When buying fitness clothes/sportswear, it is almost impossible not to encounter "Moisture WICKING". Brands always claim that their fitness clothes are made of moisture-wicking materials, which shows its importance. So what exactly is it? HC sportswear takes you to explore:

What is a "moisture wicking" fabric? How does it work?

Moisture wicking fabrics are often referred to as "moisture absorbing and quick-drying fabrics" or "breathable fabrics". Moisture-absorbing and sweat-wicking fibers have two main functions: one is to quickly drain sweat to the outer surface of the fabric; the other is to dry quickly so that your sweat will not soak the fabric. As a result, you will feel more comfortable because your body can effectively regulate the temperature, and the fabric that touches your skin has a dry, non-sticky feeling.
