Athletic clothes maker Under Armour has released “cotton…only better” - Charged Cotton - that promises to wick and dry better than regular cotton. In my search for info on this purported cotton improvement I stumbled across a blog stranger than OBOW - The Undershirt Guy! - see his test results here.

Maria reports that the new UA Charged Cotton fabric does dry faster than regular cotton (though not five times faster - surprise, surprise) and she has pictures to prove it. The UA shirt is on the right. From the darkness of the fabric you can see that the cotton shirt on the left (all cotton, of similar weight and color) is still wet while the UA shirt is largely dry. This is instant research — she heard about it last night, bought it this morning, and tested it today. An OBOW gold star for Maria!
I’ll leave it to Maria to provide further comments below.
