Directa Plus Released Compression Sportswear with Graphene
Graphite product supplier Directa Plus and Italian sportswear company Deewear have worked together to develop the first gravimetric gravure-intensive compression sportswear.
With Directa Plus’s Graphene Plus (G +), D-ONE, the new sportswear line includes short-sleeved T-shirts and tights, which can be tailored to the “basic” and “advanced” versions, specifically tailored to the different requirements for both men and women.
Intellighent fabric as a filter for the body and the external environment can ensure the ideal temperature for the wearer. Using G +, the heat generated by the body can be dispersed in the hot climate; while the heat can be evenly distributed in the cold climate.
The D-ONE consists of three high-performance technical layers: the inner layer of the Directa Plus’ Graphene Plus (G +) coating, the outer layer of the intelligent compression cloth, and the “advanced” intermediate layer which can provides muscle joints and posture support.

The D-ONE provides a thermal storage property that can regulate body temperature and provides anti-odor, antibacterial, and UV protection properties. The most advantage is no use of any other chemical substances can be achieved. That’s because graphene Plus is natural, no chemical and non-toxic harmless.
At the same time, the D-ONE’s main layer is the external super-light layer of the intelligent compression cloth, which is characterized by the combination of nylon and elastic fiber “innovative network” to form an open cellular structure. Directa Plus said that this can achieve cross-cutting and seamless production of the outer layer. It provides additional comfort, the second layer of skin protection, air permeable, fresh and hygienic.
In the advanced version, there is an additional layer is based on the biomechanical in-depth analysis of the design to provide local support and compression to strengthen the body cycle and posture support.
“Running and exercising are good, but they will cause serious stressing to the joints and skeletal structure,” said Paolo Bucciol, founder and CEO of Deewear. “We discussed with a few of biomechanics experts. And we start to use high performance innovative materials and G + graphene to combining high athletic performance with muscle and joint protection. This is the origin of D-ONE. The first posture pressure sportswear Graphene Plus is 100% manufactured in Italy and can be purchased on Today Online. “Giulio Cesareo, CEO of Directa Plus, said that the company expects to work with Deewear to develop more sportswear lines.
Earlier this year, Directa Plus received funding from the European Regional Development Fund, which funded a research program of € 400,000 ($ 106 million) to explore intelligent fabric technology and innovation.
