THE STAY DRI SECRET

Stay Dri is manufactured from SRL2000, a unique high-quality Polyester Microfibre that is layered on both sides by a dual HYDROPHILIC coating that displays almost mystic qualities. Pull on a Stay Dri jacket over your bare arm and feel the delicious, soft and silky feel of the fabric. This is a garment that breathes beautifully and never becomes clammy against your skin. That is why it is very much at home over a short-sleeved shirt and being totally windproof as well, allows the wearer to retain their body warmth with a minimum of underclothing.

A good test of any rainwear is to form a cup with the fabric and run some water onto it. The SRL2000 coating is so aggressive in rejecting water that the offending water is immediately forced into a globular form by its own surface tension and just wants to run off the fabric. For improved visual effect, ensure a seam is included in the cup. The water globules will sit above the seam for as long as one cares to hold them there.

The same total rejection of water means that regardless of how heavy the rain may be, the water just takes the easiest route off the garment, definitely not through a seam, but just away from the fabric. In strong wind and rain, the effect is even more remarkable and dramatic. Because of the total absence of friction between garment and water, the surface remains completely dry as the water droplets dislodge and continually run off. Scientifically stated, the microscopically fine pores of the SRL2000 coated fabric are large enough to pass perspiration in the form of steam outwards, but in turn, are thousands of times too small to allow passage of a water molecule which, quite literally, cannot pass inwards through the coating.
