Furygan 37.5 Active Cool Base Layers

Furygan, the French motorcycle clothing brand, manufactures equipment and products to protect all body areas. One of their latest ranges is 37.5 Active, which includes Active long-sleeve tops and full-length pants in both Cool and Thermo. We tested the Cool range as the daytime temperatures started to rise, and we wanted to see if our bodies didn’t.

As Spring arrives, we hope for warmer weather and fewer layers when riding. It is always preferable to wear comfortable clothing and not be Goldilocks, too hot or too cold, and the best way to achieve this is by using base layers. Modern base layers are far more than wearing a T-shirt under a sweatshirt; they have technology incorporated into the fabric that, in winter, will keep your body warm and, in summer, cool without sweating and without that awful wetness between your skin and clothing.

When riding, you must focus on the road, traffic, and all elements, so distractions from discomfort and issues caused by your clothing are unwanted. The 37.5 Active clothing prevents interfering thoughts caused by being too hot or cold.

37.5 is underwear for bikers who want to optimise their riding experience. 37.5® keeps the body dry regardless of the climate and level of intensity. The compression zones and seamless design provide perfect support and eliminate chafing. It is a must-have as soon as the summer heat sets in.

The active 37.5® particles, permanently integrated into the weave, give our fabrics an extraordinary capacity to capture and clear humidity by acting with the body like a natural thermostat.

The TECHNOLOGY?

37.5® is a thermoregulation technology that interacts with the body and triggers off of humidity. It’s powered by naturally occurring, activated particles.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

37.5® technology is dynamic – it works with your body to determine whether you need to be warmed or cooled based on the amount of moisture present, which is the body’s way of expressing whether it’s hot or cold. 37.5® particles capture the infrared (IR) energy emitted by your body, and if moisture is present, they speed up evaporation to cool you down. If no moisture is present, the IR energy is used to help you stay warm. In all cases, it’s a question of managing the amount of moisture close to the skin, which regulates comfort.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

37.5® Technology is a permanent technology that will last the product's lifetime. It’s not a chemical finish; the natural particles are embedded in the yarns or fibres and will never wash out.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The exclusive 37.5® technology uses active particles made from volcanic rock. These particles attract water vapour and draw it away from the garment, keeping your limbs drier for longer so you can enjoy your ride, however long it may be.

Seamless design for a perfectly smooth, snug fit all over the body. This process guarantees superior comfort without discomfort or skin irritation from rubbing during intense activity.

The design includes zones with different levels of elasticity. The benefits are a sheathing effect and support for the body in all movements.

Design based on the ergonomics developed for our world’s best racers.

To allow a perfect fit thanks to its superior elasticity.

For a garment that fits perfectly, the selection of materials, assembly techniques, and cut-outs' layout have been designed to provide maximum performance without ever creating any discomfort when worn.

Designed with materials with a high capacity to dry quickly to avoid uncomfortable residual moisture sensations

The 37.5 Active Cool range proved magnificent in its performance when we wore it in changeable spring conditions. Setting out early, even on a sunny blue sky day, can mean temperatures around freezing, but the base layers against your skin act as a splendid thermal barrier to stop you from getting too cold. When the day progresses, and the temperatures increase outside, they also increase inside your clothing. The 37.5 technology then kicks in to prevent moisture build-up and sweating. We all agree that you need at least one pair of the Furygan 37.5 pants and one of the Active Long-Sleeve tops.

The Active Long Sleeve Cool Top is £69.90, and the Active Cool Pants are £59.90
