Evaluation of Wickability of Quick Dry Inner Wear

Article Preview

Abstract:

Quick dry inner wear products become increasingly popular in the tropical regions with a hot and rainy climate. This study evaluated the quick dry property of three inner wear for women available in the market via studying their wicking rates. It was found that one products had satisfactory wicking ability as they claimed, whereas one products showed no quick dry property.
