A deft blend of polyester, tencel, and spandex, this shirt has struck the ideal textural harmony for workouts. The breathability is remarkable, venting when you need it most.

The Everyday Performance Tee is one of Wilson’s top performance tees for tennis, and we love how well it performs playing pickleball, too. The shirt is cut with ventilation in high-sweat areas and is made with anti-odor properties, making for a breathable shirt you can play in for long periods of time. The shirt fits form to the body, yet allows for full range of motion while playing, making it a timeless cut that will have you looking your best on the court too.

Calling this shirt lightweight is an understatement. Upon first wear, we had to double-check to make sure we were even wearing anything. That’s a freeing feeling, which can really elevate a workout. But the Vital shirt doesn’t stop there. With sweat-wicking technology and flat-lock seam lines, you’re going to be dry and looking sharp. Your physique truly is boosted by this particular design and the fact that the shirt is only $30 means it’s an overachiever in every sense of the word. Shoot, get two or three just to be on the safe side.
