【Functional T-Shirt】Does Workman's "Sustained Cooling -1℃ Cotton Oversized 5-Short Sleeve T-Shirt" change outdoor play?

Wearing Workman's Sustained Cooling -1℃ Cotton Oversized 5-Short Sleeve T-Shirt for a day, I will examine outdoor time in the park. I will report in real terms how the way we spend our time changes as the discomfort of sweating is alleviated.

I tried wearing Workman's "Sustained Cooling -1℃ Cotton Oversized 5-minute Sleeve T-shirt"

As spring outings increase, I've been spending more time in parks during the day. As summer approaches, it's inevitably the season when "sweat" gushes out due to the heat during outdoor activities.

Wanting to change how I spend my time during such moments, I was drawn to the product name "Sustained Cooling -1℃ Cotton Oversized 5-minute Sleeve T-shirt" and decided to buy it.

After spending a day playing outside in the park wearing this, it was quite comfortable. While it doesn't dramatically cool you down, to sum up, the "quality of the time spent sweating" has definitely changed.

Of course, I have several summer T-shirts, but honestly, when it comes to heat, "they all end up being the same." Cotton T-shirts can be bothersome after sweating due to stickiness, which often becomes stressful during long outings.

I was interested in how it would change "after sweating" rather than just the cool sensation of sustained cooling, and after trying it on, I noticed a slight difference.

How does the size feel wearing a 3L at a height of 180 cm and weight of 95 kg?

I wore the white size 3L. Usually, I often choose sizes LL to 3L due to my body type, but this t-shirt gives a slightly more relaxed impression. It has enough room in the body width, doesn't cling to the body lines, and there's no stress around the chest and stomach areas. Even when sitting, there’s no feeling of pressure, and I was able to maintain a relaxed state.

The shoulders have a drop shoulder design that falls naturally, making the shoulder area look less bulky. The sleeves are adequately long, reaching just about the elbows. There's a sense of reassurance compared to typical short sleeves, but it doesn’t look sloppy. The length of the shirt is slightly longer, but it doesn't give the impression of being too long; it’s just the right balance as an oversized fit.

Overall, it is "relaxed yet doesn’t look sloppy," making it a silhouette that can be worn casually in the streets.

It looks like cotton, yet the feel on the skin is slightly different.

In terms of texture, it completely resembles a cotton t-shirt. It doesn’t have the feel of typical functional materials and blends in naturally as everyday wear. On the other hand, the touch on the skin is a bit different from cotton. It gives the impression of "not becoming heavy even when sweating." Additionally, it doesn’t have a strong cooling sensation when new, but the differences become apparent as you wear it.

The "lightness" felt after wearing it for a day.

When you take a walk in the park or play with your children, it’s natural to sweat. At that moment, the difference is that the "feeling of sticking to the skin" is lighter compared to a typical cotton T-shirt.

After sweating, you become aware of the "feeling of sticking to the skin" and the "weight," but the "Sustainable Cooling -1℃ Cotton Oversized 5-Minute Sleeve T-Shirt" gives a sense of relief when the wind blows or when you stop moving for a moment.

Rather than being cool, it might be more accurate to say that the discomfort doesn't linger.

When compared to the sensation of a regular cotton T-shirt, the main difference is in how the "stress from sweating remains afterwards."

The two points of not remaining sticky for a long time and having a shorter time of sticking to the skin were clearly felt. This type is not one that feels cold the moment you put it on, so those who seek strong contact cooling sensations might have a slightly different impression.

The discomfort from sweating has lessened, and the time spent outside has increased.

What stood out on the days I wore it was that I no longer thought, "I want to go home because it's hot."

It might be that "the discomfort of sweat" limits outdoor play more than the heat itself. By alleviating that discomfort, the time I can naturally spend outside has extended.

Detours on the way to the park and the time spent there have become a little longer. It’s not something special, but this change is surprisingly significant.

It’s a T-shirt that makes you more positive about playing outside.

This T-shirt is not an item that will make you forget the scorching heat, but it does provide a bit of an uplift in the quality of time spent. While sweating cannot be avoided, alleviating that discomfort seems to make it easier to "enjoy the outdoors."

Playing outside will positively change. It may not be a dramatic change, but little by little, these accumulations might alter how we spend our days.
