Coolmax Care

Do garments made from COOLMAX® fabric require special care?

Most garments made with COOLMAX® fabric are machine washable and dryable; however, fabric softeners and chlorine bleach should not be used. Some garments may require special care because of the garment style, not the fabric. It is best to read the care label inside the garment.


Energy Saving Tip! > Because COOLMAX® fabric is so quick drying, you really don't need to use your dryer. If you've got clothes made from 100% COOLMAX® fabric, just hang them up to dry and be amazed at how quick it happens! Great tip for travel too!


Can you silk screen print on COOLMAX® fabric?
To maintain the outstanding drying performance of COOLMAX® fabric, we recommend heat transfer printing over silk screening. Light coverage silk screen designs may be acceptable. If you do screen-print, we recommend designs that do not cover the primary "sweat spots" on the garment.


Can I dye my COOLMAX® t-shirt?

No, COOLMAX® fabric is made from proprietary polyester fibers, and polyester requires special dye procedures.
