PERFORMANCE FABRICS

Know the difference!
Almost every "performance apparel" on the market is coated with wicking and anti-microbial fabric treatments. These coating work great while they last. This is fine for occasional wearing but not for the serious performance apparel consumer.

Vapor Apparel is made with Intera Yarn, the only patented permanent moisture technology that makes fabrics cooler, warmer, soil resistant, odour resistant and bacteria resistant. The technology is in the yarn, not a coating applied later. Washing Intera fabrics creates zero loss in moisture management performance.

THE FASTEST DRYING TIME IN THE INDUSTRY
Prove It!: In controlled wash and dry tests,
Intera dried as much as 100 minutes faster than the best performing fabric coating in the market. After both 20 washes the results speak for themselves. After all it is about performance.

IS THERE A WASH TEST PROCEDURE?
Intera Corporation's wash test procedure is scientifically controlled to replicate home launderings. An improper wash test procedure will provide inaccurate durability results.

PERMANENT IS PERMANENT
Claims are made that other moisture transport technologies are permanent for so many washes. This can be misleading because the moisture transport capability decreases with each home laundry, in fact these other finishes lose up to half of their capabilities after only 10 home launderings. Not only would you be very upset, you might consider it fraudulent. Wearing a polyester shirt without moisture transport capabilities in the heat of athletic battle will not only be hot but could be dangerous.

ANTI MILDEW, FUNGUS, BACTERIA AND ODOUR TECHNOLOGY
Other technologies need anti-bacterial finishes to reduce odours. They are active chemicals using heavy metals to destroy odour causing bacteria (microorganisms). These chemicals are not permanent and will wash out over time.Because of the dry nature of the Intera technology, bacteria is starved of the water it needs to survive. In fact, the Intera technology starves microorganisms of virtually all water thus preventing mildew, fungus, bacteria and odour from developing.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PETRIE
Each piece had equal amounts of Candida yeast placed on it. The dish was then covered for 48 hours. Yeast grew in the cotton because it holds moisture. Yeast developed in and under the polyester because it acts like a barrier blocking evaporation. The Intera polyester had no yeast develop under it or in it.
