This method is intended to enable precise control over the desired properties and seamless integration of individual support areas. According to Gore, the material is water-repellent and the grid structure is designed to ensure quick drying, minimal sweat absorption and optimised breathability and temperature regulation. The cup in the front is designed to protect sensitive areas and is particularly breathable according to Gore. Production waste has also been reduced through the use of the 3D printing process.
