    Drop of water on 100% polyester textile. Waterproof/breathable fabrics resist liquid water passing through, but allow water vapour to pass through.

  3. Nikwax Analogy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikwax_Analogy

    Unlike most "waterproof breathable" fabrics, Analogy can pass out liquid water as well as vapour. Unlike a conventional waterproof fabric, Analogy would fail a hydrostatic head test (if used to seal the bottom of a tube containing water, only a very short column could be supported).

  7. Sun protective clothing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_protective_clothing

    UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) represents the ratio of sunburn-causing UV without and with the protection of the fabric, similar to SPF (sun protection factor) ratings for sunscreen. While standard summer fabrics have UPF ~6, sun protective clothing typically has UPF ~30, which means that only 1 out of ~30 units of UV will pass through (~3%).

  9. Moisture management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_management

    Moisture-wicking clothes adsorb the liquid sweat on the skin and spread it along the surface of the fibres by capillary attraction to the external surface of the clothing, which is exposed to drier air, and where it evaporates more quickly, in comparison with a clothing item which absorbs and retains the water in the fibres. Hence it avoids ...
