As outdoor sports become increasingly popular, base-layer sportswear performing well in moisture absorption, quick drying, and heat retention are more favored by the market and consumers, because this kind of sportswear can protect children from getting cold due to untimely sweat release. To this end, the Seamless-Woven Quick-Dry Sportswear Series was born. The boys' style takes bamboo charcoal fiber as raw materials, coupled with advanced moisture-absorption quick-drying technology. During sports, the inner hydrophilic bamboo charcoal fiber can quickly absorb the sweat of kids, alongside the outer nylon-spandex (Lycra) yarn to facilitate fast heat dissipation, keeping children dry all the time. Inspired by the natural honeycomb microporous feature of bamboo charcoal, this sportswear series applies a heterostructure with carved holes in its surface, aided by technological anti-bacterial additives, to be fluffy while absorbing sweat and odor, bringing children a comfortable and healthy wearing experience. It also merges bamboo charcoal far-infrared heating technology to reflect heat to the human body, reducing the loss of thermal infrared radiation to be warmer. The girls' style features fabrics made from polypropylene fiber and Nilit nylon. The moisture absorption difference between fabrics of inner and outer layers creates a siphonic effect to achieve one-way moisture wicking and quick drying, thus helping cool kids quickly when sweating. In addition, the far-infrared heat retention function supports far infrared heating of over 1.6 degrees Celsius, making this sportswear warm. 

This series continues the brand's kids-friendly design concept. It adopts a seamless woven cut to fit children, reduce friction, and improve comfort. Multiple weaving techniques are applied to different perspiration areas to enhance moisture wicking and protection.
