T
hese days being a runner often includes planes, trains and
automobiles. Participating in a local 5K with friends and
neighbors is always an option, but an out of town race holds
special appeal. While textile execs may not be "front-of-
the-pack" runners, they are hip to the destination run trend
and are developing versatile, performance fabrics ideally
suited for garments worn before, after and to/from the
competition.
These fabrications offer technical properties along with
comfort features that enhance the total run experience. In other words,
travel-worthy textiles that transition seamlessly from sport to sightseeing.
Schoeller president Stephen Kerns says that Dryskin articles and Shape
pieces within the company's Cosmopolitan collection are a good fit for this
trend. DrySkin double fabric construction is developed especially for active
sports, and consists of synthetic fibers on the outside and functional fibers
on the inside for rapid moisture transport. Used in jackets and pants these
features hold up to wear and tear and can be styled for functional fashion.
