Real Essentials 5 Pack: Men's Mesh Quick Dry Short Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirt - Athletic Performance (Available in Big & Tall)

I'm a big and tall guy who likes having shirts that breathe. This 5 pack of 4XLT shirts is exactly what I was looking for. These shirts fit well for me, they're thin and allow air movement, and their lightweight. They look plenty nice for just everyday shirts, but also nice enough that they don't just look like a cheap T-shirt. I have some other Amazon Essentials big/tall shirts that I have worn thin, and I like them but on those, the neck is too large and I have to shrink it down by putting a rubber band inside the neck. These shirts do NOT have that problem, and the V-shape to the neck is subtle. I usually don't go for V-necks but these won me over. They come in many different color collections, so you can choose the hues that fit your style. These will be my new shirts that I wear pretty much every day. These would also be good to work out in or to have for jobs where you might sweat a lot.

Excellent quality and fit

I purchased an ArcticCool shirt since I had heard about them before and I live in Miami, where it's stupidly hot and humid during the summer. It was like $20. When it arrived they had a card in it that described its "advanced cooling technology" and how effective it was. It's nothing more than a Nylon/Spandex t-shirt, there's nothing special about it, also the fit was wrong a medium was essentially a large and it was an extra long cut. It also didn't breathe at all and did nothing to keep me cool. I felt ripped off.A few weeks later I searched for more and found these, which seemed like a great deal. When I got them, they fit and were cut properly, and I went outside in the blazing heat to try one out and I immediately felt the breeze go through the shirt, when I started sweating (unavoidable in South Florida, even if you're naked haha) it definitely did keep me cooler than the ArticCool shirt! I wear them all the time now outside since they're way cooler than linen or cotton shirts. Only mesh tank tops beat them! I'm definitely going to buy another pack in different colors to replace my single color cotton t-shirts.

Product Review:The Real Essentials 5 Pack Men's Mesh Quick Dry Short Sleeve V-Neck T-Shirts are a solid choice for athletic performance wear, but there are some issues with the size chart to consider.Comfort and Performance:These t-shirts are made from a mesh material that is lightweight and quick-drying, which is ideal for workouts and athletic activities. The fabric breathes well, helping to keep you cool and dry. The V-neck design adds a touch of style while maintaining comfort.Size Chart Issues:The size chart can be problematic. The shirts tend to run smaller than expected based on the chart. While I ordered according to my usual size, the shirts fit more snugly than anticipated. For a more comfortable fit, I recommend sizing up from what the chart suggests. This is especially important if you prefer a looser fit or if you’re in between sizes.Fit and Durability:Once you get the sizing right, the fit is generally good. The shirts are well-constructed and hold up well to regular washing and wear. They retain their shape and color, and the quick-dry feature performs as advertised.Value:The 5-pack offers great value for the price. Despite the sizing issue, you get a set of high-performance shirts that are versatile for both exercise and casual wear. The cost per shirt is reasonable, making it a worthwhile purchase if you get the size right.Overall Verdict:The Real Essentials Men's Mesh Quick Dry V-Neck T-Shirts are excellent for athletic performance and comfort, but be cautious of the size chart. Size up if you're unsure to ensure a better fit. Once you navigate the sizing, these shirts are a great addition to any active wardrobe.

I bought this shirt to use as an undershirt. It’s very comfortable and works great for preventing dark armpit spots on my nice clothes. I also like that it’s white, so I can use bleach if needed to keep it looking clean.The only issue is the sizing. A few months ago, I bought a shirt from the same brand in XL, and it fit perfectly. This new undershirt is also XL, but it feels a bit too big. I probably should have ordered a size L instead. Still, I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning it, and overall I’m happy with the purchase.

shirt fits well to size and its a nice undershirt. The V on the short is too short and is NOT hidden under a polo pullover w/o the top button buttoned, but who does that and looks professional? (no one). if the V was a bit lower like normal undershirts, this product would get 5 stars

I purchased the 5-pack v-neck, t-shirts for a week long trip to Thailand during consecutive days / weeks of an extreme heat warning (temperature in excess of 40-C degree or 104-F degree) I wore these t-shirts daily (except for the black t-shirt which absorbed to much heat). The synthetic material was comfortable and dried quickly after absorbing sweat and an occasional rain shower. I’m glad I did not bring any cotton t-shirts.The synthetic material is somewhat thin so I’m unsure of its durability. If they last a year, I think I’ve gotten my money’s worth.I’m 5’6”, 175 lbs. with a somewhat muscular upper body. The t-shirt is a little tight, but not as tight as a compression shirt. The chest area was especially tight but it enhanced the look of my upper body and arms. If you have a pear or apple shape body, these t-shirts might not fit you.The one thing that I liked about these t-shirts is the v-neck. The v-neck was actually one of the reasons why I purchased these t-shirts.After my trip, I cold-washed and line dried the t-shirts. I think this will help prolong their durability.I now have all 5 shirts cleaned, folded, and packed in my carry-on luggage ready for my next adventure trip. After my Thailand trip, these have become my essential t-shirts for every day wear. If they get ripped, stained, or stolen, I’d be somewhat sad, but happy knowing that I can buy these affordable t-shirts again.
