Roll It. Band It. Pack It.... That's the motto for Rollnband.

Rollnbands are elastic bands that make it very easy to hold your cargo in place. They can be used on clothing, yoga mats, sleeping pads, and maybe a set of blueprints. Basically anything rolled up that you don't want unrolled is a good use for the Rollnband.

Terramar is one of the leaders in baselayer clothing. Their body-sensors line is made from micro polyester, and features the ec2 Qwik-Dri fabric technology.
