Fabric of Choice
RE-DEFINE STRONG
The Eminence is prepared with performance functionality at the heart of its construction and designed with recreational, understated sophistication. It is built using a ripstop fabric, woven by an Italian mill that’s globally renowned for their advanced materials. With 1% carbon added to the blend, the fabric boasts exceptional tensile strength, elevated strength-to-weight ratio and a high-tolerance to temperature. The ripstop’s structured composition ensures longevity of form and a resistance to tearing or creasing. The generous elastane component allows full freedom of motion without drag, accommodating vigorous movements.
