Abstract
An improved low-absorbent, good wicking and quick drying wetsuit fabric is made of non-absorbent fiber, processed with water repellent before being knitted, and high-absorbent fiber, processed with absorbent agent while being dyed and/or heat set, then knitted by a circular knitting machine under a setting of 18˜42 gauge per inches to form a structure of two-layer fabric. The outer side (the non-absorbent fiber) touches the skin of the wetsuit wearer to wick out the water, leaked into the space between the wearer and the wetsuit, quicker and make the wearer feel dry and comfortable. The inner side (the high-absorbent fiber) is laminated with rubber sponge to absorb the water, leaked from the body of the wetsuit, and wick the water out through the outer side (the non-absorbent fiber). Appropriate cutting and sewing steps are employed to finish the formation of the wetsuit. In an alternative embodiment, the outer side may comprise a fiber made of a combination of non-absorbent yarn and absorbent yarn.
