The most effective wicking material is polyester as it does not absorb moisture but transfers it well. Cotton is one of the worst and wool in between but nearer polyester than cotton. Polyester can also be made to be very slippy so in compression shorts it grips the skin firmly (no movement and no friction), wicks moisture away and has little friction between outer clothing and the compression shorts. The trick is to get shorts which are skin tight and move with your body - there should be no movement at all between the shorts and the skin. My problem is caused by the cheeks rubbing against each other (rather than against clothing) so wouldn't compression shorts tend to make this worse? I've always hated wearing polyester; the wicking tops seem OK but the HH shorts just seem to cause more sweatiness. Maybe the answer is to have tightish cotton over the polyester(?) Simple solution, fill the gap. ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwCPh...e_gdata_player Tim |
