Coolmax

Coolmax is the brand name of a series of technical fabrics designed to wick moisture away from the skin. The fabrics employ specially-engineered polyester fibres to improve "breathability" compared to natural fibres like cotton.

Clothing made from Coolmax is primarily intended to be worn during exertion — sweat can evaporate quickly so the wearer is kept dry. Other useful properties include resistance to fading, shrinking and wrinkling.

Additionally, Coolmax is used as a mattress cover.

Coolmax is a registered trademark of the manufacturer, INVISTA.
