- Hydravent Moisture Management Technology keeps the athlete cool and dry
- Lined, racer back with keyhole design
- Great for contact sports such as softball, lacrosse, soccer, basketball
- Compression providing high impact support

About the Hydravent hDc Moisture Management Technology
The padding is intended to supply heat control, comfort and performance. Basically, the hDc is topically applied to the fabric and transports sweat so you stay cooler and drier. Tests reported by the manufacturer state that the fabric turned out to be 8 degrees cooler than the leading competitor and helped prevent thermal shock by keeping players better hydrated.
