Our fabrics are more than just materials, they're the key to a comfortable and stylish outdoor adventure.
As we celebrate National Textiles Day on May 3rd, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes behind our favorite garments. At Free Country, we take pride in finding the best materials for our gear, so you can stay comfy and look sharp, no matter the season—or destination. Each fabric is carefully chosen to make your outdoor experience even better, so you can focus on having fun and looking awesome! Let’s take a closer look at three of our fave textiles and what makes them so special.
Microtech: Versatile Comfort for Any Season
Microtech is like your go-to sidekick: Whether you’re working out or hanging out, it caters to your needs. It’s ideal for both active endeavors and leisurely downtime at once! This innovative fabric is a Free Country favorite because it’s all about balancing function and fashion—it keeps you cozy in the cold and cool in the heat.
In activewear, we use our signature Microtech Chill fabric to keep you cool—literally. It regulates your temperature so you'll always feel just right. The breathable four-way stretch fabric dries quickly and wicks away moisture so you can get active outside and enjoy the sun—sans sweat. Plus, with anti-odor technology, you'll stay fresh from sunrise to sunset.
Step outside with confidence, courtesy of our X2O fabric—the ultimate shield against the elements. Seam-sealed and lightweight, X2O rain jackets are engineered to repel rain while offering unparalleled comfort and mobility. Crafted from a 100% waterproof and wind-resistant fabric, they ensure you stay dry even during the heaviest downpours.
With its four-way stretch and breathable construction, X2O fabric empowers you to navigate the outdoors with ease, rain or shine. The built-in UPF 50+ protection shields you from harmful UV rays, while the lightweight design prevents you from feeling weighed down. Plus, the fabric is recycled, so you can feel good about rocking it!
Cloud Knit: Soft-As-Air Everyday Essentials
Designed with movement in mind, our Cloud Knit fabric is like wearing a dream. Whether used in shorts, joggers, hoodies or cool cropped pants—the result is the perfect blend of coziness, style and performance.
The breathable fabric wicks away sweat to keep you dry and comfortable all day long, while four-way stretch ensures freedom of movement. Easy to care for (it’s machine-washable!) and even easier to wear, these wardrobe wonders are equally suitable for lazy days lounging or heart-pumping sweat sessions.
