I use this shirt as an undershirt while officiating basketball and it's excellent when it comes to dissipating away moisture while running up and down the court. It also doesn't shrink unless of course you put the dry cycle on extra hot. Don't too that or you'll end up with a shirt 2 sizes smaller. Believe me I've done that by accident.

I have finally found a shirt that is comfortable and does not soak in the sweat and become heavy! Great for running in the gym and outside. I have used these shirts for all of my races and at the gym and have no complaints. It drys failry quick if you are running a long time outside. Just don't put this shirt in the dryer it will eventually start to shrink in odd ways! Definetly will buy a lot more of these shirts before they stop selling them!

Great shirts for working out, playing basketball or any other sweat inducing activity. Not flashy but definitely comfortable and dries quickly.

Price was very good as well.

I was so pleased with this that I actually bought six of them in black and blue. I've had them for about a year now, and the only thing I would complain about is that some of the seams are falling apart. Other than that, they're comfortable!

This shirt fits just as the image indicates. I'm not sure why it's called a "muscle shirt" when it fits far too loosely to show off anything other than your exposed arms, but as I said, it matches the picture. It looks much nicer than the cheap cotton sleeveless tees I usually work out in. In fact, an attractive woman in the gym started putting herself in front of me repeatedly to get noticed after ignoring me previously. You can't get a better indicator than that. It feels nice, gives me complete freedom of movement, and despite being polyester I didn't get warmer in it than cotton. In my own experience, the claim about it resisting moisture is laughable. My back and the back of the shirt were soaked half way through my workout, and the gym has good air conditioning. In fact I had to hang it up to dry before putting it in the hamper, just like my cotton shirts.

Had there been no claim made about this item resisting moisture, I'd give it 5 stars, but I don't think anything that fails to live up to its advertising should get a "perfect" rating. I like it enough that I will buy several more. It's a very good item, just don't expect it to stay dry.

This item is very comfortable and cool. Was originally purchased to use as a car work uniform, but this is too nice to oil it up. For the price paid, I was surprised at this. Very Cool and moisture absorbent design, I'm speechless, and totally surprised. I hope this response won't drive the price up.

A light material that's comfortable on sweaty skin and does not have irritating seams. Looks like it might snag if you get it caught on velcro so be careful with armbands and the like. I'll prob stock up on these for the gym and running. The short sleeved version is also comfortable and well cut.

Update: After putting these tops through some serious outdoor running and spin classes, I noticed that the fabric eventually gets drenched and sticks to your body (basically like cotton). Since this is supposed to be performance material, I had to knock off stars for that

When you're doing mail-order, you're never really sure of what you're getting. With this one, I got lucky. It's good-looking and is an ace at wicking away moisture during sweaty workouts. The material also means it doesn't wrinkle. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it, and this is my go-to shirt for hot-weather workouts. I bought it in black, but think I'll get some more in other colors.

It's a good shirt. Holds up well in the laundry. Light weight and an overall good workout shirt.
