Custom Moisture-Wicking Shirts
As you’re choosing the style, color and quantity of the shirts you plan to customize, you probably have come across the term “moisture wicking.” While it seems self-explanatory, there is likely more to the term than you might think. Read on as we expand on the definition of moisture-wicking fabric, who might really appreciate that attribute in their custom shirt, the differences in moisture-wicking properties by brand, and much more.
What is Moisture-Wicking Fabric?
Moisture-wicking fabric is specially designed to pull sweat and moisture away from the skin and spread it across the surface of the fabric so that it will evaporate quickly. This keeps the wearer cool and dry. Moisture-wicking fabric is often polyester, a poly-blend or made up of tech fabrics.
Are moisture-wicking and Dri-FIT the same?
Many name brands incorporate their own proprietary version of moisture wicking into their garments. These include:
- Nike: Dri-FIT is Nike’s signature moisture-wicking technology. Their fabric combines moisture wicking with ventilation zones for a lightweight feel and a soft finish. You’ll find Nike polos, tees, shorts and more labeled Dri-FIT.
- Adidas: Adidas has several proprietary moisture-wicking fabrics, including AEROREADY and Climalite. The former is often paired with stretchy, eco-friendly materials while the latter is comfortably breathable and less performance-oriented.
- Under Armour: HeatGearⓇ from Under Armour is a high-performance poly blend fabric that wicks sweat and regulates temperature. It’s very quick drying and often has 4-way stretch and anti-odor properties.
- CoolmaxⓇ:: This engineered polyester is found in multiple brands and is known for breathability, long wear, and wrinkle resistance.
Who wants to stay cool and dry?
While we can’t really think of anyone who wouldn’t want to stay cool and dry, there are certain groups who are highly motivated to maintain their comfort level. Custom moisture-wicking shirts are ideal for them:
- Sports teams: From baseball to basketball, volleyball, soccer, lacrosse and more, teams with custom t-shirts genuinely appreciate moisture-wicking fabric.
- Work crews: Workers who are in and out of extreme temperature conditions want to stay feeling comfortable and dry throughout the workday. Moisture-wicking helps them do that.
- Solo athletes: Many a golfer, weightlifter, or ultimate frisbee player has appreciated the comfort and breathability of moisture-wicking polos and t-shirts.
- Runners and hikers: Whether running a marathon, a 5k or simply hiking a trail in the woods, moisture-wicking fabric keeps athletes feeling like they can go that extra mile.
- Business professionals: Business casual custom polo shirts with moisture-wicking properties is a popular choice for professionals who want to stay fresh and crisp looking throughout the day.

What our customers are saying
Awesome customer service, selection, quality, speed, & price!
After my not-so-good experience with another online tshirt printing company, working with BlueCotton was so refreshing! The shirts that I ordered came earlier than expected, and they look great! BlueCotton is able to print on polyester athletic fabric shirts (beware - not all online companies that sell custom printed athletic shirts can do this correctly!). I also was able to get more for my money; names and numbers on the back of the shirts as well as clip art and multiple colors on the front. Communication was excellent, and Kelly H. in customer service answered all of my questions and followed my order from start to finish. I will definitely use BlueCotton again in the future!
