Dri Fit T-Shirts

Dri-fit T-shirts are made from a polyester fabric that enables sweat to move away from the body and to the surface of the fabric and then evaporate, also known as sweat wicking.  

This way, you remain dry and comfortable, which explains why the fabric is preferred by athletes and those involved in sporting activities because you can sweat but still remain dry.

These are facts about Dri-Fit T-Shirts that are worn for sports.

  1. Made from ultra-fine fibers

The Dri-Fit T-Shirts are made using ultra-fine nylon and polyester microfibers. These microfibers are as thick as a fifth of a human hair, a quarter of cotton or a third of silk. Imagine how thin human hair or silk is and then picture a fraction of that.

These microfibers combined with the manufacturing using the latest technology produces the Dri-Fit T-Shirts that are suitable to be won for sports or other activities. This is due to their ability to pull the moisture away from the skin surface to the garment’s outer side.

Due to the characteristic thin fibers, the t-shirts are lightweight. They are also soft and silken to the touch yet strong.

  1. Dries fast

A Dri-Fit T-Shirt takes a third of the time than a t-shirt made of ordinary fabric. This characteristic makes them suitable for sports since it will hold the sweat for a shorter duration before it wicks it out.

The fabric is manufactured in a way that it wicks the moisture from the skin to the fabric and then it evaporates. The process helps to keep the temperature of the wearer lower and free from sweat.

  1. Super absorbent

The Dri Fit T-Shirts are preferred for sports because of their super absorbent quality which makes them more comfortable for athletes. The fibers are able to absorb seven times their weight which exceeds what cotton can absorb.

  1. Breathable

The t-shirts are breathable which makes the evaporation of sweat much quicker. Sports involve intense activities and a lot of sweating. The breathable fabric allows air to pass through such that the t-shirts are not too warm. It also enables fast evaporation of sweat and that is why they are preferred by sports personalities.

The t-shirts are made using different types of Dri-Fit fabrics to enable breathability. There is the most basic eyelet material in which the fabric has holes in the shape of an eyelet making the clothing breathable.

There is the dry pique material which is sturdier and visually rich in color. However, the side that touches the skin is soft and comfortable.

The cool Dri-Fit fabric symbolizes coolness with its square-shaped holes that allow breathability by letting the warm air out. Also, there is interlock dri-fit fabric in which the material is woven so tight such that the holes are not visible to the naked eye. It gives the t-shirt that premium feel and its used in making top sports brands.

  1. Don’t shrink or wrinkle

Given that the t-shirts are made from a synthetic fabric, they don’t wrinkle or shrink, which is convenient for sports especially if you have to put them in the bag as you travel.
