One System. Every Condition.
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional Layering Forces a Choice
Most base layers make you choose: merino wool or engineered fibres. Comfort or durability. Natural odour control or moisture management.
Merino regulates temperature and resists odour naturally, but it pills, stretches, and loses compression after repeated wear. Synthetics wick moisture and hold their shape, but trap odour against skin.
Traditional performance layering tries to solve this by stacking garments — merino base, synthetic mid-layer, weather shell. But layering introduces bulk, creates friction points, and relies on inconsistent contact between fabrics. Moisture gets trapped. Temperature regulation fails. You manage layers instead of performing.
The Foundation Series integrates merino and engineered fibres at the yarn level on Strata. One garment. No compromises. No layering system to manage. Just engineered performance, where your body needs it.
THE SOLUTION
Integrated Construction
The Foundation Series integrates 17.5 micron merino blended at the yarn level with engineered nylon into a single seamless construction. Each fibre is positioned where it performs best.
Merino sits against skin for temperature regulation and anti-microbial protection. Nylon binding provides structural support and compression across major muscle groups. A hydrophilic outer layer accelerates moisture transfer in high-output zones.
Seamless zones eliminate friction. Flatlock construction maintains contact without restriction. The result: a garment that regulates heat, manages moisture, and holds performance after hundreds of wears.
*Strata Fabric System
Thermoregulation
Keeps muscle temperature in the performance window
The hygroscopic mechanism releases evaporative cooling under exertion and bound warmth at rest — the fibre responds to the body's thermal state. Supports homeostasis across warmup, sustained effort, and recovery.
Moisture Management
Eliminates clamminess and the thermal penalty of saturation
The hygroscopic mechanism releases evaporative cooling under exertion and bound warmth at rest — the fibre responds to the body's thermal state. Supports homeostasis across warmup, sustained effort, and recovery.
Warm When Wet
Maintains thermal performance where engineered fibres fail
The hygroscopic mechanism releases evaporative cooling under exertion and bound warmth at rest — the fibre responds to the body's thermal state. Supports homeostasis across warmup, sustained effort, and recovery.
Seamless
Precise fit, zero pressure points, full-lifespan integrity
The hygroscopic mechanism releases evaporative cooling under exertion and bound warmth at rest — the fibre responds to the body's thermal state. Supports homeostasis across warmup, sustained effort, and recovery.
Targeted Compression
Reduces fatigue, supports movement efficiency
Compression mapped to major muscle groups reduces muscle oscillation under sustained load. Less oscillation means less accumulated neuromuscular fatigue over the course of a session or event.
Natural UPF 50+
Eliminates clamminess and the thermal penalty of saturation
A structural property of the Merino fibre, verified by CSIRO. Does not degrade with washing. Removes the need for a separate sun protection layer and eliminates the performance compromise of sunscreen on skin that needs to thermoregulate.
Odour Resistance
Sustains training load without disruption
Bacteria cannot colonise Merino fibre surfaces. Extended use across back-to-back sessions without odour build-up. Fewer washes preserves fibre structure and extends consistent performance across the garment's lifespan.
QR Traceability
Every garment is a verified, trackable record
Each garment carries a unique QR code. Scan it to access the independently verified Ecostance supply chain and GHG emissions data for that specific garment — and to track your order in real time from purchase to delivery.
"Traditional performance layering requires base, mid, and outer layers. Uniqohr integrates all three into a single engineered system: Strata."
