The range takes the imprint's expertise in [technological elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordura-fabric) informed through the production methods with the comfort of activewear. The brand pays close attention to the freedom of movement when designing the silhouettes. It developed the 'Schematech Engineered Knit' to give a single piece of fabric many grades of textures and functions. For example, the designs can be breathable in one area and stretchy in another place. This component is merged with 'Perfoma Cut' -- this is a unique pattern cutting method that allows the clothing to have [minimal seams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-collections) and more liberty when moving around. With the blend of these two, the fabric gives wearers a natural position of forward leaning.
