It is never minute 5.
It is minute 75.
You warm up scared, ease off the sprints and still feel it the day after. It is rarely one big moment. It is late in the match, when the muscle is tired and cold and you ask it for one more sprint.
Football
Sprints, shots and changes of direction all load the adductors.
Padel
Low, wide lunges and split steps, hundreds per match.
Hyrox
Sleds, lunges and wall balls. Hips and groin never rest.
Warm, held, and not thinking about it.

Close fit down to the thigh. Nothing rides up.
Your own body heat, put back to work.
Emana® is a yarn with bioactive minerals inside every fibre. Nothing to charge, nothing to switch on. It runs on the heat your legs already give off.
Inside one fibreYour muscles give off heat
All session long, your legs radiate warmth.
The minerals catch it
Minerals inside the fibre absorb that heat instead of letting it escape.
It comes back as far infrared
The fabric returns it to your skin, for as long as it touches you.
Built into the fibre. Not sprayed on.
Most recovery fabrics are a finish that fades in the wash. Emana® minerals are part of the yarn, so wash 50 works like wear 1.

Skeptical? Good.
Most compression gear is sold on hype. Here is what this yarn is, what was tested, and what we will not promise you.
-
The yarn
Emana® is a polyamide with bioactive minerals inside the fibre. It absorbs body heat and returns it as far infrared.
-
The test
Its maker had it tested in a controlled study against a placebo fabric (FEF-UNICAMP, University of Campinas, 2013). A manufacturer's technical report on a small group, not a peer-reviewed paper.
-
The limits
No garment prevents or treats an injury, and this one does not either. It supports the muscles that take the load and keeps them warm.
-
Your own test
Train in them for 60 days. If your legs cannot tell the difference, you get a full refund.

Straight answers.
Will these stop me getting injured?
No garment can promise that. Forma is built to support the muscles that take the load in football, padel and Hyrox, and to keep them warm. It does not replace a warm-up, strength work or a physio.
Is there any proof it works?
The yarn was tested by its maker in a controlled study against a placebo fabric (FEF-UNICAMP, University of Campinas, 2013). It is a manufacturer's technical report, not a peer-reviewed paper, so we do not promise you a result. We give you 60 days to test it on your own legs.
What is Emana®?
A polyamide yarn with bioactive minerals inside the fibre. It absorbs your body heat and returns it as far infrared. Because the minerals are part of the yarn, the effect does not wash out.
Does the effect fade after a few washes?
No. It is not a coating or a finish. The minerals are part of the fibre, so wash 50 works like wear 1.
Why do they cost more than my usual compression shorts?
Standard shorts only compress. Forma adds targeted support over groin, adductors and hips and a mineral yarn that stays in the fibre. Train twice a week over a 40-week season and one pair works out at about $2.81 a session. You also have 60 days to decide if they are worth it.
When do I wear them?
From the warm-up, through the session, and for the hour after. The yarn works while it touches your skin.
Do they show under my kit?
No. They go under your match shorts, so nobody sees them but you.
Which size do I take?
True to size. Between two sizes? Larger for comfort, smaller for a firmer hold. If it is wrong, the exchange is free and we send the new pair first.
What if they are not for me?
Train in them for 60 days. If your legs cannot tell the difference, email us and the refund goes back to your card.

Two months of sessions and matches. If your legs cannot tell the difference, send them back for a full refund.
