What is wicking?
Wicking is an efficiently designed system for dispersing perspiration throughout the fabric which results in rapid evaporation of perspiration and body vapor. Basically there are 3 approaches to creating the wicking function. (1) By fabric structure (ex. FIELDSENSOR*) (2) By yarn structure (most sport knits in the market are this type.) (3) By chemical reaction (ex. STUNNER*QD) Among these three different mechanisms, in the fabric structure, number one, FIELDSENSOR* works best. The unique FIELDSENSOR* three dimensional (3-D) wicking mechanism is similar to the capillary action found in the earth’s natural plant life. Additionally an important benefit of FIELDSENSOR* activewear is that repeated washings normally have no negative affect on the fabric’s function.
