Unifi Introduces AIO All-In-One Performance Yarns

A revolution in performance fabric that combines multiple properties in a single yarn

Greensboro, NC - Outdoor enthusiasts and athletes are constantly looking for new ways to enhance their performance apparel, while maintaining focus on three key elements - fashion, function and performance. Whether hiking, biking, climbing or running, today's performance apparel is expected to perform multiple functions in a variety of conditions while maintaining its comfort, performance and shape.

Unifi's revolutionary new aio all-in-one performance yarns combine multiple properties for outstanding performance, allowing wearers to focus on what they are doing and not on what their clothes are doing. The aio all-in-one performance yarns can incorporate any combination of properties such as wicking, stretch, antimicrobial and UV protection into a single performance yarn.

"With aio all-in-one performance yarns, you can get all of the performance properties you want and need, in any combination," said Roger Berrier, commercial operations manager for Unifi Inc. "These yarns can be fully customized, with an endless range of possibilities and applications, and the properties are inherent in the yarn so it is made for endurance and permanent performance."

The properties in the aio all-in-one performance yarns are built on Unifi's proven performance brands.

  • Sorbtek is a permanent moisture management yarn that catches moisture, moves it to the outer layer of fabrics and releases it for quick evaporation, keeping the wearer cool, dry and comfortable. Additionally, Sorbtek offers breathability and stain release properties to fabrics and garments.
  • A.M.Y. is a hypoallergenic, non-toxic, bacteriostatic yarn that provides permanent anti-microbial protection against microbes that cause foul odors, discoloration, mildew and apparel degradation.
  • Reflexx provides stretch, strength, durability, color retention and easy care properties.
  • Mynx UV offers permanent sun protection of up to 50-plus UPF rating, depending on fabric color and construction.
