women's sports braHelly Hansen SPORTS BRA base layer A Technical "W Support" women's sports bra. The women's sports bra is designed to KEEP YOU DRY by using Helly Hansen's lifa stay dry fabric. This athletic support women's sports bra is designed to support a woman's body shape and excels at transporting excess moisture away from the skin. When there is a need to keep moisture away from the skin, a top quality base layer is essential. All clothing in direct contact with your skin should be of base layer technology.
What makes Helly Hansen Base layers different from anything else?
Most baselayers work on the principle of "wicking". The fabric absorbs moisture and spreads (or wicks) it across a greater surface area so it can evaporate more quickly. The problem with this is that you'll still have wet fabric against your skin and as we've learned, wet fabric steals body heat 25 times faster than dry fabric. Since LIFA can't absorb water, it can't wick moisture. Instead, LIFA uses your own body heat as a catalyst to push sweat vapor THROUGH the garment to your second layer (ie: fleece) where it is then absorbed and wicked for evaporation. However, the LIFA fabric will always stay dry next to your skin. I've been told wool will retain warmth even when wet. Is this true? While no garment will retain all of it's warmth when wet, wool does a very good job at retaining MOST of it's warmth. Still, that begs the question: if you had a choice, would you rather be warm and wet or warm and dry? Helly Hansen's philosophy is to keep you dry and by doing this, you're going to stay warm. What if I need extra insulation to keep me warm? If you need extra insulation, try our HH Warm base layer. It is made from superfine Merino wool to provide added warmth. However, like all Helly Hansen base layers, it has LIFA next to your skin so you are always dry, warm and comfortable. |
