Hi there, I noticed Rab introducing a lot of "Dryflo" stuff for this winter. E.g: http://rab.equipment/ww/shop/new-for-winter-15/dryflo-reg-150-zip-top-30 Does anyone know a bit more about this fabric or did comparison to similar ones like polartec? Just curious what the benefits or differences are.. Thanks, Christoph

Dryflo? (Rab)

My guess is that it's just rebranded/updated MeCo, at least that what it seems like from poking around.
From the description it seems as if it's a synthetic fabric. MeCo is a Merino mix
Dryflo is just the name Lowe Alpine gave to their range of baselayers and since LA focuses now on packs, all their clothing went to Rab. And yes, it's purely synthetic.
"From the description it seems as if it's a synthetic fabric. MeCo is a Merino mix" Yeah, sorry, makes perfect sense. MeCo, Merino Cocona mix, 37.5 is straight synthetic.
Thanks for the clarification Woubeir – I didn't know that. Do you know how it compares to similar fabrics?
I think its mechanism worked like Powerdry, but who knows how it will work now. For the rest nothing special.
Thanks!
Doug, I believe "37.5" is, confusingly, the new name for Cocona. Dave
When Lowe Alpine made Dryflo, it was lightweight, wicked very well, and dried quickly.
