on my basketball team part of our uniform are tight nike pro dri-fit sleevless tops that we wear under our jerseys. I like them alot and they look really cool. However, these tops send up red flags about almost everything that i have been told regarding clothing that causes acne. They are tight fitting which will trap sweat and rub against your skin, strike one. They are made of 84% Dri-FIT? polyester/16% spandex, from what i understand polyester is not a very breathable material. Also I have not been able to find any reliable information for or against this article of clothing or any reviews pertaining to the acne information i am searching for. This product goes on and on claiming that is extremely breathable and that it wicks way moisture. Will someone with experience with this product or considerable knowledge in this area please let me know what you think. I would really appreciate infomred opinions.

You'll probably use your shirt more than I do, but I have a Nike dri-fit shirt as well as some similar style shirts without acne problems.
The fact is, you'll may have more acne just from playing sports. But that's a small price to pay for the benefits you receive.If God had wanted us to be weak, He wouldn't have given us iron.

wow, BAD pull from 40 years ago when play dri technology was non existant
as for the Nike stuff 'causing acne"
NO!
It does NOT "trap" sweat, it "WICKS" sweat AWAY from the skin and allows you to cool better
you are not wearing a neoprene suit, you are wearing a high tech garment designed to keep you cooler and drier than regular cotton, and IT WORKSlift big 2 get big
