Super-Absorbent Quick-Drying Structure.

Living in wetlands, bogs, temperate conifer forests, or taiga, sphagnum captures and stores water temporarily. Astonishingly absorbent, sphagnum can hold over twenty times its weight in water. A layer of hollow, wicking, spirally reinforced chambers collects and temporarily stores large volumes of water without collapsing under its weight. When moisture input ceases, rapid water loss by evaporation follows.
