KAOS apparel is composed of 100 percent Made in the USA materials,
while every step of the design, manufacture and fulfillment process is
performed entirely on American soil.
Painstakingly researched and designed by standout NFL wide receiver
Bert Emanuel and his wife Teri to achieve the perfect blend of advanced
technology and unparalleled comfort, KAOS sets a new standard for
performance apparel.
Throughout his nine-year NFL career, Emanuel struggled to find
performance undergarments that met all his needs. Some helped regulate
his body temperature, but irritated his skin. Others were more
comfortable, but didn’t wick away his sweat. Still others restricted
his movement or simply didn’t conform to his body type. As a result, he
was forced to wear two different shirts to achieve the desired balance
of comfort and performance.
That’s when the couple began their search for a technically superior
product that could do it all: provide exceptional moisture management
and temperature regulation, allow for full range-of-motion and –
equally important – feel comfortable.
After months of research, they eventually discovered a proprietary
nylon polymer made by DuPont that far exceeded anything they had seen,
or felt, before. The material had all the high-tech properties of the
leading polyester-based brands, but was substantially softer, smoother
and more flexible. And, it was 100 percent Made in the U.S.A.
The budding entrepreneurs purchased the necessary rights to the
materials and patterns and began designing a new line of high-tech
garments, which Bert tested on the gridiron. They incorporated a mesh
gusset beneath the arms to allow for full range-of-motion while keeping
the shirt in place. Soon, Bert’s teammates began hounding him to share
his new creations with them.
KAOS Komfort was born.
As Bert transitioned from the playing fields to the business world, the
Emanuels soon recognized that the market for KAOS apparel went well
beyond the sports arena. So while other companies lavished millions on
Bert’s former teammates and peers to endorse their brands in a frenzied
attempt to corner the sports market, the Emanuels chose a different
path. But that was nothing new for this strong family of faith. The
Emanuels envisioned a different kind of company, with a deeper purpose
and a commitment to excellence that encompassed not only the quality of
workmanship in their products, but the way they ran their business.
The rest, as they say, is history…
Today, KAOS is delivering on the promise of advanced performance
apparel to professional men and women in a wide variety of arenas,
including commercial and industrial markets, health care/medical,
public safety, and the most demanding customers on the planet: The
United States Armed Forces.
Every few weeks, KAOS ships tens of thousands of its garments to
American troops stationed across the globe, including our brave
soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The garments help keep soldiers
cooler in the heat, warmer in the cold and more comfortable in every
environment. And because front-line personnel often cannot change
clothes for days at a time, KAOS Komfort is more than a slogan to these
troops…it’s their first line of defense against the harshest elements
on the planet.
Whether you’re a fire fighter, nurse, deliveryman, police officer,
factory worker, weekend warrior or a member of the greatest military
ever assembled, you are invited to experience the new standard in
performance apparel.
KAOS: Feel the komfort.
