Laser-Vent™ – Fabric Highlight & Use Cases transcript

My name is JB. I'm the founder and head of product innovation here at ASRV. And I'm going to run you through our laser vent range. So, this range of products really leans on the high performance side of our catalog. Uh, one of the reasons for that is just the base fabric we use. So, these styles are all made from our laser vent fabric. When we went into engineering laser vent, what we were looking for is an extremely lightweight, durable fabric that also had kind of a silky soft hand feel.

Considering that these are all going to be more high performance, we keep long-distance running in mind. For long-distance running, you really don't want whatever you're wearing to add any weight or to, you know, have any heat buildup. So, these styles not only are made from our lightest weight fabric, but they also have strategic perforation throughout, which adds to the overall breathability of these styles and actually decreases the overall fabric weight.

So, the real intention of this fabric when we were thinking of the enduser was really more so for sustained high-intensity training. So, when you're thinking about long duration training, whether it's, you know, long-distance running or highintensity training or cardio, there's a few things that you want your fabric to be doing for you. One is you don't want it to be getting in the way. You don't want it to be bunching up.

You don't want it to be chafing. So, this is an extremely lightweight fabric that also has a silky soft hand feel, but you also want to make sure that the fabric is not too delicate, right? Because it's high-intensity training, you want the fabric also to be able to withstand multiple training sessions, gym equipment, anything like that. So there's this balance between creating a very lightweight, soft, you know, delicate feeling fabric with the durability of a fabric, you know, that's going to cater itself to more demanding training environments.

And that's why we went with this Trio warpet structure. The Trio warpnet structure is special because it has a zigzag knitting structure which allows it to be very soft but very strong. So within our laser vent tops range, we have our established T, our established long sleeve, and then our singlet tank. So I'm going to run through some of the similarities and some of the differences between these three silhouettes. So the established T and the established long sleeve share basically the exact same silhouette and design details.

You're going to have strategic perforation on the shoulder and the chest that comes out and kind of gradients into the main chest area. And then the sleeves are fully perforated. And the back of both these styles is also fully perforated. So on the front, you're going to have a little more coverage. The whole thing is not perforated. You see this strategic perforation gradients out into the main body, but then stops around the chest area.

Both styles have our raglin sleeve construction and have marrow stitching throughout. So both the long sleeve and the short sleeve designs share the established silhouette. So, the established silhouette signifies this bottom design here. You're going to have the swoop hem, the side splits, and then the back length is going to be about an inch, inch and a half longer than the front length. Um, this is just for added coverage when it comes to the training styles.

If you're, you know, jumping, running, your arms are going up. It just adds a little more coverage. And then the sid split design is for added range of motion. So if you're doing anything like squatting, bending down, anywhere where the t-shirt might catch on the hips or the butt, this just allows for more range of motion there. So the laser vent long sleeve and short sleeve share the same silhouette. You just have the long sleeve version and the short sleeve version.

And I'll run you through the laser vent singlet. So our established T and long sleeve both share the strategic perforation design where it covers the entire arm and then slowly gradients onto the chest. Our laser vent singlet actually has perforation throughout the entire product. So our laser vent singlet is really designed to be one of the lightest weight singlets on the market. We did that by using our TCO warp knit fabric and then laser perforating the entire garment.

So that's going to decrease the overall weight of the fabric while still keeping the integrity and durability of the overall garment intact. Another subtle difference between the tee and long sleeve are the bottom hem design. So the T and long sleeve share are established swoop hem design whereas the laser vent singlet actually has more of a scalloped hem design. So the scalloped hem is a little bit different because the front hem is actually flat and the back hem is the only one that has some length and curve to it.

So our reflective logo detailing throughout these styles is just additional high visit night. So, if you're running at night, training at night, you know, a car passes you, these logos are really going to flare up and allow for just that high visibility for night training. So, if you're someone whose training style is a little more sustained, high intensity, like long-distance running, marathon running, outdoor training, or anything where you really need your garment to be extremely lightweight and have max air flow, our laser vent range is a really good place to start.
