    Undershirt Recommendations - HK Summer

    Looking for some recommendations on men's undershirts for the summer. Thinking about Under Armor or Nike Dri Fit due to the heat but wanted to see what actually might work in Hong Kong before purchasing.

    Trying to avoid the underarm sweat marks

    Thanks!

    Uniqlo Airism

    Dont like it because it gives off a sheen, but its good at wicking sweat, cheap and available just about anywhere in HK.

    Regular cotton or UniGlo.

    In Wan Chai around Spring Garden Ln there are tons of shops selling shirts like this.

    Under Armour/DriFit just clings to you in high humidity and isn't particularly pleasant.

    The Uniqlo Airism mesh undershirts have less of this problem, but almost impossible to avoid underarm sweat marks - easier to wear white/black so it's not visible!

    Another vote for Airism at Uniqlo.

    They are very comfortable and do a good job of both wicking seat and ensuring that your shirt doesn't become soaking wet.

    I actually prefer the ones that feel silky, but there are also mesh ones if you don't.

    I was in Uniqlo last week and they were on sale for 59 HKD for one.

    I don't wear undershirts anymore--just black shirts that don't show the sweat. Sometimes I forego underwear in summer as well.
