dri-release® is an engineered yarn, which uses a patented microblend of natural and synthetic fibers, combining the best qualities of both. The natural fibers absorb moisture, pulling it off the skin and onto the fabric. Synthetic fibers repel moisture, forcing it through to the surface of the garment where it evaporates quickly as airflow moves across the surface of the fabric.

dri-release Microblend Performance Fabric
is engineered for:

• Permanent performance
• Enhancing body comfort
• Moving moisture
• Drying quickly

dri-release® also has the added proprietary benefit of FreshGuard, a natural component and unique process activated right in the yarn, helping this ultimate performance fabric virtually eliminate odor.

Dries Fast. Comfort that lasts.

Comfort That Won't Wash Out

Unlike topically finished performance products that lose their ability to wick away moisture with each washing, dri-release comfort qualities are permanent. They're built right into the yarn so clothing made with dri-release always feels soft, always stays dry.

A Soft Touch Wins

You'll always feel the soft, supple surface next to your skin because of the patented microblend of natural and synthetic fibers. This optimum blend won't wrinkle or lose shape in the dryer, and it's exceptionally pill resistant. All of the features of dri-release are engineered right into the fabric, so socks, underwear, all your everyday wear stays new looking, longer.

A Fresh Approach

Did you ever find odors lingering in your clothing, even after washing? dri-release has an additional feature that keeps your clothes as fresh as when you dressed in the morning. FreshGuard is an odor neutralizer that keeps odors from attaching to dri-release. This special technology keeps clothes smelling fresh even when the pressure is on–in the boardroom or on the playing field.

Climate Control for the Body

Fabrics with dri-release use a patented moisture transport system that helps manage sweat. The fabric transports moisture away from the skin and dries four times faster than 100% cotton. Cool and dry is the best climate while you're working out or just waking up.

The most effective technical fabrics balance wicking action with drying time. dri-release draws perspiration away from the skin fast, spreads the moisture throughout the fabric quickly, and allows the airflow to evaporate moisture effectively. You probably never knew your clothing could work so hard while you play.
