A Matter of Fabrics
drirelease® fabrics contain a blend of natural and synthetic fibres that are engineered to wick moisture away from the skin and to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly.
By moving moisture away from the skin and supporting evaporation, drirelease® helps regulate the microclimate underneath the garment and can provide a cooler wearing experience.
A core fabric within our updated Hike & Trail collection, drirelease® is woven into selected short and long-sleeve tees, plus some active vests. With no added chemicals to wash out over time, the fabric can keep up with the demands of the trail, or multiple wears over an extended trip.
Why We Use It
drirelease® fabrics offer a blend of synthetic hydrophobic (water repelling) and natural hydrophilic (water absorbing) fibres. The built-in combo pulls moisture and sweat away from the skin and then pushes it to the exterior of the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly.
The main point of difference to other fabrics is the soft, almost cotton-like feel that’s super comfortable on the skin when moving. We think it's perfect for hiking, backpacking, trail running, gravel riding, climbing and the downtime in between. Another great layer for off-grid camping and van trips too, as you can wear these active tees for a few days without getting too whiffy...
Where You'll Find It
Found within our performance and activewear range, we use drirelease® in select active tees in short and long-sleeved styles, plus active vests with updated back graphics.
For trail runs, bikepacking adventures and off-grid travel, the drirelease® fabric brings something new to the table that’s sure to support many adventures to come. Shop the collection below.
