Do you know what your gear is made of?
The guys at UF PRO have put an article together at their blog, highlighting the material features used in most of their garments. Get to know POLY COTTON!
Poly-cotton (polyester-cotton or PolyCo) is a fabric made from two base materials—polyester and cotton. These two base materials are good by themselves but have shortcomings that blending them overcomes.
The benefits of blending them are remarkable. Together, PolyCo is:
- Strong and durable
- Breathable
- Colour-fast
- Economical (compared to 100% cotton)
- Fast drying
