Why activewear dries quickly and cools you down...
Activewear is designed to be worn next to the skin, providing the wearer comfort by maintaining body temperature and controlling moisture. The fabrics used are highly wicking (they will spread moisture out over a large area), fast drying and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for base layers.
To keep sports clothing functioning properly, care must be taken when washing. Using conventional household detergents or fabric softeners can impair wicking properties, causing the fabric to retain moisture. This leads to reduced wicking capabilities and slow drying of the fabric. Over time a build-up of bacteria and body oils, especially in synthetic active clothes, can lead to them smelling. If using conventional detergents or fabric softeners, odors will not be adequately removed. Instead, they are masked by perfumes which fail quickly, leaving you with smelly items!
