Koolflex ™ is a light, cool and
comfortable product constructed of a poly-nylon blend core body with
a poly-spandex blend outer cover, which enhances air flow. This
light weight, open cell structure allows air to pass easily through
the material. With Koolflex’s™ unique knitting construction,
perspiration is wicked from the side next to the body to the outside
layer of the fabric where it is evaporated, thus retarding bacterial
growth. There are no know dermatological problems associated with
this material, as there is no crude oil latex used in the
manufacturing of Koolflex ™. This material also has adequate stretch
and memory for a better fit.
New Options Sports adds even more quality to this material by
finishing the products using an elastic bias tape border around the
outer edges, which prevents the material from fraying, but does not
compromise the stretch and memory of the material.
Koolflex™ is not a replacement for neoprene. Neoprene will give more
compression and warmth because of the compact cell structure.
Koolflex™ is a great alternative to neoprene for people who have to
wear supports for long periods of time or that have heat or allergy
issue with neoprene.
