Sweating comfortably during the hotter months is often just a matter of having the right clothing. Buying quality, moisture-wicking clothes can be well worth the investment in terms of comfort and allowing you to push yourself through warmer temperatures.
Are Some Materials/Fabrics Better Than Others?
Choosing stretch fabric with moisture-wicking properties is your best bet for dealing with the sweat of summer. Most of them are polyester-based, but the fabrics are woven in a way that allows them to be more permeable. These are better than cotton and spandex blends.
