Keep Cool with Moisture Wicking

If you work outdoors then you know how hot and dry Colorado summers are. To stay safe and healthy, it’s crucial to drink plenty of water and find shade when you can. It’s also important to wear the right uniform. Although it would be great to put on light shorts and a tank top, unfortunately you have a company image to uphold. That’s where we come in.

When working in hot weather, cotton uniforms are not exactly your best friend. Cotton absorbs sweat but does not allow it to dry, causing damp spots in your uniform. If you’re a fan of working out then you may be familiar with wicking fabric. It’s the breathable, moisture absorbing fabric that companies like Under Armour or Nike make their athletic clothing out of. Service Uniform uses Red Kap Touchtex wicking technology to keep you dry and comfortable. Touchtex wicks sweat off the skin and spreads it over the fabric face where it evaporates within seconds.

Wicking means the fabric absorbs sweat by capillary action. Capillary action is the ability of liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces. In simpler terms, wicking material keeps skin dry and helps avoid chafing and swings in body temperature.

When the temperature starts to rise, Service Uniform has what you need to keep cool. We understand how important uniforms are to you and your company, so we want to make sure that everyone is comfortable, in or out of the office.
