Cotton/Polyester Combination

Postby 729 fx » Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:33 am

Saw some cool T-shirts last month and was on offer too at a local sports store out of town when I was travelling there.

Review -
1) Reebok T-shirt
Material - it was a 60% micro polyester/40% cotton. The material below the armpit is made of polyester with little holes in it to help transfer the sweat from the inside of the shirt to the outside, where it can dry faster. This shirt is very comfy for me and when I sweat, this shirt makes me drier as compared with my other cotton shirts.

Fitting - For this current review, I find it fits my body(even though it is US L-size, no wonder it is on offer, must be because of wrong sizes)

Durability - Worn this shirt around 5 times and after machine wash and drying in the sun, the stitching held up good and the colour is still OK. Will test it for another half year and see whether the colours still retains its shine or have faded.

2) Kronos T-shirt
Material - 60% from cotton and 40% from polyester (the reverse of the above). Cotton for better absorption of sweat while polyester for easier transfer of the sweat from the inside of the shirt to the outside.

Fitting - It is a good fit with no sleeves that are too tight or long. It is Asian size M, just right for me.

Durability - Worn this shirt only 3 times, not enough for a full review. will test for another half year and see if the stitching is holding up and the colors remain as bright as before.
