dri-release Fabric

dri–release® with FreshGuard® offers a patented blend of 85-90% hydrophobic/synthetic ("water-hating") fabrics and 10-15% natural/hydrophilic ("water-loving") fibers. This intimate combination works together to efficiently grab liquid away from the skin and push it to the outside of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly. That's why clothing made with dri–release® always feels soft and always stays dry.

Permanent Moisture Wicking

Ironically, the nemesis of most wicking fabrics is water. It's true. Chemically-treated performance fabrics lose their ability to wick away moisture over time with each washing. Not dri–release®. Our moisture-transport system is built into the yarn and delivers everlasting wicking that won't wash out.

Neutralizes Odors With FreshGuard®

FreshGuard® is an odor neutralizer that is embedded in all dri–release® fabrics. It eliminates odors in garments by blocking odor-causing sebaceous body oils from attaching to the fabric – also stopping the attraction of odor-causing bacteria. Not an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, which attack bacteria that possess positive functions, FreshGuard® is friendly to the environment.

Unlike other products, which use a topical anti-microbial finish, FreshGuard is a process that is built directly into dri–release® fabrics and doesn’t come out in the wash. In fact, all FreshGuard engineered fabrics are put through standard ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) wash tests, which include 50 washings. In each of these tests, FreshGuard® products emerged untouched.
