What Makes Our Rapid Dry Range Great!
Lightweight, Breathable & Durable
Rapid Dry is a lightweight, fast drying fabric in which the material is 'infused' and then 'heat set' with a water repellent treatment (WRT). This method achieves a finish that is vastly more effective at shedding water and lasts much longer than traditional fabric treatments. The Rapid Dry fabric is warmer than cotton and nylon/lycra synthetic fabrics when wet. It has an SPF50+ rating for full sun protection, is lightweight, breathable and durable.
