UK's Versarien & OG Classic to launch graphene-enhanced fabrics

The graphene-wear formula applied to the garments will enable wearers to experience enhanced thermal transmittance, increased moisture management and drying rate of the garments. The garments will also have the graphene-wear trademark applied. Research and extensive trials conducted by Versarien and University of Gloucestershire explored the thermal and moisture management properties of graphene-enhanced sportswear against garments from high-market share brands and assessed the wearers’ perception and comfort levels whilst wearing the garments, according to a press release by Versarien.

“Graphene-wear is the next generation of sportswear technology developed by Versarien, utilising the Nobel Prize-winning advanced material graphene. Independent research has highlighted graphene-wear’s superior thermal and moisture management properties for optimal sports performance. Now, OG Classic is bringing this wonder material to the Middle East. Graphene-wear will soon be the garment technology of choice across the Middle East and beyond,” Versarien’s CEO, Neill Ricketts, said in a statement. 

“We are incredibly excited to be working with Versarien on our enhanced textiles line with their innovative graphene technology. This technology integrated into our sports, corporate and leisurewear portfolio will lend well to our customers who always require increased performance and comfort. This innovation enabled us to think about the future of fashion, and we are looking forward to seeing how graphene and our partnership with Versarien can unlock this,” Simon Lewis, managing director at OG Classic, said.
