DriFIT

Dri-FIT is a brand name for Nike, Inc.'s moisture-wicking fabric technology. Designed to move sweat away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric, Dri-FIT employs polyester microfibers to enhance evaporation and keep the wearer dry and comfortable during physical activity. It is used across a wide range of Nike apparel, including T-shirts, jerseys, shorts, socks, and accessories, and is often combined with mesh panels or other fabrics to improve ventilation and stretch.

Dri-FIT fabrics function by capillary action, drawing moisture away from the body and distributing it over a larger surface area for quicker evaporation. In practice, this can help reduce cling and chill and can improve comfort during workouts. It is not a waterproof or water-repellent fabric; it is designed for moisture management and breathability rather than immersion protection.

The term Dri-FIT is a registered trademark of Nike, Inc., and the technology has been associated with Nike's performance wear since its introduction in the early 1990s. Over time, Dri-FIT has become a standard feature in many Nike product lines and is marketed as part of the brand's approach to athletic comfort and performance.

Care for Dri-FIT garments typically mirrors standard washing instructions for polyester athletic wear: machine wash cold, with like colors, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which can interfere with wicking performance.
