During summer, our body produces a lot of sweat due to the natural mechanism to keep our body temperature regulated. Cotton is a very good absorber of water compared to synthetic fabrics. It easily absorbs the sweat from our body and exposes it to the surrounding atmosphere for rapid evaporation. The heat energy equal to the latent heat of vaporization is absorbed from our body surface during evaporation, leaving the body feeling cool and comfortable.
