It has extremely high heat dissipation. It is said that its heat dissipation is 19 times higher than that of silk. Wearing hemp clothes is better than wearing silk or cotton clothes. The surface temperature of the skin can be lowered by 3-4 degrees. Even if it is soaked with sweat, it will not fit as closely as cotton clothes, and it has a good cooling feeling
