This new shirt (and shorts) are both made from a fabric which utilises Active Dry technology, which is at the cutting-edge of research in technical fabrics.

This means that both garments provide not only a superior fit, without being restrictive, but also aid in the rapid evaporation of perspiration which helps to prevent the body overheating, which in turn helps to sustain prolonged athletic performance."
