Moisture Wicking Tennis Apparel - Fan Favorites

• Non-absorbent: Unlike cotton, which absorbs moisture
• Unique high-performance microfiber construction used to naturally cool the body
• Most effective when worn as a base or single layer
• Sweat-managing properties are permanent for the life of the clothing
