Key categories Today we are going to finish talk about categories. Let's start with another layer. Base Layer Base layers are all about moisture wicking. They are created to be right against your skin and keep you dry. You likely knew about these materials or wore them. Most famous of them that I know about is Nike DriFit and Adidas Climacool. Pants Techwear pants don't enjoy so much popularity as techwear shells. But now they are a growing segment of the market. Not techwear brands create pants or jeans like techwear pants. For example, Levi's showed classic pant for biking that allow free and easy movement while on the go.

Acronym's team show in their videos martial arts movements performed in their pieces. I think it is great achievement for all techwear industry.
