Discover how three pioneering brands – Victor, AROPEC, and Matrix by JHONSON–are redefining the future of sports and fitness with their cutting-edge innovations.
A Racket Fit for a Legend
Inspired by badminton legend Tai Tzu Ying, the Victor TK-TTY Ultima A racket is the flagship of the “YINGcredible – TAI TZU YING Tribute Collection” – a seamless blend of performance, engineering, and elegance. The racket’s diamond-cut texture is the key design element that celebrates Tai’s unparalleled achievements on the badminton court. The collection embraces classic white from Tai’s previous gear, which is highlighted by a distinctive turquoise that reflects her unique and radiant personal style. The broader YINGcredible collection extends beyond rackets to include shoes, bags, tournament apparel, and casual wear, allowing athletes and fans alike to channel Tai’s spirit both on and off the court. More than gear, it’s a tribute to excellence–where inspiration meets innovation.
Crafted in Taiwan, the racket features PYROFIL carbon fiber composites from Japan for lightweight durability and superior shock absorption, enabling precise control with less fatigue. Victor’s Hard Cored Technology–originally developed for helicopters–uses multi-layered carbon fiber for enhanced stability and responsiveness. The ergonomic FREE CORE handle system, designed through computer simulation, ensures smoother swings and greater wrist mobility, offering maximum comfort during intense rallies.
Tactical Performance Meets Aquatic Precision
This military fullsuit features an all-black, low-profile design tailored for tactical use by military units and government procurement projects. Available in 3mm and 5mm thickness options, it offers thermal flexibility across diverse aquatic environments, balancing warmth with mobility.
Its front-low, back-high neckline enhances breathing comfort during movement, while flatlock stitching reduces water penetration and improves overall durability. A robust back zipper includes a flap with a writable name area for easy identification in group or military settings.
Supratex abrasion-resistant fabric reinforces the hips for smoother sliding and increased garment longevity. SRP-reinforced rubber pads at the knees and elbows protect high-wear zones, making the suit ideal for prolonged and demanding use. The 5mm version adds semi-dry cuffs at the wrists and ankles to minimize cold-water seepage and help maintain body temperature. A premium edition includes dual thigh utility pouches for storing flashlights, tools, or small mission-critical items, boosting operational efficiency.
Purpose-built for functionality, durability, and comfort, this professional-grade wetsuit is expertly engineered for high-performance military and large-scale operations.
