PLAKNIT Leggings & Tights

A ribbed knit refers to a knitting method where raised and recessed stripes alternate across the surface. Compared to flat-woven fabric, it features superior elasticity that stretches horizontally and returns to shape, flexibly responding to body movements.

'Penta' means the number 5, and 'Flex' refers to flexibility. True to its name, it is a fabric designed to weave five core functions into one to support vigorous movement.

Flexible elasticity that stretches and firm support that holds up might seem like opposite properties at first glance. PLAKNIT's Pentaflex Women's Short Tights (펜타플렉스 우먼즈 숏타이즈) uses Nylon 66 (nylon 66) fabric to enhance close adherence against the skin and tightly wrap and support muscles.

When you turn the pants inside out, cooling briefs are integrated inside where they touch the skin. It is structured to be worn directly against bare skin without having to wear separate underwear. In general, briefs built into running wear serve to reduce skin friction caused during running and help wick away sweat. If you layer innerwear underneath, the seams can easily press against the skin and cause chafing, so running with tights that have built-in briefs worn alone is much more comfortable.
