Why this construction works
The construction does the work before any chemistry is added. a double-bed interlock knit means identical faces on both sides, so the fabric stays opaque under tension, and that structure is what allows the fabric to moves sweat from the skin to the outer face so the wearer stays dry under the conditions Hoodies and Joggers actually face.
