Polartec® Power Dry™ is our most advanced next-to-skin moisture management base layer fabric. Designed to keep you dry and comfortable during performance activities, its bi-component knit construction efficiently wicks sweat away from the skin and spreads it across the fabric’s surface for rapid evaporation during the most intense activities. ### How does Polartec® Power Dry™ manage moisture? ### How does Polartec® Power Dry™ manage moisture? Polartec® Power Dry™ features a bi-component knit structure that actively pulls sweat away from the skin to the outer fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly. This prevents saturation and helps regulate body temperature. ### What is a bi-component knit? ### What is a bi-component knit? Bi-component knit technology uses two different types of yarns in a single fabric structure. For Polartec® Power Dry™ we use yarns with different surface areas to create more space for water uptake on the outside of the fabric which acts as a siphon to transport moisture away from the skin. This allows Power Dry™ to maximize moisture transfer to ensure rapid evaporation, enhanced breathability and quick-drying performance. ### How does moisture-wicking work? ### How does moisture-wicking work? Wicking is a mechanical process that depends on construction of the fabric, its physical nature and its interaction with water. Using certain combinations of materials and yarns can allow for some control of the direction water will travel in a material. Polartec® Power Dry™ moves moisture up and away from the skin using complementary mechanisms of fiber orientation, capillary action and a hydrophilic enhancement, making it a perfect base layer. ### Is Polartec® Power Dry™ suitable for both hot and cold conditions? ### Is Polartec® Power Dry™ suitable for both hot and cold conditions? Yes! Polartec® Power Dry™ is designed as an all-weather base layer. In warm conditions, it keeps you dry and cool, while in cold environments, it efficiently wicks away sweat to prevent chills. ### What makes Polartec® Power Dry™ different from other base layer fabrics? ### What makes Polartec® Power Dry™ different from other base layer fabrics?
