Absorbing and Moisture Wicking Products and Accessories
Dress for hot environments with absorbing and moisture wicking clothing from Magid as well as other safety brands! This technology improves air circulation and provides a greater degree of comfort than other body cooling materials to help you stay cool as you work. But how exactly does wicking material help you stay cool, and how can it help your team while they work in hot environments?
What Does Moisture Wicking Fabric Do?
Used in many work and safety garments, moisture wicking fabric technology diverts sweat and other forms of moisture away from the wearer’s skin through capillary action. In this process, tiny holes in the fabric draw sweat and moisture through the material away from your skin. From here, the moisture either evaporates on the material’s surface or is absorbed, helping the wearer remain dry rather than continuing to wear soaked-through, uncomfortable clothing.
This design helps the wearer remain cool, controls their body temperature better, and aligns with workplace safety objectives to reduce the risk of developing heat-related illnesses. And since moisture gets drawn through the fabric, moisture wicking and absorbing fabrics won’t become damp and uncomfortable to wear during your workday.
PPE Options for Absorbing and Moisture Wicking Fabrics
If you regularly work in hot conditions and think moisture wicking and absorbing PPE can provide cooling relief as part of an all-encompassing heat safety plan, consider:
- Moisture wicking apparel , which gives shirts and other base layer garments that lie against the skin moisture wicking and absorbing properties
- Moisture wicking PPE, which lets accessories like dew rags, sweatbands, and hats further assist wicking apparel with managing perspiration and moisture
