What is Dri-FIT and does it actually work?

Dri-FIT is Nike's name for fabric that pulls sweat away from the skin so it evaporates faster. Owners generally report staying drier during workouts than in plain cotton tees.

How does the fit compare with older Legend shirts?

This version is cut slightly looser through the chest, waist and hips than previous Legends. It has a standard fit, so if you liked the older trim cut, consider sizing down.

Is it good for running as well as the gym?

Yes. The light jersey and sweat-wicking finish suit running, lifting and general training. It is not a compression layer, so it will not hold muscles the way a tight base layer does.

It is 100% recycled polyester jersey with a ribbed neckband. There is no cotton in it, so it dries faster but feels different from a cotton tee.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low. Wash it soon after heavy sweat to keep odor from setting into the polyester.

Does it come in other colors?

Nike offers the Legend in several colorways. Check the options shown on this page for what is currently listed.
