Consider the advantages and disadvantages of different sports tissues.

• Cotton 100%. It is a soft, lightweight and natural fabric that is completely hypoallergenic, non-irritating and breathable. Among the disadvantages: it gets wet quickly, loses its color and shape, is not strong enough, dries for a long time, absorbs odors. Often, light-colored cotton shirts develop yellow streaks in the underarm area. If you still prefer the presence of cotton in the composition, choose models from blended materials.

• Polyester. It is a thin and light material that does not wrinkle, dries quickly, does not retain moisture and odors, and does not require complex maintenance. A budget option. Among the disadvantages: not suitable for people with sensitive skin, as it can cause irritation.

• Elastane. Used in blended fabrics to improve the strength and ductility of the material. Models with the addition of elastane perfectly fit the torso and at the same time are practically not felt on the body. Good in combination with synthetics, as it provides air penetration to the skin. It is also used in combination with cotton, which allows it to better keep its shape and increases the strength of the material.

• Meryl. It is a technological material that combines the qualities of natural and synthetic fabrics. It has excellent air permeability, is pleasant to the body, elastic, and at the same time dries quickly and retains its original appearance for a long time. Ideal for any kind of sports activity.

• Saplex. This fabric contains nylon fibers, but at the same time it is much softer and more elastic. It is breathable, dries quickly, is comfortable for the body, resistant to wear and tear and fading, perfectly holds its shape and retains its original appearance.
