Wicking Properties of Men’s Quick-Dry Sportswear

Abstract:

In this study, the quick dry properties of summer men’s T-shirts of different brands (Nike, Adidas, Laishilong and Columbia) in Hong Kong market were explored by analyzing the wicking behavior. Laishilong was found to be the best sample in terms of vertical wicking for both short and long period. For the Nike fabrics, the wicking rate in courses direction was better than that in wales direction, whereas the vertical wicking of front body for Adidas was better than the back body. By contrast, Columbia performed the poorest in terms of vertical wicking for long period. With the help of this study, the general wicking properties of men’s quick-dry sportswear in the market can be compared which provide some idea to the consumer for product selection.
