COOLMAX CLOAKFX™ FIBER MASKS THE APPEARANCE OF SWEAT ON FABRICS

Whether you’re powering through a workout or presenting in the boardroom, sweat stains aren't just a distraction; they can lower confidence and affect how you show up. Our 2025 research revealed that sweat is the #1 pain point across all consumer demographics* — so we decided to find a solution.COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber is engineered with an optical “masking” engine that minimizes the visual impact of sweat, so you never have to worry about visible sweat stains. The technology is integrated into the fiber, so its “sweat-cloaking” magic will last through repeated wear and washing. Plus, it meets the cool-and-dry promise of the COOLMAX® brand, delivering moisture management, breathability, and sweat masking in one product.The LYCRA Company is driving toward a more sustainable future for the textile industry. Designed with the planet in mind, 93% of the polyester in COOLMAX CloakFX™ fiber is recycled, and the product has achieved Global Recycled Standard certification.*Source: VML, The Modern Consumer Study, 2025
