Squash shirts

T-shirts for squash - choose the right model in the Sportano shopWhen we think about squash, we primarily focus on rackets, balls or shoes. However, the right shirt is just as important for comfort and performance on the court. Not only does it help to thermoregulate the body during intense exertion, but it can also influence our confidence during a game. In the Sportano shop you will find a wide range of squash shirts from renowned brands such as HYDROGEN, Lacoste, Diadora, Babolat, HEAD or Tecnifibre.Materials and technologies: breathability and quick drying dryingWhen we talk about squash shirts, one of the most important aspects is the material's ability to manage moisture. Playing squash is an intense exertion that often leads to intense sweating. Therefore, the materials used to make the shirts must, above all, be breathable in order to ensure optimal airflow and allow the skin to 'breathe'. Most squash shirts are made of synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon. These offer excellent properties for wicking sweat away from the skin, accelerating its evaporation on the surface of the shirt. As a result, the skin remains dry, which contributes to comfort during play. Quick drying is another key feature. No one wants to feel wet and uncomfortable on the court, and materials that dry quickly ensure that even after an intense set, the jersey will not stick to the body with moisture for long. Some modern technologies in squash shirts also include special finishes that prevent odour, caused by sweat mixing with bacteria on the skin. Such solutions allow you to feel fresh and confident for a longer period of time. When choosing a squash shirt, it is worth paying attention to its material and manufacturing technology. Breathable and quick-drying fabrics are key to comfort and performance on court.Cut and fit: which cuts dominate on court?On the squash court, it is not only what the shirt does with sweat and how it 'breathes' that is important, but also how it lies on the body. A well-fitting T-shirt should not restrict movement, but at the same time it should fit properly so that it does not interfere with your game. The regular, slightly fitted cut is the most popular among squash players. These shirts are not too tight, but at the same time not loose, allowing freedom of movement during dynamic exchanges on court. This cut is ideal for players who are looking for a balance between comfort and functionality. Slim fit shirts are also making an appearance on court. They are tighter to the body, which accentuates the silhouette. While they can be aesthetically appealing, it is important to make sure they do not restrict movement, especially around the shoulders. T-shirts with raglan sleeves are another popular choice among players. They are characterised by seams that run from the armpit to the collar, providing better freedom of movement in the shoulders and less pressure in this area. The sleeve length of squash shirts is usually the classic short sleeve, although some players prefer sleeveless shirts for even greater freedom of movement. Choosing the right cut and fit depends largely on the player's personal preferences, but whatever the choice, the key is freedom of movement and comfort during play.Special features: ventilation, UV protection and more innovationsModern squash shirts are not just ordinary sports shirts, but high-tech garments designed to improve the player's comfort and performance on court. Manufacturers are constantly innovating to help meet the challenges of intense play. Ventilation is one of the key special features. Many jerseys have built-in ventilation panels, usually around the armpits, back or sides, to help dissipate excess heat and moisture. Thanks to the improved ventilation system, jerseys can provide a constant flow of air, allowing the body to be better cooled during intense games. UV protection is another important feature. Although many squash games take place indoors, some courts have transparent roofs or are located outdoors. High-quality shirts often have UV protection built in, protecting the player's skin from the sun's harmful effects. Innovations in fabric technology have led to jerseys that are not only lighter but also more durable. Some jerseys have built-in microcapsules that release cooling substances during movement, increasing the comfort of the game in warmer conditions. And don't forget other features such as anti-microbial finishes to help combat odours, or reflective elements for those who train in low light conditions.
