DriClime

DriClime® Moisture Management Technology is a family of uniquely plaited bi-component knit fabrics engineered to mechanically draw moisture away from your skin to keep you dry, warm and comfortable.

The key to DriClime is 3-Dimensional Wicking. As moisture moves from the inner fabric touching your skin to the outer fabric, it spreads out across the outer fabric to speed the drying process. DriClime never stops working; it continually passes moisture through to the outer surface for fast evaporation. It is not a finish that washes or wears out; it works forever.

DriClime technology is available in a wide range of products: shelled microclimate layers, base layer, gloves, sleeping bags and backpacks.


M3

Marmot M-series fabrics are designed for moving light and fast. They combine stretchable, water repellent, abrasion resistant and highly breathable shell materials with insulating buffer materials on the inside.

M3 shells are the most breathable in the M-series. They are best for high aerobic use in mild conditions.


Mountain Bike Rider 3/09 Approach Jacket

Stood the Test of Time

The softshell Approach has been a favoured jacket over the really cold snaps we’ve had this winter as it’s thick enough to negate the need for too many layers underneath. It’s also got some nice features like a hem cord adjuster inside the pockets. - JD
