Which fabrics do not trap sweat?

Say moisture management or open weave.

Do not write 'does not trap sweat' as a guarantee.

“Which fabrics do not trap sweat?” is the only question this page answers. The short answer is: Cloth traps sweat when it blocks airflow or holds moisture against the skin. Open linen and cotton can feel drier in heat. Some polyester knits are built to move moisture along the face. A coated cloth or a tight synthetic can do the opposite. There is no fiber that never traps sweat.

The points to keep are Airflow is construction. Wicking is a finish-and-knit story. The activewear guide covers sport briefs.
