Tek Gear DryTek Women’s Tops — Moisture-Wicking Performance Activewear
Our DryTek short-sleeve performance tee is engineered for women who demand moisture control during high-intensity training. The proprietary DryTek fabric pulls sweat away from your skin instantly, keeping you dry and comfortable from warm-up through cool-down.
We developed DryTek fabric with a two-layer construction that moves moisture faster than traditional athletic materials. The inner layer sits against your skin with hydrophobic fibers that repel water, pushing sweat outward. The outer layer features hydrophilic channels that spread moisture across a wide surface area, accelerating evaporation.
Sizing & Fit Across DryTek Styles
Our DryTek women’s tops run true to standard US sizing with an athletic cut through the torso and shoulders. We design each silhouette to move with your body rather than against it — the short-sleeve tee offers a relaxed fit with room through the midsection, while the tank runs slightly more fitted for studio workouts.
The long-sleeve crew falls between relaxed and semi-fitted, making it ideal for layering over sports bras or under lightweight jackets. If you typically size up for extra length, we recommend sticking with your usual size and taking advantage of the drop-tail hem design we built into every long-sleeve style.
Care Instructions to Extend Fabric Life
DryTek fabric maintains its moisture-wicking performance through dozens of wash cycles when you follow our care recommendations. We suggest washing your Tek Gear tops in cold water with like colors — hot water can break down the hydrophobic treatment on the inner fabric layer over time.
Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which leave residue that clogs the moisture channels we engineered into the weave. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for fastest results. DryTek fabric typically air-dries in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for travelers or anyone training multiple times per day.

Common Questions About Tek Gear DryTek Women’s Tops
DryTek uses a two-layer construction with hydrophobic inner fibers and hydrophilic outer channels, which moves moisture faster than single-layer wicking fabrics. Independent lab testing shows DryTek dries 40% faster than standard polyester blends. The engineered weave also maintains its wicking performance through 50-plus wash cycles without degradation, while many competing fabrics lose effectiveness after repeated laundering.
Yes, our DryTek women’s tops work for any activity where moisture control matters. Customers wear them for hiking, cycling, running, yoga, Pilates, dance classes, and even casual everyday wear in hot climates. The moisture-wicking technology regulates temperature whether you’re on a trail or running errands in summer heat. The UPF 30 sun protection in our short-sleeve styles makes them ideal for extended outdoor activities.
Our short-sleeve tees feature a relaxed fit with extra room through the midsection and hem, making them ideal for layering or anyone who prefers less restriction during training. The long-sleeve crew runs semi-fitted with a closer cut through the torso while maintaining freedom of movement. Our tank top falls between the two with an athletic fit that’s streamlined without being tight. All three silhouettes use the same DryTek fabric technology.
Wash your DryTek tops in cold water with similar colors using regular detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, which leave residue that clogs the moisture-wicking channels in the fabric. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for fastest results — most DryTek tops air-dry in under 20 minutes. The antimicrobial treatment and moisture-wicking properties last for the life of the garment when you follow these care instructions.
Our DryTek women’s tops run true to standard US sizing based on bust, waist, and hip measurements. If you typically wear a medium in athletic wear, order a medium in our DryTek styles. The short-sleeve tee offers the most relaxed fit if you’re between sizes or prefer extra room. Customers who want a closer fit for studio classes often choose the tank, while the long-sleeve crew works well for layering at your usual size.
Our DryTek long-sleeve crew works as a cold-weather base layer or standalone top in mild conditions down to about 45°F. The moisture-wicking technology is especially important in cold weather because wet fabric against skin accelerates heat loss. When you layer a DryTek top under a jacket, the fabric continues pulling moisture away from your body to keep you warm and dry. Many runners and outdoor athletes use DryTek as their winter base layer year-round.
Our racerback design positions the straps to follow your shoulder blade contours, eliminating pressure points during arm movements. The wide racerback allows your shoulders full range of motion for overhead exercises, swimming strokes, or yoga flows without fabric bunching or sliding. We also extended the torso length in the racerback tank to prevent ride-up during floor exercises and inversions, which is a common complaint with standard tank silhouettes.
