Product Overview
The Men's TriDri recycled performance t-shirt represents a significant step forward in functional workwear, combining technical performance with a clear focus on environmental responsibility. Built with the same proven features as the popular TR010, this garment is constructed from 100% recycled polyester, offering a soft-touch, lightweight feel that does not compromise on durability. Its primary function is moisture management, utilising a specialised wicking fabric that actively draws sweat away from the skin to keep the wearer dry during high-intensity activity or warm-weather shifts. With the added benefit of UPF 40+ protection, it serves as a reliable barrier for those working outdoors.

- Twin-needle stitching: Located on the hem and arms, this reinforced stitching provides the structural integrity required to withstand regular wear and industrial use.
- Four-way stretch: The fabric composition allows for a full range of movement, ensuring the t-shirt retains its shape even during physical tasks.
- Tag-free design: Featuring a cut-away inner label, this design minimises irritation and allows for easy rebranding if required.
Design & Performance
In terms of performance, this t-shirt is designed for those who require more than a standard cotton garment. The lightweight fabric is exceptionally breathable, facilitating airflow and rapid evaporation. The crew neck design and short sleeves offer a classic silhouette, while the twin-needle stitching ensures that the garment maintains its form after numerous laundry cycles. Because it is crafted from recycled polyester, the fabric is naturally resilient to creases and shrinkage, providing a low-maintenance solution for busy professionals.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The TriDri performance t-shirt is a versatile canvas for your company branding. For a high-end, traditional aesthetic, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, uses precision machinery to apply logos and names that will last as long as the garment itself. If your design is particularly large or requires bold, vibrant colours, heat-transfer printing is an excellent alternative.
Technically, when opting for print, we advise the use of block-out vinyl and specific inks. This prevents dye migration from the polyester fabric, ensuring your branding remains sharp and true to colour. All customisation is handled in-house at our UK facility, ensuring rigorous quality control.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically engineered for active environments. It is highly suited for personal trainers, event staff, and tradespeople working in high-temperature conditions. Its professional appearance also makes it a viable option for corporate charity events or team-building exercises where physical activity is expected.

Practical Advice
The TR501 is designed with a performance fit in mind. If you prefer a more relaxed feel or intend to wear it as a base layer under thicker uniforms, please consult the size guide which ranges from Small to 3XL. Given its lightweight nature, it layers exceptionally well under fleeces or softshell jackets without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the technical properties and the integrity of your custom branding, it is important to follow specific care protocols. Maintaining the fabric’s wicking capability requires careful attention during the wash cycle.
We recommend a machine wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature ensures that dirt and bacteria are removed effectively while protecting the recycled polyester fibres from thermal damage. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and significantly reduce the garment's ability to wick moisture away from the skin.
When drying, air drying is preferable. Exposure to high heat in a tumble dryer can degrade the elasticity of the fabric and potentially damage any printed logos. If ironing is necessary, use a cool setting and avoid direct contact with any customised areas to prevent melting or peeling.
