Gatorskins® thermals are the warmest and best solution for cold weather outdoor sports; in fact, they are
a fantastic warm body answer for any outdoor activity in cold weather. Knitted from an extremely thin and
lightweight material that moves with the wearer. A breathable and rugged fabric, that is water repellent.
and warms three times better than wool. Great stuff!
The Gatorskins® technology was developed by DuPont researchers from a new leading edge material.
This micro fabric is knitted from ultra microfibers that are smaller that a human red blood cell, yet they
hold a greater amount of warm air next to the body than traditional fabrics of equal or greater thickness.
Gatorskins® will keep you warmer in the cold and dryer in wet weather and still breath better than any
other water repellant material you've tried.
Gatorskins® is proudly made in the U.S.A. by a veteran owned company.
Water repellent / windproof
When fitted properly Gatorskins® will repel water and not allow wind to enter the shirt. Due to our
circuitous cross-sectional knitting, wind will never penetrate the fabric exterior.
Breathability / wicking capabilities
Though Gatorskins® repel water and wind from the exterior; they allow air to flow through the fibers from
the inside out. Air molecules are smaller than water molecules and move through the fabric, but the larger
water molecules are grabbed on the inside by the micro fibers and evaporated with the air flow, thus
wicking sweat.
Heat retention
The secret of our performance lies in our patented construction and fabric. Ultra microfibers retain just the
right amount of warm air next to the body insulating the body perfectly for a comfortable experience.
Though Gatorskins® is a breathable material; it still retains warmth in a miraculous new way. Due to the
various fibers used, Gatorskins® have the ability to allow some air to pass and some fibers to warm
quickly and effectively hold onto warm air molecules. This second fiber has millions of tiny air pockets that
trap warm air thus warming the fibers themselves, creating an inviting and pleasant experience.
Damage proof
Gatorskins® will not fray, even if you somehow manage to punch a hole in one of our shirts, it will not rip,
run or fray. Due to the lock knit technology used, the damage will not increase.
