The conceptual TERRACROSS x UNIQLO jacket and base layer have been designed by Rafał Czaniecki as a series of garments that are focused on the needs of athletes, while taking advantage of the advanced materials of today. The clothing is achieved using fabric mixed with tech wear properties, which provides just the right level of padding, heat retention and venting for athletes to appreciate during training. This is further enhanced with the use of a spray-on nano coating that will keep the wind out, while also preventing water from permeating.
The conceptual TERRACROSS x UNIQLO jacket and base layer make use of a 3D nano/lock knit that will help with the aforementioned heat mention, which works by trapping warm air within the layers.
