drirelease® is a registered trademark of Optimer Brands. It is a patented, intimate blend of synthetic (hydrophobic) and natural (hydrophilic) fibers that accelerates the water release rate of wet fabric. Rather than spreading the moisture across the surface of the fabric, drirelease® actually pushes it to the outside of a garment, releasing water and perspiration faster than any other performance fabric on the market. drirelease® includes the added benefit of FreshGuard, an odor neutralizer embedded in all drirelease® fabrics, that virtually eliminates odor without using harmful chemicals and won't wash out. For more information, visit http://www.drirelease.com.
FreshGuard® is a registered trademark of Optimer Brands. It is an odor neutralizer embedded in all drirelease® fabrics. It eliminates odors in garments by blocking odor-causing sebaceous body oils from attaching to the fabric - also stopping the attraction of odor-causing bacteria. Not an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, which attack bacteria that possess positive functions, FreshGuard® is friendly to the environment. For more information, visit http://www.drirelease.com.
