GLOVE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

INFIDRY™ from 686 keeps you drier and more comfortable all day long. Through a combination of comprehensive textiles and fabric technology, we bring you two layers of dryness and warmth. Layer one is composed of abrasion resistant fabric coated with a DWR finish, while the second layer contains waterproof and breathable properties that protect you from the elements while wicking moisture away from your body.

DWR (DURABLE WATER REPELLENT)

600mm water permeability

Used on all 686 outerwear fabrications, DWR is the last finish applied on the shell fabric surface. It enables the fabric to shed water, preventing saturation and enhancing the coating or laminate beneath the fabric. DWR also helps repel stains and oils on the surface which can impede the fabrics “breathability”.
