Here's what we suggest you look for:
Cotton or bamboo with spandex usually works very well. Some people have tried turning the shirt inside to deal with the seams. Athletic shirts are good too as they are moisture-wicking You can search on-line using the above criteria, but we've given you some suggestions to give you a head start.
Here's what we suggest you look for:
- a stretchy material (no wrinkles)
- seam-free if possible
- a durable material that is thin enough so as not to be too warm
- anti-bacterial and anti-mircobial
- moisture-wicking
- long enough that it covers the length of the brace
- provides some protection for your armpits
