It works well, but I cannot compare to any other. You drench it, wring it and wear it. If you want something a little dryer next to your body and you have time, you drench it (or place in bag filled with water), wring it out and let it dry in the sun. The internal fibers still hold the water but the liner is dry.
I found it works very well with newer technologies "Microfiber" underclothes that wick moisture away from the body.
Plus it works well for a warm insulation layer when dry. Extra $0.05
