This is achieved through the fabric's structure and material, which utilize capillary action to move moisture, unlike absorbent 吸汗的 fabrics like cotton that hold onto sweat. Common moisture-wicking materials include polyester, merino wool, and nylon. Moisture-wicking clothes adsorb the liquid sweat on the skin and spread it along the surface of the fibres by capillary attraction to the external surface of the clothing, which is exposed to drier air, and where it evaporates more quickly, in comparison with a clothing item which absorbs and retains the water in the fibres. Hence it avoids mass retention of the moisture and the associated feeling of dampness.
