YONEX 12099EX Sportswear Review
YONEX, a renowned sportswear brand, introduces the 12099EX model, suitable for all sports enthusiasts. Although the price range is currently unknown, the product features a range of innovative technologies that set it apart. The 20236EX model is expected to hit the market soon, offering a unique blend of comfort and performance. Here’s an overview of its standout features:
1. Very Cool Mesh Design: Utilizing xylitol derived from birch and corn, this fabric absorbs heat upon contact with moisture, offering continuous cooling during physical activity. YONEX’s pioneering application of xylitol in sportswear is complemented by a special thread cross-section, unique weaving structure, and moisture-absorbing polymers, creating a capillary effect. This results in rapid sweat absorption and enhanced breathability, achieving quick-drying capabilities approximately twice as effective as cotton, ensuring a comfortable feel inside the garment. Under conditions of 30°C temperature, 60% humidity, and 2m/s wind speed, after 15 minutes of exercise, the internal temperature of the garment is about 3°C lower compared to 100% polyester products, making it the optimal functional sportswear.
2. 3D Stitching: The new YONEX polyester quick-dry badminton shirt features a breathable mesh design, enhancing air permeability and accelerating the flow of heat within the garment. This helps to expel heat to the outside quickly, preventing a rise in internal temperature and providing greater comfort than traditional cotton fabrics.
3. Moisture-Wicking and Quick-Drying: The new fabric uses a special thread cross-section, unique weaving structure, and special moisture-absorbing polymers to create a capillary physical phenomenon. It rapidly absorbs sweat and enhances breathability, achieving a quick-drying effect. This prevents the garment from sticking to the body due to sweat, maintaining a comfortable sensation at all times. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance is approximately twice that of traditional cotton fabrics, ensuring comfort even in extremely hot weather.
4. Anti-Static: The new fabric badminton shirt incorporates an anti-static design, effectively eliminating static electricity effects.
Color options include white and black. The fabric is quick-drying, made of VeryCOOL 100% Polyester, with the same material used for the lining. Sizing information is not provided.
