DRI F.I.T.
Moisture Management
Keeps you
cool or warm, but always dry.
If you work out, you're
going to sweat. But are you still going to stay comfortable?
Removes
Sweat
Dri-F.I.T. microfiber works to
keep you comfortable - transporting perspiration from your skin
to the outside for rapid evaporation. Work out. Sweat. Stay comfortable.
Dri-F.I.T. fabric wicks moisture away from your skin to keep
you dry, especially where light weight is important. As moisture
is produced by the body, it moves quickly through the first (hydrophobic
or water-hating) layer of the Dri-F.I.T. garment. This layer
neither absorbs nor slows down the moisture; instead, it acts
as a pump or syphon, delivering the moisture to a second (hydrophylic
or water-loving) layer, which disperses the moisture across the
outer surface for rapid evaporation. Dri-F.I.T. fabric - lightweight,
breathable comfort.
Case Study -
A weekend warrior charges into
your sports store and interrogates you as to why she should buy
a Dri-F.I.T. top instead of a regular cotton polo. You calmly
reply that she will sweat in both tops when she works out. In
fact, swea t is good, you say. But, too much and you'll overheat
or get chilled. Dri-F.I.T. keeps you comfortable.
CLIMA
F.I.T. Protection from the Elements
Provides breathable protection against the elements.
Maybe
moisture can't get in from the outside, but can it get out from
the inside?
Water-Resistant
Clima-F.I.T. is a microfiber
that resists rain, wind and snow wile keeping you comfortable
by allowing excess body heat and perspiration to escape. Protective,
lightweight and extremely breathable. Clima-F.I.T. microfiber
protects you from wind, ligh t rain and snow. Its high breathability
allows for the efficient passage of moisture vapor to keep you
comfortable while resisting outside moisture. Ultra-fine filaments
are tightly packed into a woven construction. (How fine? Take
a half a paper clip a nd stretch it out to a length of 5 1/2
miles!) These spaces are too small to allow outside water droplets
to enter, yet large enough to let perspiration vapor exit. The
use of a dense weave also eliminates the need for a special laminates
or coatings. The result is a truly lightweight, water-resistant
fabric with outstanding breathability and a soft, supple hand.
Case Study -
A running fanatic comes in your
store dripping wet. She says she's tired of getting wet and wants
a jacket that will resist light rain but still remain breathable.
You tell her that, sure, keeping rain out is important, but the
sweat and heat buildup on the inside is equally as important.
Ever try to work out in a yellow slicker? Clima-F.I.T. provides
protective breathability.
THERMA
F.I.T. Insulation
Offers an exceptional
warmth-to-weight ratio.
You can wear almost anything
to stay warm. But can you still move?
Warm and Light
The tight weave of Therma-F.I.T.
fleece works like a microfiber blanket - extremely warm, light
and comfortable. Lightweight freedom from the cold. Therma-F.I.T.
microfleece provides superior warmth. It dries quickly, compresses
easily and has the s oft hand of cashmere - thin, warm, light
and stretchy. Exceptional thermal properties come from the use
of microfibers (ultrafine, soft, supple yarns) in a dense weave.
The fleece is brushed on both sides, which doubles the air pockets.
This "dead" air is the best insulating vehicle known.
Body heat warms the air in these spaces, which retain their energy
and resist heat loss to the outer surface. Equal in temperature
range to comparable products, but with much less bulk, these
densely constructed Th erma-F.I.T. garments provide greater warmth
and wind resistance that other thermal fabrics.
Case Study -
Roger Rockslide takes a lot of
day hikes and wants a comfortable top that will keep him warm
but won't take up too much room when he stuffs it in his day
pack. Roger has two options. He could continue toting his heavy
wool jacket or he could opt for lightweight freedom of movement.
Therma-F.I.T. allows for this lightwight warmth.
STORM
F.I.T. Superior Waterproof Protection
The waterproof yet breathable solution.
What's
so great about keeping water out when you're already soaked from
the inside?
Waterproof
Storm-F.I.T. as a breathable
fabric carries away sweat. As a waterproof shell, it repels outside
moisture. And as a soft, supple garment, it will keep him not
only totally dry but incredibly comfortable.
Case Study -
He's a tech-head. he's an avid
cross-country skier. And he knows he needs a jacket that will
keep him dry when he's skiing hard in heavy snow and sleet. (Perspiring
lightly in a refreshing mist he is not. We're talking sweating
buckets under cloudbu rsts.) But what he doesn't know is that
Nike created Storm-F.I.T. fabric.
Each
garment can be used individually to address specific needs and
conditions. Maybe all you need to go cycling in Arizona is a
Dri-F.I.T. jersey to keep you cool and dry. But if you're hiking
above tree line, you may want to take advan tage of the layering
capabilities of NIKE F.I.T. - Dri-F.I.T. fabric to stay dry and
comfortable, Therma-F.I.T. microfleece for warmth, Clima-F.I.T.
microfiber for protecion from the elements and Storm-F.I.T. microfiber
for waterproof breathability. What ever your needs, NIKE F.I.T.
fabrics have a solution.
