If you’re not familiar with the brand, task Performance is an Orleans based brand, and their latest MicroAir fabric comes after years and years of trial and error, research, numerous prototypes, not to mention 2 PGA pros embracing their products; however, the new technology developed by these guys literally cuts no corners.
Tasc Performance is basically a lifestyle brand with an emphasis on golf, and they’re well known among professionals for their comfy apparel which is built using sustainable fibers, hence if you care about performance but you’re “green at heart”, tasc Performance should definitely fit the bill. The new MicroAir Polo Collection is trying to dethrone the myth of 100 percent synthetic fibers, i.e. tasc Performance managed to create a unique fabric technology that not only is better than synthetic fiber in terms of sustainability, but it also performs in a natural way and it provides natural comfort.
The new technology is also relying on MicroModal fiber, which uses very fine micro polyester for a lightweight profile that’s incredibly smooth and soft. The respective polyester fiber is also very breathable, and according to Todd Andrews, the co-founder of tasc Performance:
We saw a need for a lighter weight, but durable, easy to wear fabric that could separate from the skin and drape nicely, while moving moisture and drying fast. We combined nature, using MicroModal fibers from beechwood trees, and innovative spinning and fabric finishing methods to achieve a fabric that performs naturally.
Basically, the new MicroAir Polo collection from tasc Performance is trying to bring something new to the world by combining both natural and synthetic fibers for achieving a mélange of performance and sustainability. Other companies use 100 percent synthetic materials in their apparel, fibers that are treated with various chemical substances in order to achieve performance-inducing features, things like moisture wicking for example. The problem with 100 percent synthetic materials is that after a number of washing cycles, the finishes will degrade, not to mention the fact these simple fabrics don’t breathe, so in the end you’ll be left with a simple polyester synthetic garment devoid of performance-enhancing qualities, and you’ll finally end up tossing the short in the garbage can.
The MicroModal technology used in the MicroAir polo collection is blended with fine denier micro-polymer due to a complex technological spinning process perfected by tasc Performance, with the end result being an ideal balance between performance and comfort, which meets and exceeds the demands of golfers and complements our modern lifestyle as well.
