Some of us don't have the luxury of participating in sports, however these shirts, despite their name, are perfect for outdoor summer work. They retain their shape when soaked with water or sweat, appear to be cooler than cotton and the grey color hides grime. For instance outdoor temperature today remained in the low 90s Fahrenheit and I stayed comfortable for the duration. The long sleeves provide sun protection and the garment appears to tolerate spraying with DEET insect repellent.They are machine washable but come clean with hand washing as well. A hint for people working in concrete, mortar or stucco is that an overnight soak in a cup of vinegar per gallon of water will remove dried calcium carbonate better than detergents.Since they are knit they are not abrasion resistant. Nor will they protect from saws, drills, briers, thorns nor other mechanical hazards any more than would a cotton tee shirt. This is not cold weather wear.Size appears to be just a little bit large, maybe a half size. I noticed that they are much easier to remove than cotton when soaked with water or sweat.
