Coolmax® fabrics are designed to move moisture away from the body and enhance fabric drying rate thus, keeping you feeling cool and dry.

What's the difference between Coolmax® fabrics and other polyester fabrics?
Coolmax® fabrics are specially designed to provide not only superior moisture management, but also to enhance comfort. The specially-engineered fibers using Coolmax® fabrics provide enhanced breathability (called "air permeability" by the techies) that differentiate Coolmax® from generic polyester fabrics, which use standard round fibers. Air permeability is just one of our key performance tests that fabrics must pass before they can be sold as "Coolmax®". And, remember, that all of the benefits of Coolmax® fabrics are permanently built right into the fiber, requiring no chemical treatments like those other wicking fabrics.
Why are Coolmax® fabrics more comfortable?
Moisture management + breathability equals total comfort
Do covers made from Coolmax® require special care?
Covers made with Coolmax® fabrics are machine washable and dryable; however, fabric softeners and chlorine bleach should not be used.
What are the advantages of Coolmax® vs. cotton?
Besides its positive effect on maintaining body core temperature, Coolmax® is fast drying, breathable, and resists fading, shrinking and wrinkling. |
