Is Dri-Fit 100% Cotton?

 Here’s What You Need to Know About Personalized Dri-Fit Shirts

Let’s set the record straight: Dri-fit shirts are not 100% cotton. That might surprise you, especially since many people associate comfort with cotton. But here’s the catch—when it comes to staying cool and dry, especially during intense physical activity or in hot, humid weather, cotton just doesn’t cut it. Enter Dri-fit: a high-performance fabric blend specifically engineered to wick away moisture and keep you comfortable.

What Exactly Is Dri-Fit?

Dri-fit is a type of moisture-wicking material, commonly made from polyester or a polyester blend, sometimes mixed with spandex or nylon. Its primary function? To draw sweat away from your skin and push it to the surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly. This keeps you cool, dry, and light, making it the go-to fabric for athletes, active teams, and even corporate or school uniforms in tropical countries like the Philippines.

Compare this to 100% cotton, which absorbs moisture and holds onto it. That means a sweat-soaked cotton shirt during your lunch break jog or company team-building can weigh you down—literally and figuratively.

But Wait—Can Dri-Fit Still Be Personalized?

Absolutely. In fact, personalized dri-fit shirts are one of the most requested items at Craft Clothing. Whether it’s for a sports team, your company’s activewear, or giveaways that leave a lasting impression, dri-fit shirts are ideal for customizing.

You can add:

• Company logos for brand visibility

• Team names and numbers for unity

• Event themes for special occasions

Thanks to advanced customization methods like sublimation printing and embroidery, your designs will look sharp and stay intact—even after multiple washes. Sublimation, in particular, is perfect for dri-fit because it fuses the design into the fabric, not just on top of it.

Why Choose Personalized Dri-Fit Shirts?

Still on the fence about switching to dri-fit? Here are a few reasons why organizations of all sizes and industries love them:

1. Comfort Meets Performance

Dri-fit shirts feel light and breathable—perfect for long working hours, outdoor events, or sports. They don’t cling to sweat and dry faster than you can say “commute in Manila heat.”

2. Durability

Unlike cotton that can shrink, fade, or lose shape, dri-fit holds up better against repeated washing and wearing. This makes them ideal for uniforms and branded merchandise that need to look fresh for longer.

3. Professional Look

With clean lines, vibrant prints, and a sleek finish, dri-fit shirts can make your staff, team, or group look coordinated and sharp without compromising comfort.

4. Versatile Use

From sports teams and corporate uniforms to school events and giveaways, there’s no limit to what a personalized dri-fit shirt can do for your brand.
