Element Pure Tencel Nanofiber Tops & Bottoms

Made from Tencel, a nanofiber derived from eucalyptus, these shirts from Element Pure are designed to fit like a second skin. The fabric is naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, so you can pack fewer tops on your camping trip or flight around the world, and still stay fresh and odor-free day after day. Tencel excels at wicking away moisture and dries more quickly than cotton and polyester, and its extremely fine fibers—1,200 times thinner than merino wool—create a soft, smooth feel. These shirts are meant to be snug and worn as base layers or on their own. If you prefer a looser fit, choose a size up.

Element Pure’s line of performance apparel encourages wearers to explore the great outdoors. So it makes sense that everything about the garments is kind to the environment—starting with the materials used. Engineered in Austria, Tencel requires 20 times less water to produce than cotton and generates five times less carbon dioxide than polyester during production. No harmful chemicals are used during the process, and the resulting fabric is biodegradable under compost conditions.
