Is Coolmax Better Than Cotton ?
For those of you new to performance apparel clothing, you may be wondering, “Is Coolmax Better Than Cotton?” You may have heard the claims of coolmax clothing (or other high tech apparel), such as they “dry faster” and they’re more comfortable to wear in hot environments or during athletic activities. Here are the reasons why Coolmax is superior to cotton:
Quick Drying
Coolmax fabrics are engineered to transport moisture away from your body towards the outside of the fabric to evaporate, making you feel cool and dry. Cotton clothing does not have this property. If you sweat and you’re wearing a cotton shirt, the cotton will absorb the moisture, holding it in for a long period of time.
Saves on Energy Bills!
Performance apparel fabrics such as coolmax are breathable and evaporate moisture at such a rapid rate, you don’t need a dryer to dry any coolmax clothes.
Coolmax Doesn’t Wrinkle, Fade or Shrink
Because of the nature of the coolmax fabric, it resists the common problems associated with cotton clothes, which are wrinkling, fading and shrinking.
