NOT 5 fashionable quick-drying T-shirts for sportswear

T-shirts with “quick-drying” properties that dry quickly after sweating are high-tech items that can greatly reduce stress when going out in summer. However, many of these functional T-shirts are made for sports and outdoor use, and it can be difficult to use them for street wear. Therefore, in this issue, we introduce a selection of short-sleeved, quick-drying T-shirts that can be worn stylishly for everyday wear!

Stylish Men's Quick-Dry T-Shirts ①NANGA DotAir COMFY TEE

Nanga is a manufacturer of high-performance sleeping bags and down jackets. Nanga’s main products are down jackets, which give the brand a strong image in the fall and winter, but for the spring and summer seasons, the brand is developing a collection that uses the ” DotAir®︎ ” high-tech material with excellent breathability and water absorption and quick-drying properties. The T-shirt shown here is the “COMFY TEE” from the same series. The special mesh-type fabric that is not easily transparent absorbs sweat and dries quickly, and once you wear this comfortable T-shirt, you will not be able to live without it during the summer.

Editor Izumi
Dot Air®︎ was developed by Toray, a chemical fiber manufacturer, as a highly functional material to keep you comfortable during the hot and humid Japanese summer. The excellent air permeability keeps the inside of the garment comfortable, and the mesh material is lightweight. It has zippered pockets on the left chest and right side, and a drawcord hem that can be closed, giving it a stylish, high-tech design that is not often seen elsewhere.

The minimalist look, stripped of various elements, and the high-tech, sporty design of this tech T-shirt will tickle the hearts of men. The fabric has a cotton-like texture, but it is water-absorbent, quick-drying, and stretchable, reducing all kinds of stress.

In addition to the reduced number of sewing points, the chest pocket is also attached without sewing by the same welding process. Sporty but not sportswear, this is an urban, highly functional T-shirt. Despite the functional details, the look of the material is cotton-like, and the design is plain and minimalistic, making it a very easy to use T-shirt that goes with any bottoms, from nylon tech pants to cargo pants to slacks.

Stylish Men's Quick Dry T-Shirts ③UNIQLO AIRISM Cotton Oversized T-Shirt

When you hear the words “quick dry t-shirt,” you may very well think of UNIQLO’s AIRISM. However, regular Air Rhythm T-shirts are designed to be worn as innerwear and are difficult to use on their own. The UNIQLO U crew-neck T-shirt we picked up this time is a cotton blend that gives it a cotton-like appearance while maintaining the water-absorbing and quick-drying characteristics of the AIRISM T-shirt, making it suitable for single use. It is a versatile T-shirt that combines functionality and design. The price is only 1,000 yen per piece for such specifications, which is a great advantage.

Editor Izumi
When it comes to quick-drying T-shirts, you can’t go wrong with UNIQLO’s Air Rhythm. It is UNIQLO U by Christophe Lemaire, so you can’t go wrong with the design. It is the best-selling T-shirt in all of UNIQLO worldwide, and when we picked up word of mouth and information on the Internet, we found that many people choose this AIRISM cotton T-shirt as their summer plain T-shirt of choice. It is also the most cost-effective, so there is no harm in owning several pieces, not just one.

Stylish Men's Quick Dry T-Shirts (4)NEUTRALWORKS. HAE

Neutralworks is a brand developed by Goldwyn that combines design and functionality at a high level. From this brand, we picked up “HAE”, a high-function T-shirt that uses a special yarn with antibacterial and deodorant properties and is quick-drying at the same time. The T-shirt uses a breathable knitting technique and a fabric that is not easily see-through even when worn alone, solving all the problems that arise during the summer season. The one-point small logo on the side of the front is a stylish accent.

Editor Izumi
In fact, this Neutral Works was integrated in 2022 with MXP, which was also developed by Goldwyn and was once a hot topic for its T-shirts and other items with high deodorant and antibacterial properties. Neutral Works has always excelled in highly functional items, but the addition of MXP’s technology and urban design has made it more advanced than before. Please come and experience the quick-drying T-shirts of the brand produced by Japan’s world-class sports manufacturer.

Fashionable Men's Quick-Dry T-Shirts ⑤Healthknit Open-End Dry Jersey Henleyneck

Healthknit is an American-born brand with over 120 years of history. Founded as an underwear manufacturer, the brand is also known as a pioneer in henley-neck T-shirts. The henley-neck T-shirt introduced here is a 50:50 blend of cotton and polyester. By mixing cotton, which excels in water absorbency, and polyester, which excels in quick-drying properties, the brand has created a highly functional T-shirt that combines the best features of both. The T-shirt is produced using a process called open-end spinning, which gives it the feel of a classic 100% cotton T-shirt from the good old days in America. Furthermore, it is also treated with antibacterial and deodorant treatment, making it a perfect choice for summer. This is the one I would recommend to those who are looking for a quick-drying T-shirt with a henley neck instead of a typical crew-neck T-shirt.

Editor Izumi
The functional T-shirt has a less scientific feel to it, with a strong, chunky cotton texture that has a distinctly American feel to it. T-shirts with quick-drying specifications and henley neck designs are quite rare, so if you are looking for a quick-drying T-shirt other than a basic crew neck, check this out.
