Sports quick-drying clothes, as the name suggests, are clothes that dry faster, and their main function is to quickly wick away sweat. Note that sweat is wicked, not absorbed. Sports quick-drying clothes can quickly transfer the sweat on the surface of the skin to the surface of the clothes, and quickly evaporate the sweat through air circulation to achieve the purpose of quick drying.
Sports quick-drying clothes are all pure fiber fabrics, and they are very thin, without natural fibers such as cotton and linen. Because fibers such as cotton and linen are too absorbent and lock in moisture, when exercising in summer, clothes made of cotton and linen will be close to the body, and sweating will make people feel more uncomfortable.
Therefore, in terms of sweat absorption, sports quick-drying clothes are not as good as cotton. However, when exercising, sports quick-drying clothes can ensure that the clothes will not be stuck by sweat, so they are more comfortable to wear. “Sweat is not sticky” is also the policy pursued by quick-drying clothes.
The difference between good and bad sports quick-drying clothes is mainly in the speed of drying and the feeling of being close to the body.
A good quick-drying fabric, such as SUPPLEX, will emphasize that it feels like cotton, but in fact there is no cotton at all.
