🌿 Hemp fiber is one of the most absorbent natural textile fibers available and its unique hollow, porous structure gives it an edge over many other fibers. Because hemp fibers have an internal cavity and irregular surface with micro-cracks and pores, they offer excellent moisture absorption and capillary wicking, drawing water and sweat away from the skin quickly and effectively.
This hollow, porous morphology increases surface area and enhances water adsorption compared with cotton’s more solid fiber structure, allowing hemp fabrics to absorb moisture at a higher rate under the same conditions and with faster moisture release.
Technical tests show hemp fabric’s moisture absorption rate can be roughly 27 % higher than comparable cotton fabrics, and the moisture dissipation (drying) rate can be about 32 % higher, thanks to its superior capillarity and porosity.
These properties make hemp fabrics not just more comfortable to wear in warm, humid conditions but also ideal for towels, bedding, activewear, and performance garments where moisture management matters — keeping you drier, cooler, and more comfortable throughout the day.
