Moisture Management System
Our process of topically treating polyester provides superior wicking and transport of vapor away from the body to the garment surface where water can evaporate. And it's durable for the life of the garment - tests show it continued efficacy even after 100 washings. All POLYGON fabrics include this feature.

Ultraviolet Protection
Considering today’s health risks, the ways in which you protect your body from the sun is becoming increasingly important. Select fabrics in this group have been specially engineered to provide protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays and carry a UPF Value according to the following classification system

Classification Category	UPF Range	UPF Values	Approximate % UV Blocked
Good UV-Protection	15-24	15 and 20	93.3%-95.9%
Very Good UV-Protection	25-39	25,30 and 35	96.0%-97.4%
Excellent UV-Protection	40-50+	40,45 and 50+	97.5%-98%

Anti-Microbial
Sweat stinks – but your garments don’t have to. All POLYGON™ products are available with antimicrobial protection that inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. The result is clothing that stays fresher longer.

Fast Drying
Fiber does not absorb moisture but leaves it on the surface of the fabric for evaporation. Garment stays drier and does not sag from moisture-retention.

The POLYGON® Technologies Collection is Coville’s latest performance knit category. Unlike most polyester performance fabrics, POLYGON® fabrics are engineered to provide multiple benefits to the wearer – all at the same time.

	Microdenier Polyester This is not your grandfather’s polyester. POLYGON™ fabrics are constructed using microdenier and near-microdenier fiber. Spun fabrics feature a soft, cottony hand while filament constructions present a luxurious and fine-drape hand.
	Low-Pill Everyone hates to wash their clothes and have them not look new afterwards. By use of special yarn-manufacturing techniques, all POLYGON™ fabrics resist the temptation to turn loose of fibers that causes garments to look worn. Garments look new wash after wash.
	Stretch Nothing provides comfort like stretch. POLYGON™ accomplishes stretch in two ways: for applications such as exercise or yoga that require power stretch, we’ve incorporated spandex; for a less-powerful, comfortable stretch, we feature KoSa’s ESP™ stretch polyester. Both provide just what you need to keep your clothing from restricting your activity.

Wrinkle-Resistant
You’ve just arrived at that favorite vacation spot and begin to unpack. The first order of business is to iron all those clothes, right? Wrong. POLYGON™ fabrics are carefree because they’re wrinkle-free. You can wear them all day and look like you just put them on. Pack them without worrying what they’ll look like when you arrive. Forget about your clothes and enjoy your vacation.

Soil-Release
You can never avoid the occasional stain. But you can avoid having to trash your garment because of it. POLYGON™ fabrics are treated with a special finish that makes stain removal a snap.
