What is Work-Dry® fabric?

Tuesday, March 10, 2009 by Customer Service Team

 

Our Work-Dry® materials are designed to provide two key workwear features: wicking properties and an anti-microbial treatment.

Wicking refers to the garments ability to pull sweat away from the body and push it to the surface of the garment where it evaporates. This prevents perspiration from remaining close to the skin, which can be harmful in both hot and cold weather. In hot conditions, trapped moisture may heat up and lead to fatigue. In cold conditions it may lead to feeling chilly in the body and in extreme cases, hypothermia could occur.

Our highly effective anti-microbial treatment is a substance that kills growth of sweat induced bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites, effectively eliminating work-related odors. We use the industry leader in topical treatments that eliminates 90% of bacteria and 75% after approximately 20 washings compared to the industry standards of 80% bacteria elimination and 70% after 5 home launderings.

Our Work-Dry® products are available in knit shirts as well as base layers in our Men’s and Women’s lines- just look for the black and white Carhartt logo. We also feature some Work-Dry® items in our High-visibility Workwear, gloves and caps.

So the next time you have a task that requires a little sweat, Carhartt Work-Dry® just might be the perfect fit.
