Why do quick-drying clothes dry quickly

Quick-drying clothes are a type of clothes that are easier to dry. They are more suitable for wearing during exercise, as this can help the evaporation of sweat. They are also more convenient to wear in daily life and dry faster after washing. The reason why quick-drying clothes dry faster is mainly because of their fabric. They contain polyester fibers. This type of clothes is not easily stained with water and can promote the evaporation of moisture, so they dry faster.

Why do quick-drying clothes dry quickly?

1. Polyester fiber contains 100% polyester fiber, which will make consumers feel uncomfortable as if they are wearing a layer of nylon on their bodies. To avoid this situation, different brands have their own solutions based on their functional positioning. Some change the discomfort caused by polyester fiber after absorbing water through different weaving methods; some pay more attention to comfort and practicability and add some cotton and other ingredients; some can make cotton fiber and other fabrics also have good quick-drying function.

2. COOLMAXCOOLMAX is the most common and relatively widely used fabric, developed by DuPont. The outstanding feature of this fabric is its strong sweat absorption and perspiration removal function, thanks to the hollow structure of COOLMAX.

3. MONY-DRYMONI-DRY is a moisture-absorbing and quick-drying fabric developed and produced by COLUMBIA. Its main characteristics are super volatility and water absorption, which are 2 to 3 times stronger than ordinary cotton cloth, thus effectively keeping the wearer of quick-drying clothes comfortable and dry.

4. ACTIVENTACTIVENT is a chemical material produced by the American GORE company that is windproof, very breathable and slightly water-proof. It is a thin film that needs to be pressed together with other nylon materials. It is more suitable for quick-drying clothes chosen by cycling enthusiasts.

Cleaning and maintenance of quick-drying clothes

Like hiking shoes, quick-drying clothes also require proper cleaning and maintenance measures. For quick-drying clothes that are not waterproof, they can be washed in the machine.

For Teflon-coated or other waterproof fabrics, their water-repellency will decrease to varying degrees after washing, depending on the intensity of use. They can be restored using "Niwax" spray.

Early quick-drying clothing fabrics were mostly made of polypropylene, which is prone to pilling, and the more times it is washed, the more obvious the phenomenon becomes. It is prone to aging when drying or near fire. Later, polyester was used instead of polypropylene. Its characteristic is that it is not easy to pilling and aging. When washing these two types of fabrics, do not rub them vigorously, and if washing in a machine, set them to the "gentle" setting. When drying, just like hiking shoes, it is best to avoid direct sunlight, as synthetic fibers can easily age in direct sunlight. In addition, the fibers used in quick-drying clothes are almost not fire-resistant materials. A spark may destroy your carefully selected quick-drying clothes, so everyone is reminded to pay attention to fire prevention when smoking or having a bonfire party.
