Airdrive™ is a group of innovative and Brand-New functional coatings which give extremely high breathability and condensation resistance—providing an ideal Micro-Climate within clothing. These innovative membranes are infused with an extremely moisture absorbing material (EKS Powder), developed by the advanced polymer high technology of TOYOBO.

EKS Powder
TOYOBO has developed an extremely moisture absorbing material EKS Powder. The superb characteristics of this material are as follows:

• Extremely high moisture absorbing power (about 3 times as much as Silicagel)
• Moisture absorbing and discharging speed is extremely fast to make moisture control possible
• Generates heat when absorbing moisture and cools down when discharging

Airdrive™— Performance:

• Moist-Reactive Membrane
  EKS POWDER, contained in Airdrive™ membrane, chemically reacts to both vapor and liquid perspiration. It quickly absorbs perspiration and generates heat. This heat energy is utilized to quickly discharge the absorbed moisture to the outside


• Extremely High Breathability
  This mechanism (chemical reaction) of moisture absorption and discharge gives Airdrive™ membrane more breathability compared with conventional membranes


• Extremely Low Condensation
  Superb breathability of Airdrive™ membrane with excellent hydrophilic character of EKS POWDER prevents dew condensation, and features the ideal Micro-Climate within clothing
