Dri-Release Microblend wicks moisture and Dri-release beats other performance rubrics for wet-or-dry comfort, great fit and good looks keep you feeling dry and comfortable.

How Dri-release Works: Cellulosic fibers such as cotton and rayon feel great against the skin when dry, because ceflu.tosics are long chains of hydroxyls (OHs). The OHs form hydrogen bonds with the OHs in water, destructuring perspiration, and absorbing it into the fab- tic. Unfortunately, cotton-rich fabrics have too many OHs, causing them to absorb and hold too much moisture. The secret to Optimer's patented mois- ture-transport technology is the optimiza- tion of the special co-polymer polyester and the number of OHs in the fabric. - - the fabric from getting wet during work- outs, while making it feel like cotton when dry. The small percentage of OH scattered throughout the fabric draws perspiration through the fabric, and allows airflow to evaporate it more quickly.
