Polartec® Power Dry® materials were developed to keep the body dry during physical exertion. All the materials in this range are noted for their patented two-component knit construction which uses two different yarns for both sides. This created a material with two surfaces: one draws moistures away from the body, the other dries quickly. www.polartec.com |

How Does It Work? Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin cause discomfort. Polartec® Power Dry® keeps the skin dry through three complementary mechanisms: 1. The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor. 2) “Touch points“ on the fabric inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads rapidly for evaporation. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from the skin than single component fabrics. 3) When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton. |
