ISKO launches an innovative technology, focusing on lifestyle and personal wellbeing products.
Building on the exponentially growing trend for wellbeing products in many consumer sectors, ISKO has leveraged its expertise in developing innovative technologies to create ISKO RHEACT, its own wellbeing product for the apparel industry. Available exclusively to ISKO’s trade partners, ISKO RHEACT is extremely versatile and suitable for use in a variety of consumer sectors, from lifestyle, to fitness and workwear. The different patented fabric options mean that it will appeal to a wide cross-section of people with varying lifestyle interests.
Taking inspiration from psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of “the state of flow” (also commonly referred to as being “in the zone”), ISKO RHEACT combines the name Rhea, the Greek goddess of flow, and the word “action” which refers to the state of readiness and awareness that comes from a state of flow.
ISKO RHEACT stands out for its woven, gradual compression technology that helps boost the energy of the wearer through improved blood flow. It also provides a micro massaging effect by varying pressure in different areas of a garment.
ISKO RHEACT is superior to knit compression as it works for up to 12 hours (compared to 3 hours) for any type of lifestyle – whether it’s taking a long-haul flight, lounging at home or during or after a workout where it helps with warming up before exercise and improves post-workout recovery. From a consumer standpoint, this translates to a garment that wears like a second skin, is durable, works to focus the mind, sharpens the senses, and energizes the body.
ISKO RHEACT products are certified by the independent Hohenstein Institute
(Bönnigheim, Germany) and have received the endorsement of many physicians for their health and wellbeing benefits. They are also acknowledged by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as general wellness products as per section 513(g) of the FD&C Act.
