ION TIGER Technology
PERFORMANCE.
ENGINEERED
DIFFERENTLY.
Copper-Iron Infused Technology and lightweight construction—
engineered for comfort when performance matters.
The Problem
COTTON WASN'T
BUILT FOR
PERFORMANCE.
Cotton is comfortable for everyday wear, but during intense activity its natural absorbency can become a disadvantage.
Instead of efficiently moving perspiration away from the body, cotton absorbs and retains moisture. As the fabric becomes saturated, it can feel heavier, take longer to dry and become increasingly uncomfortable.
ABSORBS MOISTURE
Cotton readily absorbs perspiration into its fibres.
DRIES SLOWLY
Retained moisture can leave the garment wet for longer.
CAN FEEL HEAVY
As cotton absorbs more moisture, the garment gains weight.
HOLDS ONTO ODOUR
Moisture and compounds from perspiration can contribute to lingering odours in the fabric.

Ion Tiger Performance Fabric
MANAGES MOISTURE.
The Ion Tiger System
THREE TECHNOLOGIES.
ONE PERFORMANCE SYSTEM.
MAGNETIK WICK™
Engineered to move perspiration away from the skin and distribute moisture across the fabric surface, helping it evaporate more efficiently.
COPPER-MATRIX™
Copper-Iron Infused Technology forms the functional core of Copper-Matrix™, designed to complement the fabric’s performance characteristics and support garment freshness.
PERFORMANCE CORE™
The structural foundation combines lightweight construction, breathability, flexibility and durability for performance without sacrificing everyday comfort.
How It Works
PERFORMANCE STARTS
AT FIBRE LEVEL.
01
Sweat forms
Heat and activity create perspiration at the skin.
02
Magnetik Wick™
Moves moisture away from the skin.
03
Moisture disperses
Moisture spreads across a wider fabric surface.
04
Faster evaporation
Helps the garment dry more efficiently.
Material Science
THE SCIENCE BEHIND COPPER.
Copper has been extensively studied for its antimicrobial properties. Its use in functional textiles has led to applications designed around hygiene, freshness and material performance.
ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES
Copper is widely studied for its ability to interact with microorganisms. In functional textiles, copper-based technologies can be incorporated to help control microbial activity within the fabric.
ODOUR MANAGEMENT
Microbial activity can contribute to unwanted garment odours. Copper-Matrix™ is designed around this relationship to support a fresher wearing experience.
INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY
Rather than treating copper as a visual feature, Ion Tiger incorporates Copper-Iron Infused Technology as part of its overall performance fabric system.
