Interesting facts
Moisture management + breathability = total comfort
Breathability - The performance of COOLMAX® fabric is inherent in the structure itself. The specially engineered fibers allow fabric designers to create high-performance fabrics that are soft, breathable, and moisture wicking.
Easy care - Garments made with COOLMAX® fabric are machine washable and dryable. However, fabric softener and chlorine bleach should not be used. Some garments may require special care because of the style, not the fabric. It is best to read the care label inside the garment.
Energy saving - COOLMAX® fabric is so quick drying that you actually reduce dryer use! Just hang wet clothes and be amazed at how fast they dry. Great for traveling, too!
Year-round comfort - In cold weather, COOLMAX® fabric is a great first layer, especially during high aerobic activities. It keeps chill-inducing perspiration away from your skin and moves it to the outer layers for evaporation. You stay warm when your body is dry.
COOLMAX® is a trademark of INVISTA.
