Review on Hanes Sleeve T Shirt Large Graphite Men's Clothing by Deron Gilliam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These standout shirts are among my favorite purchases for all clothing items

These standout shirts are among my favorite purchases for all clothing items. I have purchased several of these shirts and they have far exceeded my expectations for comfort, price and performance. They are extremely comfortable and possibly the most comfortable long sleeve shirt I have ever worn considering how useful they are and the number of hours I wear them. They're surprisingly more comfortable than the "old cotton t-shirt" that seems to be the comfort standard. They work really well for wicking (wicking away) moisture and when I step outside in the hot 100 degree Texas summer weather I can feel the sweat evaporating (keeping me cool) and my skin dry under the fabric remains. Amazing absorbency. Wearing a typical cotton T-shirt in the same weather was very "wet, sticky, sticky, smelly" by comparison. I wear them outdoors for 3 reasons: 1. Sun protection (requires less sunscreen) 2. Visibility for safety (Green/ANSI Yellow is very effective for visibility at dusk, early morning walks or swimming) 3. Comfort (Moisture wicking keeps I'm cooler than old cotton t-shirts. I'm a long distance sailor and also wear yellow hi-vis shirts when sailing the high seas in the case of MOB (man overboard) where visibility is a matter of life and death for you are in the water I will also be wearing them snorkeling again for sun protection (around 40-50 UPF) and for visibility at the water surface The shirts wash and dry very easily and quickly just a few minutes tumble dry on low temperature or in the wind will suffice. After several washes, the bright yellow color loses some of its fluorescent properties, but the shirts retain their bright yellow color. Unlike polypropylene shirts With a basic layer, these shirts retain no body odor or smell after washing. I find these shirts so comfortable that I wear them either as a base layer of underwear (under other shirts or fleece in cold weather) or as an outer layer in the hot summer sun. They have a very nice "silky" fabric that differs from the popular but heavier and coarser "waffle weave" texture often seen on ANSI hi-vis outerwear shirts. This Hanes fabric is very light (similar to silk) and almost invisible when worn. It has proven to be durable even after many long days of wear and numerous washes. I'm 6ft 240 #47" and the Extra Large fits me but fits snugly around my arms and chest. I also bought the XXL size and it's much more comfortable and has a looser fit without bindings. I prefer it for comfort and find it it's not too big for me Since these shirts are so "silk" and absorb moisture, I also wear them as nightwear and I highly recommend you try this as well (instead of your typical pajama top) They "slip" in bed with you and you will feel like you are sleeping on silk sheets, very comfortable in warm, cool or cold bedroom environments.I wake up with dry skin (as body moisture evaporates) and it is a very comfortable way to sleep.I think these shirts would be a very good piece of clothing for anyone who is active outside in hot or cold weather (e.g. campers, backpackers, joggers. , cyclists, hunters, sailors, road workers, construction workers, farmers etc.). Although the price is low I find the value of these shirts excellent. recommended! By the way, I am not affiliated with Hanes or the seller and I did not receive any compensation or discount for this review. I just really like the product.
