How to choose a women’s T-shirt for your needs

Choose a T-shirt by its material first. Cotton is pleasant on the skin and suits everyday wear, but it soaks up sweat and dries slowly. So for sport, choose a technical T-shirt that wicks sweat and dries quickly.

For every day: cotton T-shirts and tank tops

Cotton T-shirts and tank tops are mostly made of 100% cotton or cotton with 5% elastane, which gives the T-shirt some stretch. Besides classic short-sleeved T-shirts, there are tank tops, models in 100% organic cotton, a looser crop top, a polo shirt with a collar and a long-sleeved top; for yoga, thin T-shirts in viscose with elastane work well.

For running and fitness: technical T-shirts, tank tops and bras

Technical T-shirts and tank tops are made of stretchy polyester or nylon, often with added elastane, and have DRYFOR technical fibre, which carries sweat to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly. You can choose short- and long-sleeved T-shirts, perforated T-shirts, a technical crop top, tank tops and a sports bra with flat seams that chafe less.

For the water: UV T-shirts with UPF 50+

According to the manufacturer, UV T-shirts have a UPF 50+ protection factor. They are made of close-fitting nylon with 12% elastane and DRYFOR technical fibre, so they dry quickly after a swim. They are suitable for days by the water and water sports such as surfing, and come with short or long sleeves. Protect any skin the T-shirt doesn’t cover with sunscreen.

For cycling: cycling jerseys

Cycling jerseys have a close-fitting, stretchy cut, DRYFOR technical fibre, an anti-slip strip in the hem so that the jersey doesn’t ride up, and reflective details. The short-sleeved jerseys have a back pocket. You can choose from a short-sleeved jersey, a full-zip jersey and a long-sleeved jersey for cooler rides.

How to read a T-shirt’s composition

Cotton - soft and breathable, but it soaks up sweat. It suits everyday wear and relaxing.
Cotton with elastane - 5% elastane gives the T-shirt stretch, so it fits closer and keeps its shape.
Polyester and nylon - synthetic fibres that absorb only a little water and dry quickly; combined with DRYFOR fibre, they also wick sweat.
Viscose - a fine, fluid fibre; in the yoga T-shirts, it is mixed with elastane.
UPF 50+ - indicates how well a textile protects against UV radiation: the higher the number, the less radiation gets through the fabric. The manufacturer states it for the UV T-shirts.
Flat seams and perforation - flat seams chafe less even during repetitive movement, and perforated fabric is better ventilated.

How to care for T-shirts

Wash technical T-shirts according to the care label at a low temperature and without fabric softener, which makes the fibres wick sweat less well. Just hang them up - they dry quickly on their own. Wash cotton T-shirts inside out with similar colours, and don’t dry T-shirts with elastane at a high temperature so that they keep their stretch. Rinse UV T-shirts in clean water after swimming in the sea or a pool.

Technologies and materials

DRYFOR®

A functional fiber that excellently absorbs body moisture and wicks away sweat. Thanks to the micro-grooves on its surface, moisture is efficiently carried to the outer side of the fabric where it evaporates quickly, keeping your skin dry and comfortable. This property allows the material to provide perfect body temperature regulation.

Frequently asked questions

Technical or cotton women’s T-shirt for sport?

For sport, choose a technical T-shirt. Cotton soaks up sweat, so the T-shirt then sticks to your body and chills you in the cold. NORDBLANC women’s technical T-shirts in polyester or nylon have DRYFOR technical fibre, which carries sweat to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly. Save cotton T-shirts for everyday wear and relaxing.

Does a women’s UV T-shirt protect against the sun?

According to the manufacturer’s data, yes: NORDBLANC women’s UV T-shirts have a UPF 50+ protection factor. The UPF value tells you how many times less UV radiation gets through the fabric, and 50+ is the highest rating used for textiles. Long-sleeved T-shirts cover more of your body; protect any skin the T-shirt doesn’t cover with sunscreen.

What should a women’s cycling jersey have?

A good cycling jersey fits close, stretches and wicks sweat, so that it doesn’t flap and dries quickly. NORDBLANC women’s cycling jerseys have DRYFOR technical fibre, an anti-slip strip in the hem, reflective details and, in most cases, a back pocket. For cooler rides, there is a long-sleeved jersey.

How do I wash women’s technical T-shirts so they keep wicking sweat?

Wash them according to the care label at a low temperature with a liquid detergent and without fabric softener - it sticks to the fibres and impairs sweat wicking. Turn the T-shirts inside out and let them dry naturally - technical fabrics dry quickly on their own. Wash a sports bra in a laundry bag so that it doesn’t get damaged.
