Clothing Moira

COMPANY HISTORY

In 1991, Mr. Mario Vlček founded the company Alae Lupuli, which set itself the goal of developing and producing underwear and clothing for performance athletes.
The first products under the name Moira, which were the result of several years of research and search, caused a well-deserved commotion. Suddenly, it was possible to push the boundaries of the athlete's physical capabilities because the new underwear worked with the person. It just worked. For our expeditions, we needed things that could not be found at home. So we either bought expensive equipment abroad or made them ourselves. In the mountains, in extremely harsh natural climatic conditions, we tried first-hand on the glaciers what is ideal and what is not. "
And we still enjoy it. That is why we have engraved on our seal: Capite, Corde et Manibus - Head, heart and hands. It is true that nowadays it is not a big problem to buy top textiles in the world and make excellent products from them. However, over many years of observation, we have come up with a lot and we know exactly what we are looking for…

MOIRA TG 900
After the Velvet Revolution, dreams took shape. Over the years, I have gained a lot of valuable experience in the field of textile production, so there was something to build on, and in 1990 I founded a company called Alae Lupuli. As a climber and biker, I knew what an athlete needed to have on his body to handle extreme performance and feel good. It must be a fabric that wicks away capillary moisture to keep the body dry and warm. I discussed the idea with the Svit Chemical Fiber Research Institute, where there are amazing experts, and together we developed the original five-lobed polymer fiber, which is now patented as the Moira TG 900 fiber (1996).

MOIRA IN STRAKONICI
The company Alae Lupuli wanted to have control over the production of its types of knitwear, so it leased the knitting capacities of the Fezka Strakonice development workplace. The name of the patented fiber Moira gradually became synonymous with functional underwear and in 2002 gave the name to the transformed part of the original company - Moira CZ a.s. Alae Lupuli has since devoted himself to development, research and production technology.
The favorable development of the company was affected in the same year by devastating floods, which completely destroyed the then headquarters of the company in Prague Modřany, including production technologies.
Moira began the renewal of production capacities in 2003 in Strakonice by building a central warehouse for finished products and expanding knitting capacities. In 2005, the system of related technologies was completed, including design workplaces. The concentration of technologies and all preparatory accompanying activities into one production unit was reflected in the expansion of the range of functional materials and model lines. In 2007, the first new-generation sock knitting machines were installed. In the following years, the production capacities were expanded mainly by special automatic knitting machines.
In autumn 2012, Moira opened its 22 company stores.

BASIC CHARACTERISTICS

Unique fiber as the basis for the production of functional underwear
Moira TG 900 fiber made of highly technical polypropylene has excellent useful properties important for the production of functional underwear. The secret of the fiber lies in the shape of its cross section, where it resembles a five-lobed star. This doubles the circumference of the fiber and at the same time creates a trough, through which the capillary moisture then travels. The unique profile of the Moira TG 900 fiber significantly increases moisture transport.
Cotton has an absorbency of 8-20%, polyester 0.1%, polypropylene only 0.01% - that's ten times less than polyester. The Moira TG 900 fiber does not absorb water, but is spun into a thin yarn, it can transport moisture perfectly. Although the fiber is non-absorbent, it can wick moisture away from the skin and keep the body dry and at an optimal temperature.

The difference between standard polypropylene and Moira TG 900 fiber is in the unique profile and enlargement of the capillary spaces between the fibers in the yarn. This, together with the well-thought-out construction of knitwear, enables the production of perfect functional underwear with high performance.

Combination of materials
Natural materials - cotton or wool, or other synthetic fibers - are also used to improve thermoregulatory properties.

Medical harmlesness
In addition to excellent functional properties, all Moira TG 900 fiber products have excellent biocompatibility with the human body, there is no known allergic reaction to this material. It is biologically stable, does not support the growth of bacteria.

Ecological safety
MOIRA products are recyclable and do not harm the environment. They have a weak electrostatic charge - they do not attract dust.

Easy maintenance
The products have a constant color throughout their life, they do not leak and it is not possible to wash or color them. We wash in a washing machine in water warm to a maximum of 40 ° C using ordinary washing powder. The products can be spun in a washing machine. Do not tumble dry, do not iron.

Range of goods
Moira is an intelligent clothing system, the basic part of which is functional underwear. The term functional is used because underwear of this type is able to communicate effectively with the skin and thus demonstrably change the properties according to the current needs of the body. The goal of our efforts is to present the customer with a product without compromise, whose synergistic effects in performance are not disturbed by any component that we would not be able to tune on our own. The result is a completely new quality of laundry.
Today, the use of functional underwear has spread from the field of extreme sports to everyday life. Moira claims: what is necessary for the extreme and recommended for performance sports is practical in sports for fun and very comfortable for everyday wear and sleep. That's why the MOIRY range is so wide and includes products from nightwear to special clothing for extreme conditions. All species always contain a catalog issued for a specific period.

Production
The Moira company has its own knitwear design and design studio, where the basis for future production is created. Here, constructions of new knitwear, cuts of new shapes, colors of future products, as well as cut compositions for serial production are created. This development and design center immediately applies knowledge and trends to the construction of new knitwear and cutting solutions for future products. Moira pays great attention to laboratory tests of its products, as well as tests performed for Moira by research institutes, the best athletes and travelers.

Moira has consecutive production units, which are equipped with the latest technology at all stages of the production process.
The central warehouse with dispatch takes over the daily production and at the same time unloads the goods according to the received orders of the sales department, which has an online overview of the status and movement of finished products.
The entire production process, including design studios, warehouses and shipping, is concentrated in one production unit. Moira is a Czech company and manufactures all its products in the Czech Republic.

Capite, Corde et Manibus is the motto of MOIRA.
With our heads, hearts and hands, we create products for everyone who is looking for an active approach to life.

TG 900 FIBER
Modern synthetic fibers are very similar to traditional natural fibers and in many ways even surpass them. The emergence of new materials suitable for daily use was triggered in 1922 by the definition of polymer theory. By 1930, the production of all currently used man-made fibers was already known, but a really long time for synthetic fibers did not come until the production of nylon. At the turn of the new millennium, he expanded and improved the technologies of synthetic fiber production and their application in the textile industry. I imagine fibers suitable for the production of clothing, where, in addition to the common properties of classic materials, we perceive "performance", ie the ability to perfectly remove moisture while maintaining the thermal optimum, polyolefins correspond best. They have great features. They are the lightest, strongest, non-absorbent, also the warmest and most flexible of synthetic fibers. MOIRA TG 900® is a fiber with a unique, patented profile. The secret of the fiber lies in the shape of its cross section, where it resembles a five-lobed star. This doubles the circumference of the fiber and at the same time creates a trough, through which the capillary moisture then travels. The five-lobed cross-section of MOIRA TG 900® has a fundamental effect on the perfect and fast removal of capillary moisture. The use of MOIRA TG 900® is further supported by its durability and strength. It is unreservedly accepted by the human body.
