The Philippines, being a tropical country that is often subjected to high extremes in temperature, provides many challenges to it's inhabitants and their day to day lives. Technical fabric clothing can help alleviate some of the discomforts of tropical climates at work, in school, or even at home. Many business establishments provide their employees with breathable fabric uniforms, and the same is true with schools that have switched from the standard cotton Physical Education shirts, to the more modern breathable fabric ones. Parents have even started to provide their children with breathable fabric undershirts to wear in and outside school. This undershirt practice can also be adapted by adults for use under their barongs during office hours and while attending formal occasions. With features that provide for unparalleled skin comfort and temperature control, the applications for technical breathable fabric shirts are virtually innumerable. But for us at Wicked Active Gear, one use for our shirts stands out over the rest: as sleepwear. Hard for us to explain it. It just is. Try it.
]]>1. Get a shirt you want to test, and place it on a hanger, with the inside part of the shirt facing out.
2. Get a medicine dropper filled with clean water.
3. Place a few drops of water on the shirt, and see what happens.
If the water drops form beads once they contact the shirt, or even roll down the surface of the shirt, then this shirt fails the test.
If the water is instantly absorbed upon contact, then the shirt that you're testing is truly a breathable shirt.
A breathable shirt is designed to absorb sweat away from your body, drawing it to the outside surface where it evaporates in the air, particularly if the wearer is engaged in some form of movement or physical activity. For a shirt to be able to do this, it's inside part must be highly absorbent so it can blot out the moisture on the wearer's skin. Also it should be porous enough to trap the moisture in the outside surface, to allow the air to dry it out quickly. If the shirt is not absorbent, the sweat just beads inside the shirt, and is just spread around, producing a slick and sticky feeling.
So the next time you want to be really sure, just add water. Then you'll know.
