Project 1 - World's Most Innovative Fabric
SA1NT Layers has hit the ground running with a high-performance collection built on experience and athlete mentality — always chasing gains, challenging norms, and pushing for better. Enter Project One, a capsule driven by our good mate Mike Trees, a multi-time world champion in endurance sports. Mike lives for performance, constantly seeking smarter ways to train, prep, and improve. Whether you're chasing a PB or running for the joy of it, you deserve gear that’s built for purpose. Mike came to SA1NT with a mission: to create lightweight, high-functioning compression and run gear for hot Asian climates — where he’s trained and competed for decades. Challenge accepted. The result? A collection made for speed, built to perform.
Mike Trees
" As an athlete, coach, and sports scientist, I’ve always taken a holistic approach to performance — from training and recovery to gear. In 2023, I partnered with the SA1NT team to create a compression range that delivers support, breathability, and function in the toughest conditions. Built to perform in the heat and humidity of SE Asia, the Project One Collection is the result of months of research, development, and testing — gear made to go the distance."
FABRIC TECHNOLOGY LED BY INNOVATION
The ultimate blend of compression and lightweight engineering, SA1NT Layers' L1TE range was built like a Formula 1 machine — pushing performance while cutting every gram of weight. Traditional compression fabrics struggle in hot, humid climates like SE Asia, often causing overheating and discomfort. We set out to flip that. The goal: moisture control, muscle support, and breathability without the bulk. It had to be sustainable, functional, stylish, and accessible — a big ask. But we cracked it. L1TE is the result — ultra-lightweight gear that performs under pressure and thrives in the heat.
FABRIC TECHNOLOGY
L1TE Power Compression is an ultra-lightweight circular knit fabric at just 225gsm, delivering the support and benefits of fabrics 30% heavier. Using an innovative silicone print technique called Muscle Mapping+, this gear powers your performance all day without overheating.
L1TE Run is an incredible fabric, soft to touch yet highly capable of moisture management and cool on the skin with the addition of xylitol. All these benefits of comfort in a fabric that weighs in at just 93gsm.
L1TE Mesh completes this amazing line up of pound-for-pound giants! This mesh has an incredible 3D structure that maximizes cooling through airflow, dissipating heat away from the core and adding to comfort and performance.
+ 70% Doped Dyed Black Nylon & 30% Black Lycra
+ Utilizing Black Lycra to eliminate sheerness
+ 44GG Interlock CK Compression Fabric for superb power, performance and resilience
+ The combination of our lightweight Compression with Muscle Mapping+ allows a stronger more powerful graduation compression in the targeted muscle groups – quadriceps and hamstrings
+ Dope-dyeing, also known as solution dyeing, is a method of dyeing synthetic yarns that involves adding dye to the polymer that a filament will be extruded from.
+ Dope dyeing has major process, quality, and environmental benefits over more conventional dyeing because it uses less chemicals
+ Due to the dyeing process of using black nylon yarns the
+ 93gsm lightweight polyester with Xylitol cooling finish (100% Polyester Magic Pufy+ with Xylitol cooling)
+ T75 Pufy yarn – cotton-like hand feel, multidirectional moisture elimination, excellent wicking
+ PUFY is a specialty quick-drying, sweat wicking, moisture absorbing functional textile. When active, micro grooves on the surface of the fiber instantly absorb moisture and wick sweat from the skin by means of core absorption, expansion and transmission. The sweat is then dissipated across the surface of the fiber and quickly evaporates to keep you feeling cool, dry, and comfortable. This moisture management system has added heat dissipation and temperature regulation effects.
+ PUFY performs well in form fitting applications with a cotton-like hand feel that feels soft and comfortable to wear.
+ 80gsm very lightweight due to the micro polyester – extra softness, durability and ease of care
+ Recycled material. Excellent permeability, sweat wicking + quick dry
