Due to its low thermal conductivity, HydroTech possesses a high insulating power. HydroTech enables the air to become trapped in its tiny apertures, creating the most efficient thermal insulation of any fabric in the marketplace today.

The thermal protection is due to its light and voluminous structures. Coupled with this, moisture vapor permeability has proven that movements of heat and moisture through our most fabric is a major factor in determining its comfort. The moisture regain of HydroTech is virtually nil. HydroTech is the most effective fabric for energetic activists an well as those enthusiastic observers.

This fiber can not and will not absorb water. If water vapor cannot escape sufficiently and quickly through clothing, the relative humidity at skin level increases and condensation can occur - causing chills, discomfort, and possible harmful effects. With HydroTech this cannot happen. A comfortable balance of heat and relative humidity is maintained, and the fabric directly in contact with the skin is kept dry at all times.

A most important quality of HydroTech is its high resistance to abrasion which is similar to that of nylon and far higher than that of wool or acrylic. When wet, it maintains its low abrasion level. The wearer has a comfortable and easy care fabric that remains soft regardless of the fabric's activity.
