ISKO Innovates Compression Wear with Unique Tech
SKO, the largest producer of denim fabric, created buzz at the recent Per-
formance Days trade fair in Munich with the launch of Vital, the company's
first foray into compression wear. ISKO models outfitted in the Vital gar-
ments walking the convention hall turned heads and in turn drew a consis-
tent crowd to the ISKO booth for a first hand look at the Vital collection.
Several factors distinguish the new collection from conventional compres-
sion garments. Significantly, Vital is a woven compression technology platform
although the construction mimics a knit in look and feel. Integrated gradient
pressure promotes fast recovery, superior durability, decreased swelling and
enhanced sport performance. The cross-functional compression wear can be
designed for styles ranging from athletic to sportswear, and athleisure to wellness.
Resulting from a two-year study, Vital products have been certified by the
Hohenstein Institutes and acknowledged by the FDA as general wellness product. l
