Product details
A performance tee is polyester knit to move sweat off the skin instead of soaking it up, and the Gildan 42000 is a straightforward 5 ounce jersey. It is the least expensive way we have to put a logo on something people will actually run or play in.
Heavier than most performance shirts at 5 ounces, which makes it more opaque and a bit warmer than a race-day shirt. Printing on polyester needs a blocking layer under the ink so the dye in the fabric cannot bleed through it later, and our pricing already builds that in. Twenty-one colors, sizes S to 3XL. We screen print the performance tees rather than embroider them, so plan on ink for this one.
