Protective First Layer

Whether you're biking to work, skating in the park, hitting the trail, or working out at the gym—your skin is constantly exposed to friction, shear forces, and the risk of falls. Asphalt, concrete, wooden ramps, and rough training environments often lead to abrasions during slips and falls. This is exactly where SKINION X® comes in: skin abrasion protection as a first layer, worn like performance wear and ready to protect you at the crucial moment.

Life moves fast: urban mobility, training, outdoor

SKINION X® has been tested using the TRM (Darmstadt Method) according to EN 17092-1 for sliding events up to 30 km/h. Tests show up to 10 meters of additional sliding protection. As the first certified first-layer functional underwear, SKINION X® is proven to protect against skin abrasions during falls and slides. This reduces the consequences for training, competition, and everyday life—without sacrificing freedom of movement.

Why choose a first layer instead of just outerwear?

Conventional sportswear mainly regulates the microclimate. Mechanical protection is often left out. Since friction and shear forces occur directly on the skin, the protection logic belongs in the first layer. SKINION X® is worn like high-quality performance underwear beneath your existing clothing and closes the safety gap without compromising comfort.

The technology behind SKINION X®

H-PEA® Fiber
High Performance Polyethylene Advanced with very high abrasion resistance, additional cut protection, and skin-friendliness. Lightweight, comfortable, and designed for long-term use.

H3D-Knitting System®
A coordinated architecture of spacer technology, micro-vanisé, and functional jersey. The system balances air and moisture transport, maintains mobility, and defines the mechanical surface to reduce friction peaks on the skin.

Certification
TRM tested according to EN 17092-1 for protection during slides up to 30 km/h. Extends protection by up to 10 meters of sliding distance.

Use in sports

Urban cycling, e-bike, skate, inline
Sliding on asphalt is one of the most common causes of abrasions. SKINION X® works directly on the skin, while you continue to wear your usual clothing on top.
Mountain biking, gravel, trail running
Contact with gravel, wooden planks, and rocky surfaces stresses the skin. The first layer maintains mobility and breathability while better absorbing abrasion energy.
Motorsport-style training, scooters, parkour
Falls at low speeds generate high friction. The certified protection up to 30 km/h is specifically relevant for such scenarios.
Fitness and functional: Belts, straps, mats, and equipment create micro-movements and shear forces. The optimized surface reduces irritating friction points.

Lifestyle: protection without compromising style

SKINION X® is designed as a Protective First Layer. You combine it with your existing wardrobe, from commuter jeans to training jackets. No heavy layers, no visible armor, no compromise on style. Your look stays the same, and the protection remains exactly where it’s needed.
