About Moisture Wicking:
Moisture wicking is the property found in some synthetic fabrics that transfers moisture away from the body onto the outer layer of the fabric where it dries faster. Moisture wicking is typically used in athletic apparel designed to improve moisture evaporation and breathability, which helps increase the performance and endurance of the athlete.
