Default Nice summer base layer at Walmart

Starter makes a line of clothing made from what they call "Dri-star" fabric. Its available in shorts, shocks, T-shirts, Polo's, Tank tops, and sleeveless. The material is very similar to the more expensive UnderArmor stuff and makes WONDERFUL riding cloths for the hot weather.


I just stocked up on Tanks, and sleeveless T's:

I've been using those performance socks for years, (8k runner here), and they work great.

That type of material makes summer riding much more enjoyable. I have some of the starter shirts, but I usually wear the **** "dry fit" sleeveless shirts. 100% breathable thin polyester & they work great.
I know a lot of people have complained about all of the HD shirts being hot & heavy, but my dealer just started selling "dry fit" type of material shirts. My wife got me a sleeveless one for my birthday a couple weeks ago & I liked it so much I went and bought 2 more & they are all sleeveless. They have the HD logo on the front & small dealer writing just under the neck on the back. I have a black/orange one, a white/black one & a gray/black one now. FINALLY HD has made some summer shirts that are not hotter than hell!

I wear the Wal-Mart stay-dry shirts and like that they don't stick to you on a hot day.
The only thing I don't like is they when the fabric gets a little snag in it the shirt looks like crap then.

Do the Staters resist snagging better?

I havnt had any snagging issues but ill keep an eye out. It seems to me that they are tightly woven enough that it shouldn't be a issue.
