drirelease® is a registered trademark of Optimer Brands. It is a patented, intimate blend of synthetic and natural fibers that combine wicking and quick drying attributes into a single yarn.  Instead of spreading the moisture across a fabric’s surface, drirelease actually pushes it to the outside of a garment, releasing water and perspiration faster than any other performance fabric on the market.   drirelease includes the added benefit of FreshGuard®, an odor neutralizer embedded in all drirelease  fabrics that virtually eliminates odor without using harmful chemicals.  All drirelease attributes are inherent to our yarns, meaning they will not wear or wash out.  For more information, visit www.drirelease.com.  

FreshGuard® is a registered trademark of Optimer Brands. It is an odor neutralizer embedded in all drirelease fabrics. It eliminates odors in garments by blocking odor-causing sebaceous body oils from attaching to the fabric – also stopping the attraction of odor-causing bacteria. Not an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, which attack bacteria that possess positive functions, FreshGuard is environmentally friendly.  For more information, visit www.drirelease.com.
