NIKE FIT - Functional Innovative Technology
• NikeFIT DRY garments help keep you dry and comfortable
• NikeFIT is a system of innovative fabrics designed to keep the athlete comfortable across a wide range
of conditions and activities
• BASE LAYER: Dri-FIT fabric is designed to be worn as a base-layer next to the skin by itself or under a
mid or outer-layer
HOW DOES IT WORK? CONSTRUCTION
• Dri-FIT fabrics utilize a unique combination of yarns and construction to move moisture rapidly away
from the skin
• Hydrophobic (water-hating) fibers draw perspiration away from the skin. These fibers neither slow down nor absorb the moisture. Instead, they act as a pump or siphon, delivering the moisture to the surface of the garment.
• Once at the surface, Dri-FIT fabric works to spread out the moisture over a wide area, much the way a squeegee spreads water puddles across the surface to hasten evaporation. The result is dry comfort during high-intensity workouts.
Dri-FIT fabric helps keep you dry and comfortable by wicking sweat away from the skin and
transporting it to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate rapidly.
How it works - What it does
• NikeFIT DRY garments help keep you dry and comfortable
• Nike Sphere is an apparel technology where the fabrics have a 3-dimensional structure that creates a personal atmosphere around an athlete. Air space amplifies the body’s own ability to heat and cool
itself
• BASE LAYER: Nike Sphere Dry technology garments are designed to be worn as a base-layer, directly
against the skin
HOW DOES IT WORK? CONSTRUCTION
• Microfibers wick sweat from the skin to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate rapidly
• A 3D fabric structure reduces surface contact with the skin to reduce cling from perspiration • Garment design maintains airspace between the body and garment
Nike Sphere Dry technology helps keep you dry without clinging to the body. The fabric sweats away from the skin, transporting it to the surface of the fabric where it can evaporate rapidly. The 3D structure holds the fabric away from the skin to reduce cling. The garment design maintains the air space between the body and the garment.
