The Reggiani Group launches a new thermoregulating fabric in partnership with Outlast. The textile company based in Varallo Sesia (Vercelli) - founded in 1973 by Attilio Reggiani, a pioneer in the production of stretch fabrics, particularly wool/Lycra and cotton/Lycra, and a long-standing leader in the research and development of high quality fabrics, combining advanced technology and handcrafted creativity - has presented a revolutionary new fabric developed together with Outlast Temperature Regulation, a world leader in thermoregulating technology.

Clima Control is an 'intelligent' fabric that uses Outlast's technology to thermoregulate temperature. The result of years of joint research and development, this new fabric incorporates Outlast's patented phase change microcapsules (PCMs) that absorb, store, and release heat based on body and environmental temperature. The result is an intelligent material that offers unprecedented thermal comfort by reducing temperature fluctuations.

"This collaboration represents a natural step in the path of our Group, which has always been oriented towards the creation of cutting-edge textile solutions," says CEO Giovanni Reggiani. "With Outlast's technological know-how and our tradition in material innovation, we have created a fabric that anticipates the needs of the future," adds Managing Director Marco Spola.

The new fabric will be available for applications in high-end clothing, as well as casual and sportswear for those who do not want to compromise on total comfort, with an eye also on sustainability thanks to optimised production processes and carefully selected materials.

With this innovation, the Reggiani Group once again confirms its ability to anticipate trends and redefine standards of textile excellence.

For Reggiani Lanificio Spa, this is a second fabric revolution. "The first was made by my father some 50 years ago, when he was the first in the world to start the industrial production of wool-lycra and cotton-lycra fabrics, starting to make Lycra a valuable and innovative component of the global clothing world," explains Giovani Reggiani.

Among other novelties, Reggiani has started a collaboration with MinivervaHub, an innovative Italian industrial company in the fashion industry specialising in cutting-edge finishes, materials and processes for accessories, based in Milan and controlled by San Quirico Spa.

"Together with Vittorio Garrone, vice-president of Minerva Hub, we decided to propose all their beautiful finishes on our fabrics," continues Reggiani. "At Milano Unica we presented about forty of our samples, from trousers to the lightest fabrics, from popelins to the most unusual outerwear, with their wonderful designs. I think this is really a great novelty because it combines the know-how of two such important and historical companies, like ours and theirs, a unique platform on the Italian territory.
