T18-08: elastic tape with moisture management channel
In the world of technical sportswear, comfort depends on every single component of the garment. It’s not just fabrics that influence performance, but also elements like elastic bands, which are designed to ensure support, comfort, and proper moisture management during physical activity.
T18-08: the elastic band that promotes breathability and quick drying thanks to the duct construction
In the world of technical sportswear, comfort depends on every single component of the garment. It’s not just fabrics that influence performance, but also elements like elastic bands, which are designed to ensure support, comfort, and proper moisture management during physical activity.
Among the must-haves of the Versatility 2026 campaign, T18-08 was created precisely to meet this need, thanks to a construction designed to improve breathability and promote faster drying.
What is T18-08
T18-08 is a technical elastic tape developed for high-performance sports applications, where sweat management is a fundamental requirement.
Its peculiarity is a special construction with integrated channels, designed to facilitate the transport of moisture from the surface in contact with the body towards the outside of the belt. This process helps keep skin drier and improves comfort even during intense and prolonged activities.
T18-08 is made of super light and thin polyester microfiber. It is available in 45mm and can be developed in more than 100 colors available per folder.
The channel structure that optimizes moisture management
The surface of T18-08 is characterized by a series of longitudinal channels that promote the outward migration of sweat.
This particular structure creates a preferential path for moisture, accelerating its dispersion and promoting rapid evaporation.
The result is an elastic band that offers: greater breathability, extra quick drying and a pleasant feeling of comfort on the skin even during sports activities.
Technical characteristics of the T18-08
- Integrated chute structure for sweat management (Moisture transfer chenneled elastic tape)
- lightness and low volume, with quick drying and less thickness on the body.
- high elastic modulus, useful for stabilizing the bottom in bibshorts, the lower leg and the waist.
- softness to the touch, designed for comfortable skin contact even in prolonged use.
- thread dyed, for color fastness and reliability in shades.
- white print suitable for sublimation, for graphic designs and branding on the tape.
Cycling and sportswear applications
Designed for cycling and technical sportswear, T18-08 is the ideal choice for making suspenders.
In this area of the garment, constantly in contact with the skin and subject to high sweating, its duct construction helps promote the transport of moisture to the outside, improving comfort and speed of drying.
Availability and variants in the collection
Within the Basic Collection, T18-08 is available in different versions to differentiate aesthetics and performance based on the project.
Available versions:
- T18-08 Solid color, black and white.
- T18-08 bicolor and melange.
- T18-08 recycled GRS certified.
- T18-08 High Tech, for developments with high-tech category performance yarns.
- T18-08 jacquard; one of the latest news.
Why choose T18-08
T18-08 was created to improve the comfort of technical garments through more efficient humidity management.
Its duct construction promotes the transport of sweat to the outside of the tape, contributing to greater breathability and faster drying.
A solution designed to accompany the evolution of modern sportswear, where performance, comfort and innovation must coexist in every detail.
