Moisture management protection

A new generation is embracing a more active, more healthy lifestyle. You want clothing that works as hard as you do, keeping you comfortable and dry, but continues to look good day after day. Scotchgard™ Protector with a moisture management finish helps transport perspiration away from the body and helps stains wash away in the laundry. So, even the most active people stay cooler, drier and cleaner.

A performance advantage

Active wear needs to stand up to rigorous usage and retain its functional properties. Scotchgard™ Protector Moisture Management finish helps active wear transport. Bonded to each individual fiber of the fabric, it forms an invisible, durable finish that stops stains and prevents absorbtion of perspiration, spreading it out for more effective evaporation. The results: clothing stays drier and is more comfortable to wear. Fabrics remain soft and breathable, with a look and feel indistinguishable from untreated fabrics.

Scotchgard™ label
  • Wicks away moisture
  • Helps most stains come out in the wash
  • Fabric remains soft and breathable.

For maintenance of Scotchgard™ Protector treated fabrics, please follow the care instructions in the garment or contact any professional dry cleaner near you.
