Colmar’s Racing Team line is the result of in-depth research into insert and fabric technology and active collaboration with the star skiers and teams.

Colmar, leading high-performance designer sportswear brand, chose Dryarn for its 1146 jacket. The innovative microfibre that is said to offer outstanding comfort thanks to its lightness and its ability to maintain body temperature while wicking perspiration.

Seamless technology

The 1146 jacket comes in vibrant active colours in a mechanical stretch fabric that is paired with a material sporting a high-impact matt/gloss texture.

Rounding off the look are carbon-effect inserts. The 100% Dryarn lining with seamless technology works in conjunction with the outer membrane to give maximum breathability and insulation, the company reports.

Breathable and comfortable

Colmar chose Dryarn because it does not absorb moisture, is highly permeable for water vapour and helps to maintain a constant temperature.

This blend of features, according to Colmar, means that the fibre is breathable and capable of creating a microclimate for thermal comfort: perspiration evaporates quickly without soaking the fabric, thus ensuring that the skin is always dry.

While many fibres prevent the body from perspiring properly or only partially allow it for a limited time, laboratory tests have shown that Dryarn performs extremely well during both normal and vigorous exercise.

Perspiration management

During heavy physical exertion, Dryarn is able not only to deal with perspiration in the liquid state but it is also said to regulate how it is conveyed by adapting to changes in its intensity.

Dryarn is capable of extremely quick, effective perspiration management, which enables the body to maintain the ideal microclimate for the skin once it has stopped sweating, the manufacturer reports.

By using Dryarn in the lining of the 1146 jacket, Colmar aims to offer insulation and breathability together with lightness and wearability. Rather than being tight and restrictive, the fit closely matches the wearer’s movements.
