Learn how the DropTemp® Dry Top uses double-knit fabric, cooling tech, and UPF 50+ to keep you dry, cool, and comfortable during active days.
Quick answer
The DropTemp® Dry Top keeps you cool by combining a fast-drying double-knit fabric with exclusive cooling technology and UPF 50+ protection, preventing sweat marks and overheating during hot active days.
Why Double-Knit Fabric Matters for Cooling
The DropTemp® Dry Top’s double-knit construction is key to its performance. Unlike single-knit shirts that trap moisture against the skin, the double-knit structure creates air channels that move sweat away from your body and spread it across a larger surface area for faster evaporation. This means you stay dry longer, even during intense activity.
Cooling Tech and Sun Protection in One Layer
Beyond moisture management, the top integrates exclusive cooling technology that actively lowers your skin temperature on contact. This is paired with UPF 50+ sun protection, making it a practical choice for outdoor workouts or long days in the sun. The trade-off is that the fabric is slightly thicker than a standard performance tee, which some may notice in extreme heat, but the cooling tech compensates by keeping you comfortable.
How to Get the Most Cooling from Your DropTemp® Dry Top
- Step 1: Choose the right size for airflow: The cooling effect relies on the fabric sitting close enough to your skin to wick moisture without being tight. Select a size that allows a finger to slide between the fabric and your chest. A too-loose fit reduces the wicking action, while a too-tight fit can trap heat. Check the size guide and measure your chest before ordering.
- Step 2: Wear it as a base layer for maximum cooling: For the best cooling performance, wear the DropTemp® Dry Top directly against your skin. Avoid wearing an undershirt beneath it, as that creates a barrier that blocks moisture transfer and reduces the cooling tech's effectiveness. If you need extra coverage, choose a thin, moisture-wicking base layer instead of cotton.
- Step 3: Rinse after heavy sweat sessions: Salt and oils from sweat can clog the fabric's wicking fibers over time, reducing its drying speed. After intense activity, rinse the top with cool water and hang it to dry. This simple step preserves the double-knit fabric's performance and prevents odor buildup. Avoid fabric softeners—they coat the fibers and block moisture movement.
