Innovation for the modern day explorer
For over 40 years, The North Face® has provided an authentic solution to the real needs of athletes.
FLASH-DRy : Sweat removal and temperature regulation
As a leader in the outdoor industry, The North Face® has developed
innovative, proprietary fabrics that incorporate microporous particles
to improve moisture management and temperature regulation during outdoor
activity. FlashDry™ fabrics feature a microporous particle additive
that accelerates the removal of moisture from the skin and
speeds evaporative drying. FlashDry™ enables the user to stay drier,
more comfortable and out performing longer in a wide range of weather
conditions and environments. FlashDry™ doesn’t add weight or bulk and
never washes or wears out.
BENEFITS:
- Accelerates evaporation and keeps you dry
- Most effective moisture management
- FlashDry is permanently embedded in the yarn and won’t wash out
- 100+ different products with FlashDry technology within our running, snowsports, climbing, and hiking apparel, baselayers, and accessories.
FLASHDRY™ FIBER TECHNOLOGY
FlashDry™ fiber technology incorporates permanently embedded microporous
particles
at the fiber level, which increase fiber surface area. High surface
area fibers in conjunction with fabric construction
accelerate evaporative cooling and drying.
Product Inclusion: Baselayers
FLASHDRY™ THERMAL TECHNOLOGY
FlashDry™ Thermal technology incorporates permanently embedded microporous
particles
into synthetic fibers. The result is an exceptional warmth-to-weight
ratio that keeps you warmer and more comfortable with less weight and
bulk.
Product Inclusion: Fleece, Hiking
FLASHDRY™ LAMINATE TECHNOLOGY
FlashDry™ laminate technology utilizes a hydrophilic
waterproof breathable laminate that transfers both liquid and
evaporative moisture generated by the body during intense activities. A
three-dimensional, microporous layer of particles is printed onto a
hydrophilic membrane surface. Unlike hydrophobic membrane technology,
the FlashDry™ laminate transfer mechanism facilitates both liquid and
vapor transfer while maintaining a durable 100 percent
waterproof exterior shell. FlashDry™ enables the user to stay dry, feel
less clammy and more comfortable in wet environments.
Product Inclusion: Running, Climbing, Snowsports shells
