COOLMAX® was developed to effectively wick moisture away from the body and keep it dry for extended periods. It is a 100% breathable microfiber that guarantees the best moisture regulation among polyester fabrics available on the market, complying with all European quality standards, including hypoallergenic and eco-friendly materials.
This remarkable functionality is achieved through the high-tech COOLMAX® yarn. This new type of polyester features a four-channel structure, which enhances its capillary properties. The intelligent COOLMAX® fibers absorb moisture from the body, distribute it over a large surface area, facilitating its rapid evaporation. The hydrophobic nature of the COOLPASS® fibers allows sweat to pass through instantaneously, promoting quick drying. The result of these efficient mechanisms is the absorption, distribution, removal, and evaporation of moisture, leaving the skin dry. As a result, clothing made with COOLMAX® maintains an optimal body temperature.
COOLMAX® provides UV protection with a UPF 50 rating (almost 100% protection against ultraviolet rays). This makes it suitable for use in garments intended for regions with high sun exposure intensity (such as deserts, high altitudes, and tropical areas) and ensures comfort on hot days. Another significant feature of the COOLPASS® fabric that sets it apart from other similar fabrics is that the entire surface incorporates an anti-static thread. This thread aids in the dissipation and draining of static charge from the fabric's surface and the garment as a whole.
COOLMAX® polyester fibers are lighter and softer than cotton, do not retain odors, and exhibit increased durability. Products made with COOLMAX® have a lifespan that is seven times longer than cotton garments. This robust material does not require special care, as it does not shrink, stretch, or fade, while effectively retaining warmth and possessing impressive thermoregulation properties. Therefore, COOLMAX® garments preserve warmth in winter and dissipate heat in summer, making them ideal as a base layer for layered thermal clothing. This is why COOLMAX® clothing is widely used by manufacturers worldwide, catering to sportswear, outdoor apparel, as well as by law enforcement and military personnel.
Research has shown that COOLMAX® products absorb moisture 73% better than cotton and 346% better than nylon, while dispersing moisture 50% better than cotton and 640% better than nylon
