EC2® Qwik Dri™

Terramar's exclusive Electrostatic Comfort Control EC2® Qwik Dri™ process has the ability to actually lift moisture molecules away from the body and break them down for rapid evaporation.

Water's chemistry is the key to the performance of the EC2® Qwik Dri™ process. EC2® Qwik Dri™ negatively charged particles attack the natural cohesion that holds moisture in drops by attracting the positively charged ends of water molecules and breaking them down. Although the electrostatic charge is imperceptible to the body, it pulls moisture from the skin and disperses it through the fabric for rapid evaporation.

EC2® Qwik Dri™ fabrics are energy efficient systems that help reduce thermal stress for the active person by flexibility favoring evaporation -- cooling the body in warm weather.

The EC2® Qwik Dri™ process uniquely and permanently modifies the fiber so as to improve the fiber's ability to move and release moisture.

EC2® Qwik Dri™ fabrics have an amazing ability to pull moisture away from the body in warm temperatures. The more a wearer perspires in warm temperatures, the more the fabric electrostatically moves moisture from the body and spreads it over the garment for faster evaporation, keeping the active person cool and dry.

Because EC2® Qwik Dri™ fabrics act as an extension of the skin, they improve the ability of the skin to thermoregulate. During periods of decreased activity or inactivity, EC2® Qwik Dri™ fabric reduces the evaporation process leaving the wearer comfortable and dry. During high levels of activity and extreme weather conditions, EC2® Qwik Dri™ polyester and silk help active people perform at their very best. Because the electrostatic process is not dependent on wicking, the garment does not need to be in contact with the skin for the EC2® Qwik Dri™ process to work.
