drirelease technology
Even before putting it on, drirelease® inspires confidence through performance that is engineered into the fiber blend rather than relying on topical wicking performance treatments. The engineered combination of synthetic and natural fibers is designed to optimize moisture management, drying, softness and comfort across a wide range of fabrics.
drirelease® technology accelerates moisture release by moving water and perspiration through the fabric and toward the outside of the garment, where moisture can evaporate quickly.
It is our promise that drirelease® performance helps wearers stay dry, fresh and comfortable, whatever the day has in store.
Moisture
wicking
All drirelease fabrics utilize hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibers to pull moisture away from the skin – fast
Fast
drying
In test after test, drirelease fabrics reach one of the industry’s highest standards for dryness – up to four times faster than cotton.
Permanent
performance
With moisture-management performance engineered into the fiber blend rather than applied as a topical wicking finish, drirelease® is designed to provide lasting fabric performance.
superior
comfort
By moving moisture away from the skin and supporting evaporation, drirelease® helps regulate the microclimate next to the skin and can provide a cooler wearing sensation.
premium
quality
Our wide array of fabrics and knits exhibit excellent hand, hold their shape, and are easy care. They resist pilling, wrinkling and static cling.

INHERENT PERFORMANCE BLEND
drirelease® technology is not a surface application. Performance properties are “built into” each thread of our fabrics with a engineered blend of 85-90% hydrophobic to 10-15% hydrophilic fibers without wicking chemicals.
ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE
drirelease® fabrics offer an engineered blend of multi-denier, multi-staple length synthetic, hydrophobic (water repelling) fibers combined with natural, hydrophilic (water absorbing) fibers. The built-in combination efficiently pulls moisture and perspiration away from the skin and pushes it to the exterior of the fabric where it can evaporate quickly.
PERMANENT MOISTURE WICKING
Fabrics utilizing drirelease® engineered blends provide superior wicking, faster drying, and greater overall peak performance when compared to other technologies on the market. It will not wash out over time because it is not a chemical treatment.
