Gator Skins Thermal Long Sleeve Shirt

Gator Skins Thermal Top is made with patented Light Weight Thermal Technology, with its remarkable heat capacity maintains body temperature without weighing you down. Gator Skins shirts are made with knitted sleeve cuffs to keep cold air out and crew collars to keep out of the way of other gear the rider may be using. The shirts also have extra long tails to stay tucked in while leaning forward when riding.

Fitting the Gator Skin shirt - The shirt is most often worn over a cotton t-shirt, though some customers prefer to wear them next to the skin. The shirts should be worn loose like a t-shirt. Wearing Gator Skin shirts too tight will impede their water repellent properties and their warming capacity.

Features

Water repellent
When fitted properly Gator Skins will repel water. Due to our circuitous cross-sectional knitting water will not penetrate the fabric.

Breathability
Though Gator Skins repel water they allow air to flow through the fibers. Air molecules are smaller than water molecules and move through the fabric, but the larger water is blocked by the micro fibers and turned away.

Heat retention
The secret of our performance lies in our patented construction and fabric. Ultra microfibers retain just the right amount of warm air next to the body insulating the body perfectly for a comfortable ride. Though Gator Skins is a breathable material, it still retains warmth in a miraculous new way. Due to the various fibers used, Gator Skins have the ability to allow some air to pass and some fibers to warm quickly and effectively hold onto warm air molecules. This second fiber has millions of tiny air pockets that trap warm air thus warming the fibers themselves, creating an inviting and pleasant experience.
