Level I: Light-Weight Undershirt & Drawers

How Does Polartec® Power Dry® Work?

Moisture and high relative humidity next to the skin causes discomfort. Polartec® Power Dry® keeps the skin dry through three complimentary mechanisms:
The fabric is highly breathable and does not restrict the movement of moisture vapor.
“Touch points“ on the fabric’s inner surface draw off the sweat. Sweat is wicked off the skin to the outside of the fabric where it spreads rapidly for evaporation. Polartec® Power Dry® fabrics move at least 30% more moisture away from the skin than single component fabrics.
When the sweat reaches the outside of the fabric, it spreads out to many times its original surface area, enabling it to dry at least 2 times faster than cotton.

GEN III Level I is the base layer for the latest ECWCS clothing at ADS, Inc. Level I is worn directly next to the skin as insulation with other layers or to aid in the transfer of moisture. More lightweight than previous ECWCS clothing systems, GEN III Level I consists of underwear and drawers made from Polartec Power Dry Silkweight material. Polartec allows Level I clothing to be breathable, to dry fast, and to wick moisture away from the skin. This allows for evaporative cooling in warmer weather when coupled with heavier clothing layers, as Polartec prevents the movement of moisture from restriction.
