Although cotton fabric is soft and skin-friendly, it will be sticky to body after sweating, and dry slowly. It is easy to cause sweltering and uncomfortable feeling. But moisture wicking functional fabric can perfectly solve the shortage of traditional fabric. For its excellent breathability and moisture conductivity, moisture wicking fabric has become the preferred fabric for sportswear and commuter wear, which is widely applied in various kinds of underwear, sportswear and outdoor wears.
The core characteristic of moisture wicking fabric is its unidirectional moisture conduction and quick drying. Moisture wicking fabrics are mostly made of polyester fiber with irregular cross-sections, which can form fine capillary channels inside the fabric by special technique. By capillary effect, the sweat and moisture on skin surface can be quickly drained to the outer layer of fabric, and then rapidly evaporated through air convection, achieving a complete cycle of “moisture absorption – moisture conduction – evaporation”.
The most obvious advantage of this fabric is that it is quick-drying without sticking to body. After human body sweating, the fabric will not absorb and lock in the sweat, but always keeps the skin dry, which eliminates the embarrassment of clothes being sticky to body. It can effectively reduce residual sweat breeding of bacteria, and avoid problems such as sweat retention and odor. At the same time, this fabric has excellent breathability. The fiber gap structure can accelerate air circulation and has an excellent heat dissipation effect. When wearing it at high temperature, it is dry, comfortable and not sweltering.
In addition, moisture wicking fabric is very durable and not easy to crease. It has higher stability. It can still keep flat and soft after washed.
