Olympic victory in the two-man bobsleigh in Cortina: SKINION-X (R) under the suits of Lochner and Fleischhauer

Textile skin protection under real competition conditions in high-performance sports Cortina / South Tyrol - Johannes Lochner and Georg Fleischhauer won the gold medal in the two-man bobsleigh at the Olympics in Cortina under extreme competition conditions. Under their racing suits, they wore SKINION-X (R), a protective first layer to reduce mechanical skin stress.

The start of a bobsleigh race is one of the most intense phases of movement in winter sports: extreme acceleration, contact with ice and metal, high compression, and strong shear forces have a direct impact on the skin. It is precisely in this phase that the first layer determines stability, freedom of movement, and the subjective feeling of stress.

"We use SKINION-X (R) and are convinced of its function, fit, and freedom of movement. Especially at the start, when you jump into the bobsled at high speed, enormous forces act on the body. For me, it is crucial that the first layer feels stable, that there is freedom of movement, and that the mechanical stress on the skin is significantly reduced," explains Johannes Lochner.

SKINION-X (R) was developed to systematically address mechanical skin stress, not as classic functional underwear, but as a protective first layer. A structural textile protective layer directly on the skin. The aim is to constructively take friction, shear forces, and compression into account and stabilize the feeling on the skin under real stress.

Its use under Olympic competition conditions underscores the practicality of the system in high-performance sports. At the same time, SKINION-X (R) sees itself as part of a new development in the field of textile skin protection solutions, with applications beyond sports.
