Featuring technologically-advanced materials and fabrics that are more breathable, more resistant to water absorption and offer greater range of movement, the NHL and Rbk designed a uniform that better complements today's game. More than two years of extensive research, development and testing were performed with player feedback integral to the process …quot; from direct on-ice product testing to feedback in the dressing rooms at team practice sessions.
"The Rbk EDGE is the real deal,” said Tampa Bay Lightning forward Vincent Lecavalier. “You can't believe it until you've tried it in practice. It is so much lighter than what we have today ... the air seems to flow right through you and it takes in almost no moisture. It definitely makes me feel faster. It's unbelievable."
The Rbk EDGE Uniform features innovative materials designed to provide comfort and improved compatibility with equipment while helping to enhance player performance. Highlights include: -Four lighter fabrics incorporated in the jersey, pants and socks to keep players drier while also adding increased durability to the uniform. -The jersey's stretch fabric in the collar features Rbk's innovative PLAYDRY moisture management technology to maximize comfort, breathability and temperature control. -The stretch mesh in areas including the underarms and back provides additional range of motion and increased ventilation. -4Way Stretch Pique features Rbk's latest innovation, BEAD AWAY water repellent technology. The 4Way Stretch Pique offers freedom of movement while retaining 76 percent less moisture than the current NHL jersey. -X-trafil is incorporated into high-abrasion areas such as the shoulders and elbows to provide increased durability.
