Our Values

Our Values

It all starts with a spark... it is ignited sometimes by chance but if fuelled by passion, it grows and is a source of stimulus to do one's best.

In life, in sport and in work, passion helps one to face obstacles and to enjoy and fully realise one's goals.

The parallels between sport, life and the corporate world are many. When we think of sport, or better still, the culture of sport, one image comes to mind above all: that of the person who, thanks to his or her passion, challenges himself or herself to improve, in mind and body. These are the values that Biotex also carries forward with its sports collections.

BIOTEX is the first Italian company to be entirely specialized in the production and development of the Performance Underwear for sports activities.

Indeed it can be considered the real pioneer of this industry.

Experience is the first added value of BIOTEX products. An experience built up over time by innovating and researching the perfect solutions to improve the Performance of the body during physical activity.

POLYPROPYLENE - BTX YARN

HANDMADE NATURAL

BIO - TEX, NATURE & WEAVE

A unique fibre

A unique fibre

Lighter than water, it frees your desire for movement while guaranteeing comfort and protection at all times: training, competition and leisure. BTX fibre is like a second high-performance skin, a thin layer of high technology that transforms your every effort into pure energy. It is with this fibre that we make all Biotex technical underwear.
Each garment is designed and crafted by hand, in the tradition of handmade Italian knitwear. Our garments are designed for those who practice sport at all levels, from the simplest and lightest activities to extreme sports. Our underwear is also designed to provide you with comfort and protection in your everyday activities, whether for work or leisure. To face every moment of your life with grit and determination.

The weather becomes an ally, because Biotex technical underwear knows how to make it work in your favour: no drops of sweat on your skin, no energy dispersion, no temperature fluctuations.

Garments made with BTX polypropylene fibre are insulating and water-repellent: your body stays dry, energetic and snappy, warm in the winter months and cool in the summer months.

No external agent stands between you and your goal.
It is breathable: sweat does not stay on your skin, but is transferred onto the fabric and from the fabric to the outside.

In this way, the microclimate between your skin and the underwear you wear remains constant, comfortable and natural. It is highly protective: your temperature is in balance with the outside temperature and you suffer no wasted energy or loss of strength.

The BXT polypropylene fibre is water-repellent, stain-resistant, impervious to mould, moths and bacteria like no other synthetic or natural fibre. It is resistant to moisture and weathering and, although not completely impermeable, it does not absorb water, dries quickly and, thanks to its specific weight of less than 1 g/cm3, is the only yarn that floats.
BTX is a highly technological, versatile and very resistant fibre that is a candidate in its own right to be called the 'fibre of the future'.

Without the need to add chemical additives, BTX polypropylene has hypoallergenic and anti-odor properties, even after intense physical activity. Particularly suitable for sports underwear, having excellent resistance to acidic agents and alkaline perspiration, polypropylene guarantees a high level of comfort, practicality and hygienic safety in contact with the skin

Biotex garments think about you even after training. In fact, it is easy to take care of it for the duration of its use.
Because those who love sport, from a jog in the park behind the house to climbing the highest peak, know that nature is an integral part of the challenge they take on every day.

And respects it. Biotex garments are easy to care for: they can be washed in the washing machine at low temperatures, they dry quickly and do not need ironing. They are resistant to stains and dirt, abrasion, wear and washing. They do not felt or shrink.

Their effective durability is guaranteed and this also reduces their impact on the environment.

His will led to the creation of a groundbreaking firm that established itself as a leading brand in clothing market.

Since then, with his daughter, Barbara, he has been committed to making polipropilene use something unique, to turn sporty fatigue into sustainable energy and make the sporty gesture more performing.

It was precisely the combination of tradition and innovation that gave rise to the production of our technical underwear for sports enthusiasts.

Our mission?

To combine technology and nature.

On one hand, from the very beginning we dedicated our efforts to researching the perfect material for our garments manufacturing, on the other one we have never abondened the long-standing Italian knitwear high-quality tradition.Behind each garment lies a thorough attention paid to every single detail, the scrupulous selection of yarns, and the pride that goes into handcrafted products, applied to a cutting-edge quality fibre. Our polypropylene fibre, named BTX, has unique features that can be immediately appreciated by wearing any of our garments: it is as light as feather, highly breathable, guarantees a better climate for your skin at any temperature and improves the athletic performance.

While we have been dedicated to the search for the perfect material for the creation of skin-to-skin garments from the very beginning, we have never abandoned the tradition of handmade Italian knitwear. Behind every garment is the attention to detail, the meticulous choice of yarn and the care typical of handmade products, applied to a fibre that is state-of-the-art at the highest level. The polypropylene fibre is called BTX and is endowed with unique characteristics, the same that you will find when wearing any of our garments: it is extremely light and highly breathable, it guarantees the best climate for your skin at any temperature and improves your sports performance.
