A moisture wicking heat shrink sleeve for aircraft cabin moisture control incorporates a heat shrinkable tube of predetermined length receivable over a structural member. A moisture absorbing layer is adhered to a surface of the heat shrinkable tube with the heat shrinkable tube and adhered moisture absorbing layer configured for radial contraction from a first expanded condition to a second contracted condition upon application of heat.
