Parameta® A fabrics are rapid evaporation fabrics that help to keep you cool and protect you in warm environments.
All Parameta A fabrics wick very effectively, rapidly spreading perspiration over a large area to provide maximum evaporation in order to keep you cool at higher temperatures. It blocks virtually all damaging UV rays (UPF 50+), and the close weave deters biting insects.
Parameta A fabric comes in assorted weights to suit different requirements:
- Parameta A Light for travel shirts (100% polyester)
- Parameta A Cotton+ for legwear (cotton blended with modern synthetics for a rugged, fast-drying fabric).
