does anyone know if this stuff is any good or if its worth getting? looks interesting if you play a lot of sports pretty often.

it does work. Its very light, durable for its thiness, and keeps you cool b/c of the thiness. IT doesnt seem to be as sticky as other clothes when your drenched with sweat.

I'd recommend it. After I started wearing dri-fit stuff to work out in, I can't go back to the regular cotton-t. Those things retain sweat, and sticks to your body. Dri-fit wicks away the sweat and dries quickly, so you don't feel all sweaty. Dri-fit clothing are pretty pricey though...

Costco and other stores have Cool-max clothing...supposedly works the same way, and a lot cheaper. I only have one shirt, and a rarely wear that one, so I can't tell you if it's true.

dry fit is amazing i wear stuff similar to it all summer long under the name quick dry and coolmax all of which acts on similar concepts. Much better than wearing cotton i must say

I used to wear dri-fit, I found it pretty good for what you pay for, but have since switched to Under ARMOUR, which performs better and is lighter IMO

I prefer using dri-fit/ underarmour in the winter when the sweat in the chest area can hurt you

I have yet to try UA shirts.

I've tried Nike Pro, Nike Dri-Fit and NB Lightning Dry shirts. IMO, Nike Pro is better than the regular Dri-Fit & NB shirts.

under armor is the best I've tried. They are a premium product, but the performance is great.

I've use Nike ACG, Nike Sphere, Nike Pro, and some Saucony stuff. The ACGs are mostly short sleeved, Sphere are long/short sleeved, and Pro are sleeve-less. The Saucony is long sleeved.

I like them all. I use ACG at the gym but they're not as good as Sphere and Pro for in-door running. Sphere is okay but I find it a bit too thin for running outdoors, where I prefer the Saucony shirts. I guess if it was boiling outside, I'd wear the thin Sphere short-sleeves. The Nike Pro is good for weights because it fits pretty well and doesn't get in your way and wicks pretty well when running in doors.

As for UA, I've seen alot of people use it at the gym, but they're never on sale so I've never had a chance to get any :)
