Moisture wicking clothes better for sports ? Under Armour Ap Posted: 06-12-07 19:49pm
I play football for my high school and
have been looking into a Under Armour
apparel, or other performance apparel. My
question is, do they work? Is this
technology more effective than the normal
cotton shirt? What is the doctors opinion
on these products? Thank you for the
help.

From a medical point of view, the
moisture-wicking "Under Armour Apparel"
seems better for use than a t-shirt,
because it's made of fiber that keeps a
player clean and light during intense
games and practice, unlike t-shirts that
usually get soaked from sweat after many
practices. So, it seems that yes, this
product is more effective than cotton.
