UPF Protection
Designed for comfort and protection, this synthetic microfiber fabric offers an ultraviolet protection, blocking out harmful UV rays while promoting wicking and breathability for comfort in hot climates.
UV radiation is an invisible part of sunlight associated with suntans, sunburns, premature aging, and skin cancer. The sun-protection properties of a woven or knit fabric are dependent upon the transmission, absorption, and reflection of UV radiation. The fiber type, dye, construction, and finished determine these characteristics. Our UPF-rated garments offer very good UV protection from prolonged exposure to the sun.
VaporWick®
VaporWick™ is a proprietary fabric of The North Face® that moves moisture and sweat away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric where it can readily evaporate. This process is accomplished by the capillary action of hydrophobic fibres. Capillary action moves moisture and sweat in all directions from where it is abundant (the user's skin) and transports it to areas of lesser density (the fabric's outer surface). The removal and evaporation of sweat and excess moisture helps to keep you dry and comfortable.
