Why synthetic clothes do not breathe?
Typically synthetic fibers do not absorb water. The fabric threads made from such fibers are also typically very tight which does not leave much space for water to get absorbed between the fibers. Synthetic fibers are usually also very tight weaved, so there is not much space for the water to get absorbed in-between the threads either. This means that any sweat, you produce, has very little chance of being transferred away from your body and evaporate. Without evaporation your skin does not cool, which causes the body to produce more sweat. Synthetic fibers are hydrophobic but being a petroleum product, they do attract oils, which means, the oils from your sweat will clog the pores of the fabric worsening the problem and perpetuating the vicious cycle of overheating and sweat.
