About the
technology

FlashDry™ fabrics are engineered to wick moisture away from your skin, helping to keep you dry, cool and comfortable.

The fabric acts like a second skin against the body, pushing moisture to the surface of the fabric and eliminating it as fast as possible.

The fast-acting moisture managing tech means FlashDry products help you staying dry even during the most demanding aerobic activities.
