This innovative material is specifically engineered to provide superior warmth and breathability, making it ideal for activities that involve fluctuating temperatures. Unlike traditional insulation, Polartec® Alpha® Direct is designed to be used without the need for a separate liner, allowing it to be in direct contact with other layers or the skin, which enhances moisture vapor transmission and reduces overall garment weight. This results in a more comfortable and adaptable garment that excels in a variety of weather conditions, making it perfect for cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts who require functional, adaptable, and lightweight apparel.PI Dry®:- PI Dry® is a proprietary technology developed to enhance the performance and comfort of cycling gear. This technology provides a permanent water-shedding treatment that is applied to fabrics at the fiber level, making them resistant to saturation from rain or road spray. Unlike other treatments that can wash out over time, PI Dry® ensures that each fiber is coated with a hydrophobic treatment before the fabric is woven or knit, ensuring that the performance is built to last, not just seasonally but for the life of the garment. This feature is ideal for all-weather conditions, enabling riders to stay dry and comfortable in various climates, ultimately enhancing their riding experience and performance.Care:- Machine wash cold with like colors- Gentle cycle- Do not bleach- Tumble dry low heat- Do not iron- Do not dry clean- Do not use fabric softener. tradeinn Bikeinn
