Parameta A Cotton

What it does:
All Parameta® A fabrics are Directional fabrics that wick very effectively, rapidly spreading perspiration over a large area to provide maximum evaporation in order to keep you cool at higher temperatures. They also block out virtually all damaging UV rays, making garments that are ideal for travel and warm weather activities.
 
Key benefits: 

• Lightweight and comfortable – you hardly know you’re wearing it. 

• Exceptional UV protection 

• Wind resistant 

• Insect resistant because of dense weave 

• Antibacterial finish for freshness 

• Maximum evaporation and cooling through spread of perspiration over a large area 

• Rapid drying – eliminating cold spots after exercise by reducing ‘pooling’ of perspiration 

• Ideal when travelling – minimal weight to wear and carry and quick and easy to wash and dry on the move
