Are they comfortable to wear? Do you feel hotter? Do they feel soggy or clammy against the skin? Do you reach a point where the shirt gets saturated and it starts to bleed through?
The concept sounds to me like a Gore-Tex or equivalent membrane to trap the water in, not out. But still breathe to let some of the steam escape.
I feel your pain Gareth I sweat over 72 degrees fahrenheit, and I just moved to a city that is over 90 the whole year.
Hey dko3tgk - I see you might have already made your mind up and hit the buy button! They do actually block the sweat so it doesn't show at all. They fit tight to the skin - felt a little different to start with but nothing odd.
I can't say they have ever felt soggy or clammy - nothing that has been noticeable anyway . I'll be to the point for a moment but i can feel the sweat dripping down my back and I get nothing showing at all.
I often find knowing that i'm sweating and its showing on my shirt makes things worse so it helps with the confidence. I also wear white shirts and with these they stay white much longer.
I tested them out the Florida sun - I wore the undershirt and a t-shirt the would show the sweat very well. I was out in the sun (around the theme parks) for a number of hours - hot hot sun and nothing showed.
