What is the best in Sports Apparel for Fall

Performance T-Shirts

T-shirts with short sleeves are essential all year round. Some of the best t-shirts to play sports in are made with moisture-wicking properties. Shirts like these are the best at keeping the athlete cool and dry, despite heat and perspiration. The best performance t-shirts are in 100% polyester or cotton/polyester blends. The Champion CW22 Men’s Double Dry Performance T-Shirt is a basic, standard weight, 100% polyester single knit performance t-shirt. The double dry moisture-wicking properties keep the athlete cool and dry during activities in all kinds of outdoor conditions. This shirt is available in a variety of seven colors and six sizes ranging from S-3XL.

It is has the same fabric and moisture-wicking finish as the men’s style, but it is designed with a better fit for a female. The sleeves are sewn in on a diagonal, or raglan, style as opposed to the vertical, or set-in, stitch of the men’s t-shirt, and it has a v-neck as opposed to the men’s crew neck. It is available in seven colors and five sizes ranging from S-2XL. The youth style of this performance t-shirt, Champion CW24 Youth Double Dry Performance T-Shirt, has the same set-in sleeve and crew neck as the men’s style, also with moisture-wicking properties.

Hooded sweatshirts are great to have on hand in the fall and winter. Not only is the sweatshirt warm, but the hood helps trap heat as well as protect from falling raindrops.
