ABRASION RESISTANT
We build our ToughDry® apparel out of 94% Nylon to make it tougher. It is the same durable fabric used to make the USA flag Neil Armstrong planted on the moon.
LIGHTWEIGHT + 2-WAY STRETCH
At 125-187 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) all of our ToughDry® apparel is insanely lightweight. Plus infusing our fabric with Spandex creates added stretch + recovery.
