Have you ever wondered about the different fabrics available in cycling jerseys.  We have had several questions about what’s best in fabrics.   We have chosen one brand (Canari) to discuss some of the fabrics and their benefits.

Core Vent:
With a 80/20 blend of nylon and spandex, CoreVENT is designed to achieve the ultimate breathable performance. For the first time, compression and breathability unite for an evolutionary breakthrough in mesh technology, regulating your core body temperature to near perfection.

Dri Lux:
A light-weight polyester derivative of Meryl, dri-Lux has very similar qualities but is only two-thirds the weight and offers enhanced moisture management with unmatched skin temperature regulation.  Offering an ultra luxurious hand makes dri-Lux the softest, lightest fabric Canari has ever offered.

Drycore:
A Micro-Filament Engineered 100% Polyester yarn gives this high performance fabric a unique softness, providing superior durability and comfort. These specifically shaped and engineered yarns increase moisture wicking capabilities and comfort with unsurpassed performance.

Meryl:
The Meryl fabric system is the first hollow core bacteriostatic Micro-fiber nylon in the world. It allows the skin to maintain its natural bacteria level, ensuring hygiene, protection and moisture management during intense physical activity. Our Meryl system has a great natural feel and utilizes the most advanced technologies to bring our consumers a fast drying and thermal regulatory fabric.
