Light Weight Work Shirts

The high-performance shirts are avaliable in both short sleeve and long sleeve, and use CoolCore Fabric Technology to regulate sweat evaporation and move moisture away from the body for a cooling effect – allowing the lightweight fabric to stay up to 30% cooler and reduce the body temperature of the wearer. Extended Fast Dry Sweat Zones accelerate wicking in key areas – under the arms and across the back – to help prevent the shirt from becoming saturated and uncomfortable. UV Protection helps block harmful rays for those working long hours in the sun. The shirt material resist pilling, snagging, and common abrasion from repeated use. milwaukeetool.com
