As a part of our early development we made a clear decision to avoid cotton. For the reason that it absorbs moisture and is less effective in a sporting garment. It was essential that we found and worked with a fabric that had wicking abilities, great breath-ability and would perform with bacteriostatic properties to avoid concerns with bacterial infections. Highly pertinent when designing garments for sport.
So after much research, we were delighted to come together with the team at Cytec, Elastic Interface in Italy and produce the DEPSS with such a fabric. This is the Hi Tech Fabric exclusively developed for Elastic Interface – EIT X-Tract.
EIT X-Tract is a highly evolved fabric with a revolutionary two layer channel structure. The channels in the top layer help collect and canalize moisture, forcing it down to the second layer that expels it. The factors that led us to working with EIT X-Tract are that it:
Aids maximum sweat absorption
Is ultra-fast drying
Has a fresh & dry effect
Has great breathability
Has Bacteriostatic properties.

Bacteriostasis is a very important factor for Derriere Equestrian, being Bacteriostatic is not the same as Antibacterial. An antibacterial treatment tends to eliminate all bacteria, including those that normally live on the skin and that are essential for fighting the development of colonies of external and potentially pathogenic bacteria. In addition to having a certain level of toxicity, antibacterial substances can also lead to the creation of resistant strains of bacteria. On the contrary, bacteriostatic treatments act by inhibiting the growth or reproduction of bacteria while preserving the normal bacteria skin flora.
Derriere Equestrian products are the result of innovation, R&D and rigorous testing. Ensuring equestrians are placed in the best possible position so to improve their performance.
