TFG Eskimo Second Skin Top in Bulk (10) 2879

TF Gear's Second Skin uses a highly innovative fabric specifically developed for extended periods of high action sports activity. It has three major properties which when combined make an extremely effective fabric, ideal for active sportsmen and women who need their clothing to work efficiently over long periods of time. A flat knit filament polyester yarn on the inner face gives exceptional wicking characteristics, helping to keep the surface of the skin dry. A spun Polyester yarn pique finish on the outside gives the fabric loft and a good warmth to weight ratio. The Polyester yarns absorbs just 0.4% of their own weight in moisture (as opposed to 30%+ for cotton) helping to keep the body dry and warm. The fabric is treated with a 'sanatized' finish giving it highly durable anti microbial properties - minimising odour build up during extended periods of use. TFG Second Skin System garments are designed to be worn next to the skin for maximum efficiency, and as the base layer of a Layer System. A Layer System is based on a simple principle - water transmits heat thirty times faster than air. So wet skin gets cold thirty times quicker than dry skin. To keep warm in the worst conditions first of all you must stay dry. To do this your clothing must: 1. Transport body moisture away from the skin 2. Hold dry warm air close 3. Keep the rain and snow out Thats what a 3 Layer System does, in three lightweight, non-restrictive layers. Layer 1: Worn next to the skin, this layer's primary function is to transfer (wick) sweat away from your body. All garments from our Thermal range, mid or lightweight, are designed for just this purpose. Layer 2: The main job of the mid-layer is to hold warm, dry insulating air inside the clothing system and close to the body. Layer 3: This layer must be completely waterproof to the outside elements.
