The physical structure of Coolmax fabric means moisture is pulled into it, away from the body. That moisture is then spread out thinly across the fabric to enable it to evaporate faster. The quicker it is able to evaporate, the dryer you are. This is what makes Coolmax such a popular fabric to use in both clothing and in mattress covers.
