Run Technology

Ārahi is a native word in Te Reo Māori, meaning to be a torchbearer, the light for which others follow. At Pressio, we are and aim to continue to be leaders in sustainable performance.

The Ārahi collection comprises two custom-made fabrications. The first is our EcoTech MF, made of 100% recycled high filament REPREVE® yarns from USA’s Unifi. Multifilament fabrication for denier and filament grading technology provides lifetime optimal chemical-free moisture management. Coupled with our EcoTech Vent, which is world-leading in lightness and 3D ventilation to keep you cool and dry. EcoTech Vent was made with GRS certified (Global Recycled Standard) approved 93% recycled polyester with 7% elastomeric for extra freedom of movement.

The Ārahi collection is constructed using Italian Framis bonding for seamless hems delivering superior comfort for everyday running. Finished with Germany’s Rudolf SILVERPLUS® triple protect anti-bacterial technology. bluesign® approved dying.

The Hāpai run collection is built around our innovative and sustainable EcoTech MF fabrication and constructed 100% recycled high filament REPREVE® yarns from USA’s Unifi.

Multifilament fabrication for denier and filament grading technology provides lifetime optimal chemical-free moisture management. Finished with Rudolf SILVERPLUS® anti-bacterial technology, which destroys odours before they start, offering you all-day protection. Dyed in a bluesign® approved dye-house and manufactured in fully audited facilities, supporting our promise to provide better products for our planet.

The Hāpai collection is perfect for all climates and is designed for all sports, from running, HIIT, or the gym.

Our Run Compression collection builds upon our "Pressio" and "Power" collection with the added feature of three rear pockets.

• A secure zip pocket for cards, keys, and coins.
• A central bonded pocket for a mobile phone with a bonded headphone cord opening.
• A mesh pocket for gels and nutrition.
• Sustainable fabric technology designed to elevate your performance

EcoTech MF has been engineered of 100% recycled REPREVE® yarns from the USA’s UniFi. This multifilament yarn structure has denier and filament grading technology that moves moisture from the layer closest to the skin (lower filament) to the outside (higher filament).

It provides a lifetime of advanced chemical-free moisture management. This fully recycled fabrication achieves moisture management characteristics not even found in pure polyester fabrication for superior performance from a sustainably lead fabric.

This 85gsm 3D knit mesh fabric creates highly technical panelling for targeted ventilation. Manufactured using GRS recycled high filament yarn technology for extreme moisture management through its filament grading technology which moves the moisture from the skin (lower filament) to the outside of the fabric (higher filament).

The 3D structure is also developed for minimal fabric to skin contact, so the fabric will stay light to you and move more freely on the body. The oval structure allows excess heat to escape, so keeping your body temperature more regulated so you can reduce the stress on the body for greater performance.

We have a world-leading run short fabrication utilising new recycled yarn yarns and the latest dissolved yarn technology. This utilises a combination of recycled PET yarns with PTT bio-based yarns, which allows stretch for added comfort without the need for fragile and heavy elastane yarns, so your shorts will last longer and stay lighter.

High-gauge and quick-dry qualities through its filament structure together with the airflow ventilation means this short fabric will stay light and move with you through even the hottest atmospheric conditions. Fabric is GRS certified, which utilises recycled waste products to help preserve the planet through lower Co2 emissions and power usage.

Framis Italia, Italy, is the pinnacle in heat welding technology, both in film and machinery, with their NoSo® Bonding Technology project. Seamless hems provide flush and fitted finishes for superior comfort and durability.

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is an international, voluntary, full product standard. They set requirements for third-party certification of recycled content, chain of custody, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions.

REPREVE® is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fibre made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles). REPREVE® has developed its verification program and maintains third-party certifications.
