How Moisture-Wicking Fabrics Work?
Moisture-wicking fabrics function through a process known as capillary action—the movement of liquid (in this case, sweat) through tiny channels in the fabric, driven by the interaction between the liquid and the fabric’s internal surfaces. Manufacturers enhance this process by precisely engineering the structure of the yarns and applying specialised treatments to optimise performance.
No need to worry about the science—just know it keeps you dry.
Why Choose Moisture-Wicking Fabric?
When you're working up a sweat, that moisture evaporates from your skin, creating a natural cooling effect. Once your body reaches a comfortable temperature, sweating slows down—it's a remarkably efficient process, and one that moisture-wicking fabrics are designed to support.
Ideally, moisture-wicking materials should be used in any clothing that sits close to your skin, particularly during aerobic or sweat-inducing activities such as running, hiking, or playing sport. They’re also an excellent choice for everyday wear in hot climates, helping you stay dry and comfortable throughout the day.
Most Moisture-Wicking Fabrics Are Synthetic
When moisture is absorbed into a fabric's yarns, it tends to stay trapped rather than moving through the material—resulting in poor moisture-wicking performance. Synthetic fabrics, such as polyester and nylon, are hydrophobic, meaning they naturally resist water absorption. This quality makes them particularly effective at drawing moisture away from the skin and promoting quick evaporation.
