Let’s Talk Moisture Wicking

So what is moisture wicking? Well, it is a property of some fabrics that pulls sweat away from the skin and onto the surface of the fabric where it evaporates quickly thus not leaving you in sweat-saturated fabric. This is a great property to have in clothing worn during sweat-producing activities such as running or hiking. If you are looking for customized athletic wear for a sports team you are coaching, ask us for a moisture wicking fabric. Not only does it evaporate sweat quickly but in doing so it also provides comfort as it produces a cooling effect and helps regulate your body temperature. You will see this moisture wicking effect in synthetics such as nylon and polyester. Although cotton is breathable, it will leave you covered in sweat making you feel hot and sticky after a work out.
