Men's Athletic Shirts & Tees

Check the brand-specific size chart and measure chest, waist, and shoulder width; athletic shirts often come in slim, regular, and relaxed fits, so pick one that matches how you want it to sit (close to body for training, looser for layering). If between sizes, size up for more range of motion or if the fabric has minimal stretch

Look for moisture-wicking synthetic blends (polyester, nylon, or polyester-spandex) for running and gym use for sweat management and quick drying; lightweight stretch and breathability matter for mobility. For golf or casual wear, cotton blends or performance knits with UV protection and anti-odor finishes are common

Performance treatments add specific benefits: anti-odor (antimicrobial) helps reduce bacterial smell over multiple wears, UV protection is useful for outdoor activities, and water-repellent finishes shed light moisture; choose treatments based on how and where you’ll wear the shirt

Men's athletic shirts commonly range from budget options under $25 to higher-performance pieces above $75, with many around the mid-(price varies)s; higher price can reflect brand, fabric technology, or construction but doesn’t guarantee a better fit or the right features for your needs

Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, avoid fabric softeners (they reduce moisture-wicking), and tumble dry low or hang to dry; follow the garment’s care label for specific instructions and avoid high heat that can degrade technical fabrics or finishes

Check fabric composition (blends with elastane or spandex maintain stretch) and look for higher-denier knits or reinforced seams for durability; garment care instructions and customer ratings on longevity also help indicate likely shape and color retention

Compare each brand’s sizing, fabric technologies (e.g., wicking, UV, durability), intended use (outdoor vs. training), and average price point; prioritize the specific performance features and fit you need rather than brand alone
