The ABCs of Performance Tees: 3 Benefits of Performance T-Shirts

Are you tired of boring t-shirts that sag after a few washes? Do you wish there was another option? Something that would keep you cool and fresh, and still look good?

Enter performance t-shirts. 

Wait, aren't performance t-shirts just something for athletes? What is a performance t-shirt exactly? What benefits of performance t-shirts should I know about? 

Read on as we take you through 3 benefits of performance t-shirts, and much more besides.

What Are Performance T-Shirts?

Performance t-shirts are made from 100% polyester. But they're totally different from traditional polyester t-shirts. 

They use nano-particle technology to do some pretty cool things. This technology wicks moisture away from your body and allows it to evaporate more easily.

Because moisture is continuously being pulled away from your body, you stay cool and dry. Unlike cotton which gets wet and heavy, your performance t-shirt remains light, cool, and comfortable.

They help you to keep cool in the summer while keeping you warm in the winter.

Uses for Performance T-Shirts

It's true that performance t-shirts were first developed for athletes and fitness fanatics. But their use quickly extended beyond the gym.

They make a great workout t-shirt, but they also make great base layers for everyday clothes. By wicking sweat away from your body, they keep you cool and comfortable in warmer weather. When it gets cold, they keep you warm. 

They're also a great addition to any athleisure ensemble.

You can wear them exactly as you would a cotton vest. You'll feel the difference from the first time you wear them.

Benefits of Performance T-Shirts

Performance t-shirts are the future of both activewear and workwear base layers. Still need a little convincing? Take a look at three key benefits they bring to the table.

1. Moisture Wicking

Some performance t-shirts describe themselves as dry-fit. That's appropriate because the comfort of moisture-wicking technology cannot be overstated.

Traditional fabrics quickly become saturated when you're working out. Even if you're working in an office in mid-summer, you'll quickly feel wet and sticky.

Then there are the sweat patches that inevitably form. With moisture-wicking technology, sweat moves away from the body and evaporates. Leaving you cool, calm, and collected.

2. Odor Control

Performance t-shirts control odor in two ways.

First of all, by wicking moisture away from the body, it doesn't build up and give off noxious odors.

Secondly, many types of performance t-shirts have anti-bacterial products in the fabric. This helps to stop bacteria from developing which causes bad smells. This gives you the confidence to work out hard without the embarrassment of body odor.

3. Comfortable and Flexible

The fabric of performance t-shirts is incredibly light and soft. It drapes well over the contours of your body and moves with it as you move. It stretches incredibly well, without pulling on your body. 

This is great when you're working out and playing sports. But it's also ideal in all other areas of life.

Who wants to be restricted by their clothes? Once you've experienced the lightweight, flexible feel of a performance t-shirt you'll never go back.
