two of its latest collections, including Active, dedicated to women, and S-Man Fire, designed for men.

Performance

The properties of Emana may differ depending on the type of product selected from the range. According to the manufacturer, whilst Emana Beauty is designed to contribute more to skin firmness and smoothness, whilst the Emana Performance version, used for Myshapes garments, is specifically recommended for physical training.

Emana is a polyamide yarn with bioactive minerals that are said to benefit the body and skin. The yarn heat from the human body returns it in the form of long infrared rays. Several independent university and research institute studies have shown that the yarn increases the elasticity of the skin and reduces signs of cellulite.

In sportswear, Emana is said to help athletes to reduce muscle fatigue and to recover faster. The latest Emana business segment is denim. The benefits of Emana based textiles are permanent, regardless of the number of washings.

Benefits

Emana Performance is said to promote several benefits:

  • it accelerates muscle recovery (if you wear the garment six hours a day after exercising)
  • it reduces muscle fatigue
  • it helps improve sport performances (if you wear the garment 30 minutes before a
  • physical training session)
  • it guarantees maximum comfort and wellbeing
