Kukri Sports is at the forefront of performance-driven fabrics, designed to empower athletes from grassroots to elite level.
In the following article, learn about the innovative materials used in Kukri’s range of sportswear, including moisture-wicking, breathable and sustainable fabrics, and how they are empowering athletes at all levels to perform at their best.
The Power of Performance Fabrics
At the heart of Kukri’s sportswear innovation are its high-performance fabrics, carefully selected to meet the varying demands of athletics, netball, rugby and many other sports.
– Moisture-wicking Technology:
Fabrics like Ascend, S-Spire, and Kohilo absorb moisture from the body, keeping athletes dry and comfortable in high-intensity sports such as netball and rugby.
– Breathability & Comfort:
Materials such as Power Knit and Blitz enhance breathability and regulate body temperature, helping athletes stay cool and comfortable in endurance sports like athletics.
– Durability & Strength:
Built to withstand contact sport like tough tackles in rugby and long endurance runs, fabrics like Blitz, Kohilo, and Tri-Stretch offer unmatched durability, ensuring athletes can push their limits in the most demanding conditions.
– Sustainability
Kukri is committed to reducing environmental impact with materials like Ri-Sist, crafted from recycled polyester to provide sustainable performance without compromise.
Empowering Teams Worldwide
Kukri’s innovative sportswear, trusted by teams like British Gymnastics, Commonwealth Sport Canada, England Athletics, and Somerset County Cricket Club, has empowered athletes worldwide. Notable examples include Loughborough Lightning Netball team, who dominated the Netball Super League to defend their title with dresses that are engineered for performance and comfort.
Similarly, Somerset County Cricket Club, with the support of Kukri, were crowned 2023 Vitality Blast champions, showcasing the strength and durability of fabrics that keep elite athletes at the top of their game.
Jason Kerr, Head Coach at Somerset County Cricket Club, said, “We have been working with Kukri for a number of years and have created an outstanding relationship. They are receptive to ideas and feedback, producing kit that not only looks good but is also comfortable to play and train in. They genuinely consider the needs of the players both on and off the pitch.”
