GET IN TOUCHThe Technical Story – Design, Innovation and Technology:
High Performance Layering System:
The weather – whether it’s hot, cold, wet or windy – has a major impact on performance. We know you compete at your best at a constant core body temperature of 37 degrees. And that the weather changes. That’s why we use specialist fabrics and engineered garment fits to create the ultimate layering system for all conditions.
Our Fabrics are split into 3 families:
Cool in the heat – NxGen, lightweight performance fabrics that are used for playing and training.
Dry in the rain – Outer fabrics that block the wind and rain.
Warm when it’s cold – Thermal fabrics designed to keep you warm.
NxGen Fabric System (Next Generation):
Our NxGen fabric system has been developed exclusively for us. Fabrics are designed to maintain your core body temperature and keep you in the peak performance zone. Heat and vent ducts actively move heat and sweat away from the skin, keeping the body cool. Fabrics are quick dry and breathable for superior comfort.
Dynamic Fit:
It all starts with the athlete. We test new garment fits with our brand ambassadors and partners clubs. We create the initial fit, then tweak and re-test until it’s perfect. Then we add great design. Design always follows function.
Introducing Team ZEON
Our specialist design and administration team is based in the UK. But behind the scenes there is a much larger organisation. Our factory in China has over 400 workers, meaning we can scale up to meet any demand.
The ZEON Community
It’s our experience in the industry that sets us apart from other brands. Our heritage is in manufacturing sportswear. The company grew from its roots in small manufacturing unit in Basildon, Essex making cricket shirts for local clubs.
It progressed on to a factory of 60 machinists in our current hometown of Rotherham, making sports kits for leading teamwear brands and clubs across the UK. Garments are now sourced off-shore and our latest creation, Zeon, is a leading UK sportswear brand.
We are more than a sales and marketing company. We understand production from design to pattern-making to cutting and sewing, as well as the development of technical fabrics. We don’t source for the lowest price to maximise profit. Our goal is quality.
That leads us to our partner factory in China – who we think is the best around. We realise a strong profitable supplier base will innovate in the very latest manufacturing processes and invest back into the communities who produce our garments. We know what it takes to provide a safe working environment.
Co-founder, Reuben Herbert: ‘My key role is to make regular visits our partner factory in China. It’s not merely meeting with our friends who own and run the factory. I work on the shop floor with the workers to get a clear insight into work practices and conditions.’
