Pangaia, Fulgar renew partnership for bio-based activewear yarn

Pangaia has renewed its partnership with Italian yarn producer Fulgar, selecting its EVO bio-based yarn for the brand’s Seamless Activewear Fall-Winter 2026 collection. The new collection is the first to be developed by Pangaia’s Milan-based design studio. It also brings EVO back as one of the main materials in the activewear range.

EVO is produced using 50% renewable feedstocks, including castor oil sourced from crops grown on land that is not suitable for food production, and 50% industrial corn that is not intended for human consumption. According to Fulgar, the yarn combines lightweight comfort and technical performance with renewable raw materials.

The yarn is well suited to activewear because it is lightweight, breathable, elastic and quick-drying. EVO allows garments to move naturally with the body while offering compression, softness and freedom of movement. Its thermoregulating and bacteriostatic properties are also designed to provide longer-lasting comfort.

The Fall-Winter 2026 range features more refined construction, graduated compression and an improved second-skin fit designed to support natural body movement. The garments are also designed to move easily from workouts and other active activities into everyday use.
