Hanes is perhaps the most famous undershirt brand on the planet. And if you're looking for a more athletic feel and sweat protection is your priority, then the Hanes Performance moisture-wicking crewneck undershirt is your best bet. The fabric blend of polyester and rayon is designed to wick sweat off your body and dry off quickly, and we found it to be extra soft, smooth, and cool to the touch even after being on our skin all day long. We also love that the fabric blend is much lighter in weight than a traditional cotton undershirt.
Besides, after wearing these white undershirts since 2021, we found that because of the polyester blend, the fabric is resistant to any discoloration that comes with age on cotton shirts. After putting it through at least 10 wash cycles, we also noticed that the fabric didn’t pick up any other color and still fits well.
We also love the tad of stretch this undershirt has, and how they can be easily tucked in to stay hidden and in place. The breathability and odor control are also a nice touch, even after—or during—a sweaty workout as we’ve found. Lastly, Hanes uses the same double-needle stitching to reinforce the neck, sleeves, and hem as with their regular undershirts. This will stand up to years and washing and wearing with steady use.
