Advanced Performance

This unique construction for cotton knitwear combined with enhanced technology creates the ultimate performance knit.

Cotton performance technologies can be added to the garment or to the yarn in specific zones to create the perfect knit for even the toughest challenges.

Water Repellent

STORM COTTON™ technology repels water with the breathability of cotton, making a functional knit look good and perform, rain or shine.

Moisture Management

Perfect for workouts inside or out, TransDRY^® and WICKING WINDOWS™ technologies wick moisture away from the skin, keeping you cool, dry, and comfortable in your performance knits.

Full Fashion Knitting

Stoll America‘s flat bed knitting machines produce fully fashioned garment pieces using inverse plaiting techniques. The garment shape is achieved on the knitting machine as each piece is knitted with no raw edges. Pieces are sewn using linking or cup seaming to create a comfortable knit for active lifestyles.

Seamless Garment Technology

Using a unique circular knit machine, the technology produces the entire garment on the machine with no assembly or linking required. The elimination of seams reduces chafing, improves range of motion, and allows the cotton fabric to conform to the shape of the body. Seamless technology also offers unique design capabilities to incorporate performance features like moisture-wicking yarns and ventilation through construction.
