I perspire very heavy during my 1 hour cardio workout at the gym and I was looking for a good workout tee and thought I would give the power-dri a try and I'm glad I did. It works just as described and is very easy to wash by hand in cold water and hang dry. I recommend purchasing navy or black for heavy perspirers so that you don't look so disgusting after your workout!

What's there to say about a synthetic fiber athletic shirt? Not much. I will say that I like it more than the similar Cheetah brand of shirts I bought at a local store because the latter tended to pill up/snag after just a few cycles of wearing and washing. I've been using this Russell shirt for over four months now and it looks as good as new.

I guess the idea of fabric like this is that it's supposed to wick water away from your body so it can evaporate faster, keeping you more comfortable. Maybe that would work better with less sweat or a windier environment, but I work up such a sweat in the gym that the shirt basically gets soaked. I still prefer this type of soaked shirt to a cotton t-shirt, though.

I don't have anything to compare this to, since it was my first 'wicking' technology t-shirt, but I must say it has lived up to my expectations

Am training for a marathon, and these shirts work just fine for endurance running

I was so pleased with the first shirt that I thought it would be wise to order a few more while they have free shipping.
To my shock I received a mirror image shirt made out of a very thin polyester which wrinkles when washed.
Sweat sticks to this one, not like the first one which was perfect for exercising.
So, out of the shirts I receiveed only the first order was as stated.
They others seem to be a cheap polyester knock-off.
Very disappointing.

I purchased these same shirts a year ago in a store size XXL which fit perfectly. I ordered the same shirts from another website a little later and they ran way too long in the sleeves and hem. I purposely ordered a smaller XL this time from Amazon and they are still too big! I don't know if Russell makes them differently now or what. I am a big guy so this shocks me. It probably wouldn't bother me but I like to wear them under an open button down shirt for the layered effect. Besides the size issue, I love these comfortable, easy care tees.

Keeps you cool and barely feels like you are wearing it while you are working out.

The perfect shirt for warm summer days. It covers up your outside and allows you to remain cool inside.

The nice thing about this shirt is that it doesn't soak up sweat like other shirts, so it wont slow you down (its very thin and light). Great for running, tennis, etc.

Definitely lighter and cooler than cotton. But the main reason i bought them was that i usually sweat a lot while working out and these mesh tee don't have the "I just got out of the shower w/ my shirt on" look like cotton does. The one in black and blue barely show that u are sweating.
