drirelease® HEMP

Natural Wicking, High Performance

drirelease® HEMP is a high-performance fabric blend engineered to combine the natural benefits of hemp fiber with the advanced moisture management of drirelease® technology. The result is a durable, breathable textile ideal for performance apparel that requires reliable comfort, quick-drying properties, easy-care, and natural hand feel.

Key Performance Features:

Moisture Wicking & Fast Drying

drirelease® HEMP actively pulls moisture away from the skin and pushes it to the fabric’s surface, where it evaporates quickly, helping to regulate body temperature during activity.

Thermal Regulation

Hemp’s natural hollow fiber structure allows for excellent airflow and breathability, aiding in temperature control across a range of conditions—from warm environments to cooler climates.

Durable Yet Comfortable

Hemp fibers add strength and abrasion resistance to the fabric, enhancing garment durability. When blended with synthetic or cellulosic fibers, drirelease® HEMP offers a comfortable yet natural handfeel and improved softness without sacrificing toughness.

No Chemical Finishes

The wicking and drying performance of drirelease® HEMP is not based on topical treatments. It is engineered into the fiber blend, maintaining consistent performance throughout the life of the garment.

Ideal Applications:

  • Performance t-shirts
  • Polo Shirt
  • Hoodies and Jogging
  • Thermal tees
  • Socks

drirelease® HEMP delivers a versatile solution for brands looking to offer high-performance garments with natural fiber content and long-term technical reliability. It combines the breathability and structure of hemp with the proven moisture management and comfort of drirelease® technology.
