How do F5 certified fabrics “manage moisture”?
The build-up of moisture underneath clothing can cause patients discomfort by skin irritation, development of rashes, or even an infection. Fabrics that absorb body moisture and pull it away from the skin promote evaporation and air permeability. In order to enhance to this fabric breathability, F5 fabrics incorporate Coolmax® Comfort System technology into the design which allows the fabric to score high rates of moisture absorption during testing. The benefits of Coolmax®-certified F5 fabrics are permanently built right into the fiber, requiring no chemical treatments like those other Powernet based fabrics. F5 fabrics provide moisture management by wicking, absorbing, and evaporating moisture.
