The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.
WEIGHT - Accuracy helps us provide a more accurate size for you.
CHEST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.
WAIST - Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.
HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.
If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.
Description
All Sales of Tech-Tees are Final
We have knitted the Skin Cooler™ fiber into a "honeycomb" design that offers breathability with loose-fitting comfort, and at a very affordable price.
There are good tech-t's and there are bad tech-t's. The ones you get for cheap are bad, and the ones you get for free are cheap. If you are looking for a technical t-shirt that really works you can stop looking.
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance. Fit Type: Relaxed Fit - not baggy and loose, but not skin tight. If you own any other De Soto Top and you are happy with the fit, we highly recommend you go with the same size. Fit Note: This is a knit fabric so it does have stretch around the torso (horizontal stretch), but there is no elastane in it so there is almost no stretch up and down (similar to a woven dress shirt). If you own any of our other Skin Cooler tops, you will wear the same size, yet it will rest more loosely.
Please do not assume your size, please use our size chart. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com.
Features and Benefits:
Skin CoolerHoneycomb fabric blocks 75% UVB rays while remaining breathable and cool due to the diaphanous (see-through) honeycomb lines.
Cooling is caused by the Honeycomb lines created by the knit in the fabric.
This shirt will not shrink, but may fade over time.
This is not a compression garment, and is designed from both training and for workouts where aerodynamics are not as important.
This garment is one product which comprises the less than 2% of our total products which are not made in the USA.

Note:No garment should ever be a substitute so we always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose) SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.

What makes ours different?
Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm). Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber and created a synthetic silk. It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet. Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation. Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 29 reviews.
I loves these shirts. They fit me perfectly and have great wicking and ventilation properties. Durability seems quite good, too.
This is a great Skin Cooler shirt. True to size, great colors, very comfortable, both in fit and the skin cooling functionality. A great go-to run top that also works great as casual shirt as well.
This has been my favorite running top for years. Nice and lite and comfortable in hot and humid conditions. I'm on the Gulf Coast of Texas where hot and humid is the normal condition.
Hope DeSoto keeps this top in there lineup
I had two Skin Cooler Honeycomb Tees already. Got another when the new coolers came out.
We all have a million tech tees from races, but the DSS Skin Cooler Honeycomb Tee is special! It is light, soft and does the things a tech tee should, like moisture wicking better than any other!
Getcha some!
I loved the looks and fit of my Skin Cooler Honeycomb Tee. A size L fits me ver well at 5’11” and 205 lbs. Both the Honeycomb and the Silk Tees are comfortable and breathable.
I wear the skin cooler De Soto tee's all year round and it is my go to tee of choice during the warm summer months we experience here in LA County. In fact, my wife is wearing her silk tee today as we close out November.
I’ve never experienced anything but joy from De Soto’s products. :)
Emilio is an athlete and it shows in the design and performance of everything he makes and the honeycomb tee is no different. I will always recommend his products!
Sincerely, Eddie Shin
Fabric is awesome, and fit is great. Unfortunately, there is a large laminated tag on the upper back that is super uncomfortable sticks my skin. I am trying to peel it off in bits, slowly.
I love DeSoto products. Their skin cooler stuff is top notch. But I find the skin cooler material best when tight on me, not a loose shirt such as this. As far as a running/workout shirt: this is great. It fits in perfectly in my rotation for a performance shirt, but I just haven't noticed the "cooling" like I do with their tighter products. But yeah, once again another top notch quality product by Emilio!!
Similar to my review for the skincooler silk tee, the difference is it weighs slightly more, but not in a bad way. This is my second honeycomb tee, I like the textured look.
Great running shirt. It wicks well and the fit is just right, athletic cut (not to tight, not to baggy). Also like the minimal graphics.
I bought one a while back but it was too small. Never wore it., Bought the next size up this time, love the shirt. Wish I could exchange the smaller one!
I have DeSoto shorts that are 10 years old, faded but still functional and wearable. Very happty with everything I have purchased from socks to hats, winter running items, arm coolers and cycling apparel.
I'm training for an Ultra distance ironman and temperatures in Mississippi and Florida are ... crazy. This is my goto shirt for cool and hot training days. The shirt seems thick, but don't let this sway your mind to something else! This shirt will wick away the sweat hot or cold days and keep you comfortable. Use it as a base layer, or your primary. The shirt is made of high quality, durable material. The stitching is also notable.
The lightest, coolest tee I’ve ever run in! Sure, we all get so called tech tees at every race - closets full of them! The Skin Cooler Honeycomb Tee is much more than one of those race tees. It’s silky, pretty, feels good and works great!
I Love this shirt. I have used it for a multitude of workouts, hot runs, weight training, indoor trainer and as a base layer on cold run. It never lets me down. I will definitely be purchasing more.
This shirt hits the sweet spot of being a great tech-tee at a competitive price. It's affordable while also being very functional. It's perfect for a run or gym session. The technical fabric is substantial enough that it doesn't cling, but it's also breathable.
I have two of these shirts and they are my go-to shirts for everyday training. Love it.
I am super picky about running T-shirts and these are fantastic! The honeycomb texture gives a nice structured feel while providing tremendous ventilation. The fit is spot on and the subtle De Soto logo's make this nice for casual days as well. If Y'all keep pumping these out in different colors I will keep adding them to the rotation.
