ENGINEERED INTO THE YARN. BUILT TO LAST.
* TECHNOLOGY - FIBER LEVEL COOLING PLATFORM
KinetiCool® is an intrinsic cooling platform, performance lives inside the fiber itself, delivered by a dual-path mechanism of thermal response and moisture-driven evaporation.
// PLATFORM · WHAT LIVES INSIDE THE YARN
COOLING MINERALS, PERMANENTLY EMBEDDED.
High-conductivity cooling minerals are integrated directly into the fiber's polymer matrix, paired with engineered surface architecture that accelerates moisture transport across the fabric.
Because the cooling mechanism is intrinsic to the yarn itself, performance holds across washes, wear, and time. There are no surface coatings to break down, no finishes to wash out, and no performance fade across the life of the garment. Specifiable across virgin, recycled, and bio-based polymer systems — engineered to drop into your existing supply path.

HIGH EFFUSIVITY. ACTIVE DISPERSAL.
KinetiCool's thermal effusivity is engineered high, heat moves from skin to fabric almost instantly, delivering an immediate cool-to-touch response. The cooling minerals embedded in the fiber act as conductive pathways, drawing heat away faster than virgin polyester or conventional LDPE cooling yarns.
Engineered fiber surfaces also reflect and disperse infrared energy across the fabric, preventing localized hot zones and keeping the cooling response even from edge to edge.

/ MECHANSIM 02 · EVAPORATION
ARCHITECTURAL FIBERS, AMPLIFIED EVAPORATION.
KinetiCool's fiber architecture is shaped to move moisture rapidly across the fabric surface, expanding the evaporation footprint and accelerating latent heat loss. As movement and perspiration build, cooling intensifies, the harder you push, the more responsive the system.
In KinetiCool® GROOVE and GROOVE PRO, the engineered fiber geometry broadens further, deepening the moisture transport network for elevated and maximum cooling response, calibrated for sport and high-exertion environments.
