Coolmax is 100% polyester, but the thread has a special shape that is 
supposed to transport and evaporate water faster.

Just like Capiline is is 100% polyester but is has been chemically treated 
to make it more like PolyPro. I just use the plypro and don't put it in the 
dryer

My big preference is a shirt without should seams that abrade me under my 
pack straps.
