quick dry

Dries very fast

Quick dry describes materials or products designed to lose moisture rapidly.

Quick-dry fabrics wick sweat away from skin and evaporate it fast—useful for athletic wear and travel clothing: I packed quick-dry shirts for the hiking trip.

The term also applies to nail polish, paint, or concrete formulated to set faster than standard versions.

Sometimes hyphenated: quick-dry.
