FIR Technology Leggings: What Is It and How Do They Work?

Explore the FIR leggings by FGM04: discover how FIR technology improves performance and well-being during training, even when wearing your push up leggings favorites!

What is FIR technology in leggings and how does it work?

These garments absorb the heat produced by the body and release it in the form of FIR rays. In practice the tissue reflects only a specific range of what it has absorbed as FIR emission. 
This effect is achieved by permanently incorporating minerals into the fibres that will then be used to make the fabric.

The benefits of leggings with FIR technology

THE Far Infrared Rays (FIR) By heating the skin, they simulate the effect of sunlight to offer benefits in terms of both athletic performance and skin appearance: wearing leggings with FIR technology promotes a slight dilation of capillaries and blood vessels and stimulates circulation, improving the condition of the skin. In addition, it can facilitate muscle recovery and help reduce inflammatory conditions.

What can I expect when wearing a FIR garment?

FIR garments do not allow you to perceive a sense of direct heat, but rather thermal comfort in different environmental conditions.

Differences between the various models of FIR leggings

Almost all FGM04 leggings use FIR technology fabrics - only leggings from some gift sets are excluded - so choosing the most suitable one is mainly a matter of personal taste.

Most models are in 4-season FIR fabric in solid color, mélange (EcoFIR) or in bamboo polyamide (BambooFIR).
The exception is garments which, in addition to being made of FIR fabric, help to retain body heat (HotFIR) or that on the contrary are super breathable and help dissipate heat in hot conditions (CryoFIR).

In addition to the yarn used, the Main differences concern:

• fascia (height, shape and presence of writing);
• fabric texture (smooth, ribbed, melange, animalier…);
• Side B (smooth, push up without curl, push up with curl).

How to choose the right FIR leggings for your needs

Leggings FGM04, one for every occasion

The FGM04 leggings collection is made up of various models, but they all have the same characteristic: they help reactivate microcirculation, combat water retention and the blemishes caused by cellulite.

The FGM04 leggings are a smart choice for those looking for comfort, practicality and innovative design. 

The darker colors, the worked textures (like Bubble And Wild Essence), the spotted ones (like the Maltinti) and blends (like the Pulse) are perfect for hiding the unsightly appearance of cellulite, while the high bands shape and contain the waistline.

Perfect to use while you work

Our leggings have been designed to reactivate microcirculation. This feature makes them perfect for those who work in a job where they are on their feet for many hours: those who work in healthcare, beauticians, hairdressers, shop assistants. They are also ideal for those who have to wear a uniform thanks to their fit and discretion. The wide range of models allows you to find the solution for every need. They are all opaque models and with opaque fabric.

In more formal contexts, templates are more suitable Basic or in any case with a push up without curls like the Confidence and the less exuberant nuances. Perfect for use at work, at university or for an aperitif with friends. The difference between our leggings, and the tights that can be found on the market, lies precisely in the versatility and effectiveness incorporated in our yarn.

Generally the sportiest models of leggings are those with writing on the waistband (like the Gym Fashion), selections under the buttocks, side decorations and bright colours, while those without writing and with less bright fabrics tend to be preferred by those who like to wear leggings even outside the gym, but not always.
In practical terms there are no big differences because the fabrics are similar.

Tips for using and maintaining FIR leggings

Leggings require special care to keep their quality intact over time. Here are some maintenance tips:

• Buy them in the right size: we have realized that often, misled by their exceptional softness, people choose to buy them in a smaller size than necessary. This is a wrong choice that compromises the comfort, aesthetics and resistance of the garment. We suggest measuring yourself and following the size chart of the model you want to buy. The most significant measurement is that of the hips, as this is the point of greatest stress of the leggings.
• Hand Wash or Machine Wash: If possible, hand wash your leggings to preserve their shape. If you use the washing machine, choose a delicate cycle and use a protective bag to prevent damage to the fabric. Avoid putting items with open zippers in the same wash (which could cut or scratch the fabric).
• Low Temperature: Avoid washing leggings at too high temperatures. A low temperature wash (max 30°C) will help keep them soft and durable.
• Air Drying: It is preferable to air dry your leggings, avoiding the dryer which could damage the elastic materials.
• Avoid using bleaching or softening products: These products can compromise the quality of the fabrics, so it is best to avoid them.
• Be careful of rubbing on rough surfaces: All fabrics are ruined if rubbed too hard, from the most delicate silk to the toughest denim, especially if in contact with rough, jagged or sharp surfaces.
  To avoid damaging your leggings, it is best to avoid rubbing them against uneven surfaces such as - for example - the serrated grip of an Olympic bar.

By following these instructions your leggings will retain all their beauty for a long time.
