MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
If you are moving at all outdoors, you're going to sweat and that's a fact. The key to staying dry and comfy is having a soft layer of fabric next to your skin that will wick your perspiration away like a sponge. Enter Nike DRI-FIT. The result is a dry layer of insulating fabric next to your skin that will work to keep you warm and happy no matter how much you pump up the sweat-meter.

THERMAL REGULATION
When it gets a little chilly outdoors, you have to have some more insulation to add to your moisture management layer. Which insulation you choose and how much insulation you need depends a lot on how dry or wet the conditions appear to be and how cold the temps are. Nike offers 4 specialized insulation materials, each with different properties to keep you warm and comfortable during different activities.
PRIMALOFT PRIMALOFT

PRIMALOFT

A combination of millions of fine polyester fibers that inhibit wind and repel water. Used in ACG gloves for superior warmth, Primaloft retains 95% of its thermal capacity when wet, which is why we think itıs one of the best insulating materials, hands down.
 
THERMA-FIT THERMA-FIT

THERMA-FIT

For outdoor athletes that need a second layer as tough as they are, this dense quick drying, polyester microfiber fleece is engineered to keep the heat inside while you're playing in the cold outside.

PWR GOOSE DOWN PWR GOOSE DOWN

PWR GOOSE DOWN

Down is the very best insulator when you are worried about weight and packability. As long as down stays dry, it has the highest weight to warmth ratio of any insulation material -- every see a duck or goose shiver? We didn't think so. . Too hot for all day wear? Itıs easily packable into its own stuff sack.

PROTECTION
Weather stops for no one so unless you stop playing when the weather turns damp and windy, you're going to need protection. For activities when you are more worried about a protective layer breathing so your inside climate doesn't turn swampy, think Nike Storm-Clad. If Mother Nature is dumping buckets of rain your way while breathing heavy, you need maximum protection from the wind and rain which is where Storm-Fit shines. Waterproof, windproof, breathable. It's nice to have a friend to hide behind when things get nasty.
STORM-CLAD STORM-CLAD

STORM-CLAD

Thanks to its inner polyurethane coating and a little chemical magic, this weather resistant material helps keep out rain, sleet, wind or snow, while allowing perspiration to pass freely from the inside - out. 
STORM-FIT STORM-FIT

THERMORE

The workhorse of the line and your best choice for waterproof protection. Storm-FIT is fully seam-sealed to keep out rain and snow, while allowing your sweat an escape route through a microporous membrane that can handle even the roughest weather.
