Men's Long-Sleeve Double-Dry Performance T-Shirt

This is just what I was looking for – a T-shirt for hot, sunny days. I wanted it long-sleeved and white, to block and reflect as much sunlight as possible.Since the Amazon descriptions and reviews cannot reveal everything about a shirt, I ended up buying four different brands in August of 2016. Here is a comparison of those four shirts, showing the brand, size, weight, price, source and country of manufacture:Champion Double Dry (men’s “small”); 148 grams; $13.04; from NY Lingerie; made in El Salvador.Hanes (men’s “small”); 141 grams; $9.10; from NY Lingerie; made in El Salvador.Dri-Equip (“regular small”); 148 grams; $13.95; from Joe’s USA (shipped in Amazon box); made in China.Sport-Tek (men’s “medium”); 163 grams; $8.21; from GotApparel; made in China.I obtained the “free shipping” option for each shirt, so the above prices are totals paid for each. The Champion and Hanes shirts arrived in 6 days, the Dri-Equip and Sport-Tek in 8 days.All of the shirts were measured before laundering while lying flat and relaxed on a table. After machine laundering with detergent, and tumbling dry with low heat (which left them wrinkle-free), the measurements were virtually unchanged (no shrinkage was evident). Since the size charts on the Amazon site are not particularly informative, here are some actual dimensions of these shirts while lying flat:(Keep in mind that all of the shirt sizes are “small” except for the Sport-Tek, which is “medium”)Torso length: All 27-28” (except Sport-Tek, which is a little over 29”)Torso width at top seam (between sleeve seams): All 16.5-16.75” (except Sport-Tek, which is 18.5”)Torso width at bottom: Hanes 17.5”, Champion 18.25”, Dri-Equip 19”, Sport-Tek 20.75”Sleeve length (upper side): All 24.5-25.75”Sleeve length (lower side): All 18-20”Wrist width: Hanes and Dri-Equip 3.75”, Champion and Sport-Tek 4.5”Neck hole: Champion, Hanes, Dri-Equip and Sport-Tek gradually increase from 8.25” to 8.75”, respectively (note that this is not the diameter of the hole, but half the circumference, since it is flattened; the diameters of the circular holes are thus twice these values divided by pi, or about 5.25-5.57”).For my slim 5’11” frame, the “small” shirts fit well, and the “medium” shirt seems a little big. All have sleeves and torsos that are sufficiently long. I am happy that none of the sleeves stop short of my hands. All seem a little larger than their stated sizes. All are silky and drape well.All four shirts appear to be made of identical fabric, based on the weave pattern that is visible under a microscope. All are equivalently sheer (not see-through, but when placed tightly against a striped surface, for example, the stripes are visible). The Champion shirt is not quite as brilliantly white as the other three, but close. All four shirts appear to be constructed identically, with impeccable assembly and stitching.Only one shirt has visible markings on the outside: The Champion name at the back of the neck and logo on the sleeve.All four shirts claim to be moisture-wicking. I have not had a chance to fully compare the sweat-wicking or cooling action of these shirts. Such a test would anyway be difficult to do objectively. But I did perform a water wicking test by observing droplets of tap water applied to several places on each shirt (after the shirts had been laundered together without fabric softener, and then tumbled dry), and clear differences emerged. Here they are ranked in order of how fast the water droplet absorbed into the fabric and how extensively it spread outward (how far the water wicked): Champion > Sport-Tek >> Dri-Equip > Hanes (the first two were significantly more wicking than the second two). If sweat behaves in the same way, than the first two may have an edge in how fast they disperse and evaporate water.In conclusion, the main differences between these shirts seem to be in price and wicking ability. I don’t yet have a favorite, and I consider all of them to be good values – especially considering the remarkable technical and technological achievements that were necessary for their manufacture.

I wanted to post a pic because someone asked a while back if it was see-through, and everyone responded with an oddly binary "no", not even in white (like mine). If you're sweating and it's clinging it is a bit more revealing then ideal, but not really noticable at a glance. It's supposed to be cool in hot weather and it is. The pores in this shirt are very small/tight (even when you stretch it), so the sun isn't peeking through it which is my concern. Sleeve/body length are perfect, but fits quite loose which is good for air flow. No spandex, so it really doesn't have the stretch to be comfortable sized as a tight compression type shirt. I can't say it's my favorite shirt like it, design-wise, but it's probably 80% as good as my old favorite which cost AT LEAST 300% what these go for. I need to put some miles on it before I can say much about performance.

I'm reviewing the White Champion Men's Long-Sleeve Double-Dry Performance T-Shirthttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DAQTGN2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I could never understand how the lawn maintenance crews could tolerate long sleeves in the hot south florida sun until I tried it. These shirts make it tolerable while protecting your skin from the sun. They are super lightweight and wick sweat away from your skin. I bought 2 brands Champion and Hanes. Both fit. The Champion is slightly lighter and thinner in a good way. The Hanes has longer sleeves. I also tried Vapor Apparel but they were too tight for my fat waist.You will like the Champion shirt if your measurements are similar to these. Taken using a tape measure: Height: 5'11". Chest: 45" Waist: 50" at its widest point. The Champion and Hanes fit comfortably everywhere and both downplay my fat waist without showing the 'contours' of my spare tire.I recommend washing in cold or warm water, no fabric softener then hang them up. No clothes dryer.The Champion white shirt in combination with this hat is a great way to protect yourself from the sun.Outdoor Fishing Hat with Face Mask Ear Neck Flap Cover, Wide Brim Sun Hat UPF 50 UV Protection Safari Sun Cap for Men Women Hunting, Hiking, Jungle Mountain, Camping, Boating, Yard Working, Farminghttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PMV8VNC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

UV Protection. I purchased this shirt (and another long sleeve UV shirt from a different vendor on Amazon) for summer wear of UV protection in the yard and house work. This shirt breathes easily and wicks away moisture with ease. I run marathons and have many shirts for practice runs, and have learned they are as different can possibly be. The other shirt, which was 50 UV protection, was extremely hot and was placed in the draw for winter running. This shirt is as close as one can get to having the feel of no shirt on. Even when sweat soaked it did not feel heavy, hot or cramping of body movement.

First - the shirt arrived fast. It fits perfect and is basically exactly what I was looking for. However, the quality of the seams is not suitable on the shirt I received. The seams on both sleeve cuffs have come undone after going through the washing machine. I could understand this happening after several months, but I have only had this shirt a couple of weeks.I liked the shirt but unfortunately the quality was lacking.

La tela es satinada, no me agrada mucho esta caracteristica pero no se ve mal. La tela es elástica y transpirable.Las costuras imperceptibles, en general la prenda es de buena calidad. Es ideal para el gimnasio o salir a correr.Las tallas se corresponden de acuerdo a la que se pide.

Ypu would think with a name loke Champion you would getting decent quality. No. 2 of the 3 shirts I bought the stitching in the sleeve cuff gave way and when went to fix it that same stitching gave way all the way up the arm. Super super disappointed. Will never buy Champion again

I expected a long sleeve tee that protected me from UV rays and kept me cool during my 4 hour bike rides based on the brand - Champion. You know what they say about ASSUMING something, it makes an “ass” of “u” and “me”. In less than three wears, the threading came loose on the right sleeve. I will not be ordering from Champion in the future. Would much rather buy from Hanes, less expensive and more durable so far.

El producto no trae etiqueta alguna, pero no se preocupen, la calidad de la prenda se nota alta, y además es vendida en la Store de Champion, además las etiquetas internas cuentan con código. Es muy buen producto, muy comodo, por lo cool de la prenda creo no sólo se puede usar para ejercicios, si no para casual está perfecta.
