Wicking Clothing Keeps You Warm and Cool
Posted in Uncategorized on 01/10/2012 11:42 pm by ginnycrandallSkiing is my favorite sport. I love being outdoors on a beautiful, winter day enjoying the sun and the slopes. Skiing down a long run is a great workout and I tend to get hot and sweaty under all the layers of clothing. Then I get on the chairlift for the ride back up to the top of the mountain and become chilled due to the rapidly cooling moisture on my skin. Wicking clothing solves that problem by drawing moisture, like sweat, away from my skin and through the fabric where it can evaporate.
In theory, it sounded like a great idea so I went out a bought a set of long underwear made of wicking fabric. I was amazed at how well it worked. I still get a bit sweaty on the long ski runs down the mountain but the sweat no longer stays on my skin, trapped by my outer layers. The wicking clothing actually pulls the sweat from my skin and out through the fabric. Now I am perfectly comfortable and warm on the chairlift rides all day long.Other wicking clothing, like pajamas, can be really helpful to people suffering from night sweats. Exercise clothes made from wicking fabric also offer a great benefit for people who like to exercise outdoors in the heat or cold. I am sold on wicking clothing. It keeps me warm and cool at the same time.
