Make what's inside count this autumn

Autumn in the UK is synonymous with unsettled weather conditions; unpredictable levels of rainfall, huge variations in temperature and an increased risk of storms can all be expected between September and November, which makes choosing the right riding kit extremely difficult.

An effective base layer can help deal with many of the issues associated with such changeable conditions - such as perspiration, overheating and chills - regulating and stabilising body temperature, acting as ‘climate control' for the rider.

The Knox Dry Inside ‘cotton-tech' base layer range does just that. It's the only base layer system available that combines the natural comfort of cotton with the wicking and water resistant properties of ‘technical' fabrics, and helps keep the wearer comfortable and dry, during such varied conditions.

Made from 95% natural cotton, with 5% Lycra® for a comfortable fit, Dry Inside tops and pants offer a flexible layer between the skin and outer garments, but unlike any other cotton base layers, are treated with 3XDRY® from Schoeller - 'The Feelgood Technology' - to help keep the wearer dry and regulate body temperature.

The 3XDRY® does this by absorbing perspiration from the inside of the garment and transporting it to the outside where it evaporates, stimulating a natural cooling effect, and helping to prevent overheating. All Knox Dry Inside garments are machine washable, and no re-proofing is required to keep the 3XDRY® layer performing; to re-activate, simply iron the garment inside out.

The Knox Dry Inside range includes long and short sleeve tops - priced £29.99 and £27.99 - and matching long and short pants - at £24.99 and £19.99 respectively. Both tops and pants are available in unisex sizes XS-XXL and the entire range has a fresh look for 2010, so the wearer can look as well as feel good this autumn.

Knox crew in Morzine

At Planet-Knox we take product testing really seriously ... but we have a lot of fun doing it too! Here are the Knox crew in the Alpine resort of Morzine (with 650km of slopesstarting from the village centre) testing out Knee Guards, Elbow Guards and Knox Dry Inside among other products. The picture on the left shows them before they went rapidly downhill and the second photo shows them after a hard day's riding, sampling a small glass of a locally brewed beverage. Cheers!

New look Knox Dry Inside base layer

Knox has given its Dry Inside base layer a fresh new look for 2010. Designed to keep the wearer dry and comfortable throughout the seasons, this technical collection of base layers combines the natural comfort of cotton with the wicking properties of synthetic fabrics.

Made from 95% cotton (and 5% lycra for a comfortable fit), Dry Inside is unlike normal cotton base layers because it wicks moisture away, leaving the wearer feeling dry and fresh. It achieves this because the material is treated with 3XDry® from Schoeller - The Feelgood Technology.

So the uncomfortable stickiness of a normal T-shirt or pants on the skin is diminished and unattractive perspiration marks are practically invisible from the outside. Added to this, the natural cooling-effect makes the wearer feel really good and energised.

Ideal for motorcycling, mountain biking, hiking, horse riding and most outdoor sports, Knox Dry Inside is easy to care for as it is machine washable. To refresh its 3XDry® properties simply turn inside out and iron.

The range includes long and short sleeve tops (at £29.99 and £27.99) and matching long and short pants (selling for £24.99 and £19.99) respectively, all in sizes XS – XXL.

What is 3XDry®?

1. Dry on the inside: moisture resulting from perspiration is quickly absorbed from the inner side of the textile with 3XDRY® treatment and distributed over a large surface area, before and escaping to the outside. This stimulates a cooling effect.

2. Dry on the outside: the 3XDRY® treatment reliably repels moisture, reducing the effect of dirt and stains. As only the inside of the textile absorbs moisture, perspiration marks are practically invisible from the outside.

3. Dry in a flash: the distribution of the moisture over a large surface area ensures rapid evaporation. Therefore, textiles with 3XDRY® dry noticeably faster.
