Those are an interesting set of measurements. Makes me wonder whether
non-absorbing fabrics have been tried and rejected?

Those _are_ non-absorbing fabrics.


Maybe a "wicking" fabric is more accurately described as
"semi-absorbent?"

Wicking fabrics are designed to carry water from one side to another. A wicking
fabric is usually made with a hydrophobic yarn.

If you know of a hydrophobic fabric that outperforms the fabrics already
mentioned, please let us know. I get the feeling you are thinking there are
magic fabrics out there that do not in fact exist. Even fabrics coated with the
best DWRs will hold some water.
