GoLite Drimove Zip Top

Backpacker: Tested Green Garments - 2007

This lightweight tee stayed funk-free for some testers, but not for others; that's the same thing we've noticed with silver-based anti-odor fabrics. Experts suggest it's a body-chemistry issue, but Cocona's activated-carbon finish, a product of discarded coconut husks, clearly kept armpit funk at bay for up to a week for several testers. The finish is silky and the cut relaxed.

Specifications:

An economical high-performing baselayer fabric

An affordable, lite-weight, wicking polyester knit that dries quickly and serves a great all-around performance layer for a wide range of sports.

Moisture-Wicking, Odor-Absorbing

All-Natural. Environmentally Friendly. High Performance

• The Cocona fabric enhancement technology in GoLite’s DriMove polyester performance layers is all natural and environmentally safe. It utilizes activated carbon from the inside of discarded coconut shells to keep the wearer dry and smelling fresh over extended use. Cocona's activated carbon does not wash out and provides UVA and UVB protection with a UPF of 50+ protecting the wearer from damaging sun exposure. The benefits of these high performance layers are easy to see, feel, and smell!
• Fabrics and yarns with Cocona absorb and transfer moisture off the skin to the garment’s surface over 50% faster than all leading polyester moisture management fabrics so you stay drier and cooler. Cocona absorbs and traps a wide range of odors so you smell fresher over extended use and through a wide range of conditions.
