Omni-Wick is moisture-management technology for the outdoors. It moves moisture away from the body and enables perspiration to evaporate quickly.


Omni-Wick is moisture-management technology for the outdoors. It moves moisture away from the body and enables perspiration to evaporate quickly.

During physical activity, increased body temperature causes perspiration. Normally this results in damp, clammy and uncomfortable clothing. With Omni- Wick clothing, moisture is quickly wicked up into the fabric, and away from your skin.
The moisture spreads out across the surface of the fabric where it quickly evaporates. This wicking/evaporation process keeps you cool and the clothing dry. You stay dry, which helps regulate temperature, prevent chafing and keep you comfortable all day. Work up a sweat without getting all wet.
