Wood is the origin of Tencel fiber, also known as Tencel. This environmentally friendly, organic fiber is derived from cellulose and offers perfect properties for sports. Lenzing AG in Upper Austria produces the yarn in an environmentally friendly process, which is then further processed into clothing.

This fiber is the basis for many of Vicona’s products.

This silky-soft fiber impresses with its optimal regulation of body temperature. It cools in hot weather and warms in cold weather. Its high breathability ensures that sweat and moisture of the Tencel also has antibacterial properties . Sweat odor is therefore a thing of the past, even after intensive use. Your skin will thank you.
