help Dryarn FAQ

What is Dryarn made from?

Dryarn is Aquafil's branded polypropylene microfiber, used in sportswear, underwear, and technical base layers. Its specific weight is about 0.91 to 0.92 grams per cubic centimeter, which helps garments stay exceptionally light. [Dryarn](https://www.dryarn.com/en/the-fibre/)

Does Dryarn absorb sweat or move it away?

Dryarn absorbs very little water, with its technical page listing liquid absorption at about 0.13 percent by weight. The fabric is designed to move perspiration toward the outside so it can evaporate instead of leaving the skin clammy. [Dryarn](https://www.dryarn.com/en/the-fibre/)

Is Dryarn actually antimicrobial?

Aquafil describes Dryarn as bacteriostatic and dermatologically tested, which is why it is used in next-to-skin garments. That means the fiber is designed to limit bacterial growth and odor, not that it sterilizes clothing or replaces washing. [Aquafil](https://www.aquafil.com/products/textile-yarn/)

When was Dryarn first launched?

Dryarn says Aquafil launched the fiber in 1999 as a high-performance polypropylene material. It later appeared in products from sportswear makers such as Dynafit and Montura, especially lightweight baselayers.
