The bear group

BodyControl is the underwear that I wear as the first line of defense. It is more than just a base layer, since I can wear it on chilly days as my only layer for jogging or any other outdoor sport. It looks nice on its own.

The underwear is seamless - all different structures are achieved through advanced and combined knitting and weaving processes. The only seams are used to seam the body and arms. They are so-called "flatlock seams" preventing chafing. A properly fitted compression shirt can help to prevent chafing in the upper body, such as underarms and on nipples. Multiple fabric constructions are applied to a BodyControl garment, each assigned a specific mission. Some of which are ribbed structure for optimal body fit, beehive structure for temperature regulation and waffle structure with enhanced moisture permeability power.

MicroBear is a highly functional fabric and the thinnest one in the group. The MicroBear is produced from a very thin microscopic yarn that allows the perspiration to penetrate through the fabric to the outer surface, a perfect blotting effect. It feels soft and warm. Its high-quality micro fibers give the touch of cotton, friendly to the skin. Compared to cotton it is highly functional, dries extremely fast and represents one of the functional layers.

MicroBear is an animal-friendly alternative to wool. Although it is synthetic, it shares the same or even greater characteristics than any wool , some of which are softness, breathability and odor resistance.

ThermoBear is the medium-thick fleece in the group. It has different structures and different weights. They provide versatility and warmth. It is machine washable, dries quickly and is a perfect alternative to down and wool. Compared to the latter, it dries faster, is biologically neutral and regulates my microclimate below the shell jacket more efficiently. It is my perfect thermal insulation at low temperatures.

Its structure allows the perspiration to penetrate through the fabric to the outer surface fast, and keeps me dry and warm. The air pockets trap air and isolate warmth. ThermoBear is an insulating synthetic fabric mixed with elastane which enables ergonomic cuts. It is plain and smooth, whereby the inner surface is brushed and soft.

PolarBear is the thickest, most dense in the group. It is machine washable, dries quickly, and is a perfect alternative to wool and down. Compared to the latter, it dries faster, is biologically neutral, and regulates my microclimate below the shell jacket more efficiently. It is my perfect thermal insulation at extremely low temperatures.

The fleece fabric is knitted and combed on both sides. Big air pockets and higher density of fibers enable more air to get accumulated. Trapped air is the best insulation. Perfectly smooth and well-structured fibers enable the body vapor to escape. The material does not soak any moisture so it very well supports the breathability of the shell fabric. No materials which soak moisture (like cotton) should be worn below or above any item from The BearGroup as it might jeopardize its function.

PrimaLoft Gold is an insulating layer applied in outer- or mid-layers. It is in charge of maintaining my microclimate, my body temperature, and allowing the perspiration to escape. Especially important in extreme weather conditions. The exceptional touch of design and sophisticated ergonomic details are an addition to the thermal efficiency and functionality. 

While PrimaLoft yarn is as light as down feathers, it is more efficient and higher-performing material for sports. PrimaLoft is highly breathable and water repellent. It can be easily washed in a washing machine and doesn't contract like down, dries fast and recovoers his volume entirely. Last but not least, it is animal-friendly and odor free.
