Cotton vs. Dri Fit/ Climacool

[mark999]

columbia omni-dry short and long sleeve T's are the best i've tried. playing in 95 degree, heat i could not wring any sweat out of the shirt. i always wear long sleeves, which seems to keep me cooler in direct sun and wear white or light grey colors. don't know if they still make them, but i've found them @ marshalls, ross, etc. the nike drifit T"s made for runners are extremely light and comfortable and also dry very quickly.

I have tried all of these technologies hoping that some would work in humid conditions, but nothing does. Friday morning I had two shirts soaked. I hung them to dry on a bench in direct sunlight, and after an hour, they were still damp.

Stupid humidity.

There is a fairly new brand calle tasc - combo of cotton/bamboo/elastane. Best performing and best feeling shirts hands down, and not too expensive.

I got the norditrack dry wicking t shirts work much better than cotton T's and are under $10 at sears. Stayed cool with he moisture being pulled away from my body into the shirt and then evaporating much faster. 1 shirt for the whole match. the Dry wick from Stater were not as good and seemed to cling more which was annoying.
