This Cotton fabric version has the cotton feel which some prefer and retains moisture better so can be a great option for hotter days where it can be wetted and and the absorbent fabric better allows for longer periods of evaporative cooling.

Mesh fabric is lighter and has high breathability, created by the small holes in the weave, and this open structure allows sweat and heat to escape easily, keeping the skin cool and dry in a wide range of conditions. Mesh allows for quick evaporation, preventing that clammy, damp feeling. Mesh fabric is generally lightweight, adding to its suitability for hot weather and physical activity.
