Fashion forward with outdoor versatility in mind; rugged when dry, soft when submerged. Our crinkled nylon has an almost three-dimensional depth to its texture yet is quick-drying and holds off stains with its DWR finish. It’s lightweight and street-tough with a bold style.
DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating is the outermost finish applied to exclusive 686 fabrics increasing their contact angle and thus repelling water while maintaining high breathability. DWR also helps repel stains and oils that can damage your garment's surface.
