Fit & Layering Guide

KUIU Layering System

Verde Camo cloth treated with DWR repelling water.

Detailed View of Vias Camouflage Fabric Highlighting Primeflex Polyester Fabric

K DWR® (KUIU DURABLE WATER RESISTANT)

Once a fabric is soaked, insulation and breathability are compromised. KUIU’s Durable Water Repellent (K-DWR) treatments bead and resist water, keeping it from penetrating the outer layer. This increased breathability and performance allow waterproof membranes to evaporate your sweat while blocking out moisture. K-DWR also enhances dry-time and protects from light rain or dew-soaked vegetation on non-waterproof products.

Toray Primeflex

Fabrics that get their stretch from as much as 10% elastane, spandex, and Lycra® materials are heavy, slow to dry, and don’t last. Primeflex fabrics solve the problem of restrictive clothing by utilizing a patented spiral yarn that allows the fabric to stretch and recover without using water-absorbing spandex. Primeflex fabrics are quick dry and offer durability, comfort, and stretch without the weight.
