Question 1

What type of t-shirt is best for the gym?

Accepted Answer

Polyester offers breathability due to its lightweight fabric, which helps you stay cool. Polyester is also durable and doesn't wrinkle. Compared to cotton, which absorbs moisture, i.e. your sweat, polyester will keep you dry as sweat dispenses through the material.

Question 2

Is it OK to wear cotton t-shirt in gym?

Accepted Answer

Cotton absorbs moisture easily, so you'll be stuck with a heavy, sticky shirt that can cause irritation and will get cold as soon as you're done exercising. Plus, baggy clothing is actually a safety risk since it can get caught in a machine.
