drirelease® is where the performance demands of workwear, military, and sportswear come together. Designed to excel across these three markets, it combines lasting comfort, exceptional durability, and reliable performance in a single technology solution.
Unlike fabrics that rely on temporary chemical treatments, fabrics made with drirelease delivers natural, permanent moisture wicking – Moisture Management ≤ 1 sec (AATCC TM79, AATCC TM197) – and fast-drying performance – AATCC TM201 <=10 min for fabrics lighter than 250 GSM, and <=15 min for fabrics heavier than 250 GSM – built into the fibers. The result is long-lasting comfort that remains effective throughout the life of the garment.
Engineered for demanding environments, drirelease offers outstanding durability with excellent resistance to pilling – Pilling Resistance ≥ 4 (LST EN ISO 12945-2) – 7000 cycles, wool abrasive – and abrasion – Abrasion Resistance ≥ 35000 (LST EN ISO 12947-2) -, helping garments maintain their appearance and performance through repeated wear and laundering. It also provides excellent color retention, keeping both standard, high-visibility neon colors vibrant – ISO 20471– over time, and holds the shape with results on Dimensional Stability ≤ 5% (both length and width).
Whether worn by industrial professionals, military personnel, or athletes, drirelease is designed to meet the rigorous performance expectations of every environment. It delivers the durability required for hard work, the reliability demanded by military applications, and the comfort and moisture management essential for active performance.
