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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Unlike traditional base layers, Polartec® Power Dry™ offers superior moisture-wicking, breathability, and fast-drying performance thanks to its advanced Polartec® technology. This ensures long-lasting comfort during high-intensity activities.

With its lightweight and breathable design, Polartec® Power Dry™ reduces dampness, prevents chafing, and maintains a dry next-to-skin feel, allowing you to stay focused and comfortable.

Yes, Polartec® Power Dry™ is made from a lightweight bi-component knit fabric that enhances comfort without adding bulk, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own.

Polartec® Power Dry™ is commonly used in base layers, activewear, performance apparel, and outdoor gear, providing moisture management and comfort for various activities.

To maintain the performance of Polartec® Power Dry™, wash it in cold water with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. And be sure to always follow the garment’s care instructions.
