When it comes to summer, staying fresh, cool, and dry is a must! Here are the best fabrics to wear this summer to keep you cool and dry:

1. Blends

Blends of natural and synthetic fibers, such as cotton, polyester, nylon, and rayon, offer a winning combination of comfort and breathability. These are the fabrics found in athletic wear and ThermApparel Cooling Vests. They’re specifically engineered to wick moisture away from your skin, keeping you cool and dry.

When choosing blends, opt for fabrics with a higher proportion of natural materials to synthetics for the best balance of comfort and performance.

Looking for a way to stay cool without compromising your style? ThermApparel Cooling Vests are crafted from spandex (just like your favorite yoga pants) and breathable mesh, delivering cool, dry comfort for 2-4 hours, allowing you to participate in your favorite activities longer and more comfortably.

Our Cooling Packs are engineered to prevent sweating, so they won’t get you, your clothing, or your costume—whether it’s everyday wear or a fursuit—wet. 

2. Cotton

In general, clothes made from organic materials are best for keeping you cool. Cotton is a great fabric: breathable, comfortable, and inexpensive! These days, you can get just about any clothing item made from cotton for a great price!

3. Linen

Linen, a more upscale cotton cousin, is a lightweight organic fabric. Linen is traditionally popular in tropical and humid climates because the fabric is specially woven for maximum breathability. Linen does wrinkle easily but gives you an instant vacation vibe!

4. Chambray

Chambray is a woven cotton textile, not to be confused with traditional cotton knits as shown in #1! Chambray is an extremely lightweight fabric that responds well to constructed cuts and tailoring. Many chambray textiles are even made to look like denim, so you get the look of denim without the extra weight! 

5. Rayon

Rayon is a synthetic blend of natural materials (cotton, wood pulp, and other fibers) that looks and drapes like silk! Because it's not a natural material, it won't wick away moisture as well as cotton or linen, but it's certainly light enough to keep you comfortable and stylish in varied prints!
