What's the difference between microfiber and nylon, specifically in terms of apparel?

Asked by eadinad (1278points) June 27th, 2009

So it was recommended to me to buy microfiber underwear for my upcoming hiking trip. I found a style I like but it says it’s 90% nylon, 10% spandex. Google just tells me that microfiber is a manmade fiber, sometimes made of nylon. So is this the same thing, or are they different, and if so, how?
