Features:

• Omni-Wick™ Technology: an advanced moisture-wicking system that pulls moisture away from the body and disperses it across the fabric surface to accelerate evaporation, keeping you dry and comfortable during physical activity.
• Made with recycled material, specifically recycled polyester, which helps reduce environmental impact by decreasing reliance on virgin resources and reusing existing materials.
• Classic Fit: offers a universal and easy-to-wear cut, providing comfortable range of motion without being too loose or too tight, ideal for a wide range of activities.
• Center back length of 73.7 cm (29.0 inches): provides adequate and comfortable coverage during movement, preventing the garment from riding up excessively.
• Design with short sleeves and a crew neck, which promotes ventilation and freedom of movement, especially in warm climates or during intense activities.

Materials:

• 50% cotton and 50% recycled polyester blend: this composition seeks a balance between the natural softness, breathability, and comfort of cotton, with the durability, wrinkle resistance, and quick-drying properties provided by polyester. The use of recycled polyester contributes to sustainability.
• The resulting fabric is lightweight and suitable for an active-use technical t-shirt, although exact data on its weight (g/m²), yarn deniers, or additional waterproofing treatments beyond the Omni-Wick™ technology inherent in its construction are not specified.
