Moisture escapes through the quick-dry outer shell in the form of evaporation, carry with it heat from the wearer's body.
A
specially blended combination of hydrophilic fibers and hydrophobic fibers work to absorb, trap and distribute
the optimal amount of water that is released over a period of time through evaporation.
Coated with a durable, water-repellent finish, the inner lining keeps the wearer dry and comfortable while transferring heat away from the body into the fiber core where it is evaporated.
All Silver Eagle personal cooling products are made with a unique three-layer evaporative cooling fabric that
works with your body's heat and tap water to improve upon the body's natural cooling process. Silver Eagle
fabric can NOT be found in any other products.
The core of the fabric's functionality is also the core of the fabric's three-layer composition: special
hydrophilic fibers (fibers that attract water) and hydrophobic fibers (fibers that reject water) are combined
into a thin, lightweight batting. This batting is sandwiched between a breathable outer shell fabric and a
thermally conductive, inner lining to form three layers. The result is a cooling composite that is designed to
hold an optimal amount of moisture without becoming over-saturated or soggy. This controls the weight of the
garment when activated and optimizes the evaporation properties of the fabric. No chemicals, gels, cords or
refrigeration are required to activate the cooling process.
Silver
Eagle Outfitters apparel is made a unique composite fabric that promotes evaporative cooling. In independent
studies performed by Auburn University's Department of Health and Human Performance (1) and Thermal Lab (2),
physiological responses, thermal responses, and comfort perceptions were measured to determine the benefits of
wearing a Silver Eagle cooling vest.
