When you are “working out” in some manner of physical activity, you are generating several byproducts, two of which are relevant to our topic – heat and salts. These wastes have to go someplace, and they are most often transported to the My Mom Doesn’t Usually Yell But When She Does Her Team Iowa Women’s Basketball Are Playing Shirt besides I will buy this outlet readily available – your skin. There, heat begins to radiate off, and when it can’t dissipate fast enough, is diffused into water, which combined with the salts, constitutes sweat. Sweat then rolls or is shed off your skin by motion or gravity, or evaporates faster with air moving across it. Cotton is an organic fiber and typically feels best on the skin. It’s cheap. It’s breathable. It drapes and fits well, but only achieves a more form-fitting shape when blended with an elastane (lycra, spandex). It also launders very well. Trouble is, it absorbs and retains water, but doesn’t transport it (wick or allow it to easily evaporate). So, with all that moisture held in the garment, it no longer allows sweat to (and heat) to dissipate, it increases the weight, decreases mobility and range of motion, and frankly, starts to chafe. The more weight you carry, the more heat you retain, the more encumbered you feel – the more fatigued you get.
