Old Navy Active Performance T-Shirts - Overview


We're taking a look at the Old Navy Active Performance T-shirts.

LINK : http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/search.do?searchText=Active+Performance+

$12.94

$10.00

100% polyester.
Machine wash.
311 reviews.

The ACTIVE Line offers lots of different styles

I wear these because they are cheap, the feel great, they breathe and dry quickly.  I can wear them until they get ripped up while in the bush or until they get nasty and throw them away and not feel bad about it.

Shirts that are similar from other companies can run anywhere from $30 to $50.  If you were going to go with something from Arc'teryx you would pay even more!

So the question is are these the best shirts in the entire world? Maybe not but for the price they are definitely up there.  Fantastic for everyday use and the fit is very good. Very comfortable, very form-fitting.
