Fabric that pulls sweat away from skin through capillary action.
What is Moisture-Wicking Fabric? Fabric that pulls sweat away from skin through capillary action.
Moisture-wicking fabrics use the structure of their fibers and weaves to draw liquid moisture from the skin to the outer surface of the garment, where it can evaporate. Polyester, polypropylene, merino wool, and certain technical synthetics all wick. The wicking process keeps skin dry and the wearer comfortable across exertion levels. Cotton is not a wicking fabric — it absorbs and holds moisture.
