Performance Character
Carvico® ARTICA combines a smooth, durable technical outer face with a soft brushed reverse for warmth and comfort against the body. Its double-face construction is particularly useful for garments designed to move with the wearer.
With 15% elastane and four-way stretch, this fabric suits close-fitting and articulated sportswear, while the brushed interior makes it attractive for cool-weather training, outdoor layers and performance apparel.
The water-repellent outer surface helps shed light moisture, but the fabric should not be described as fully waterproof. Performance will depend on garment design and construction.
