01SK / Surface
Scale knit
Overlapping filament rows open under load and close at rest, moving air the way a shed skin moves light.

02SK / Surface
Thermal split
Two densities, one garment. Dense at the core for heat retention, sheer at the flush zones for dump.
03SK / Surface
Seamless plane
Chamfered panel joins replace stitched corners. No ridge, no hot spot, no chafe origin.
04SK / Surface
Kinetic return
Compression mapped to muscle vector, returning a measured fraction of every stride back to the stride.
Friction is a design failure, not a rite of passage.

One continuous knit. Nothing to rub, nothing to bunch, nothing between intent and movement.
Section 04 — Specification
Phase-mapped knit density holds 0.4 clo at rest and vents to 0.12 clo under sustained output. Tested 4°C to 34°C ambient.
Bonded chamfer joins, zero raised seam. 210 km continuous trial, no abrasion recorded at thigh, axilla, or scapula.
Graduated 18–24 mmHg mapped along fascial lines, not garment panels. Movement is assisted, never resisted.
68% recycled polyamide, 32% elastane filament. Silver-ion finish, 60-wash retention of hand and recovery.
Second skin means second skin. Take your true measurement; the knit does the rest across a 6 cm tolerance band.
