Cocona Materials is a carbon infused polyester. if you can see the inside of the shirt it is darker carbon color, used next to skin. The carbon is a byproduct from the water filtration industry, and is carbon that comes from coconut shells. coconut shells are very dense, and also a byproduct of the coconut milk and meat industry. this very fine carbon powder is extruded with the polyester, creating surface area equivalent to a football field in a shirt! this surface area allows incredible drytimes. it does not feel like a typical synthetic shirt, but much drier. the carbon also does a good job of NATURALLY absorbing odors.

They take the carbon out of coconut husks and fibers and put them in the polyester. It absorbs odor.
