breathable fabrics
Ventilating clothing materials
Breathable fabrics allow air and moisture to pass through, keeping the wearer cool and dry.
The term appears in clothing marketing and textile discussions: These breathable fabrics wick sweat away from the skin.
Cotton, linen, and certain synthetics like moisture-wicking polyester are common examples.
The quality matters most in athletic wear, summer clothing, and bedding.
