I've tried 3 kinds: McDavid Intera, Nike Dri-Fit, and InSport CoolMax (all sleeveless v-neck). The McDavid fabric is about 3x the thickness of the Dri-Fit with the InSport about halfway between. The McDavid and Nike work about the same with wicking sweat away though the McDavid perhaps keeping a little more heat in.

When worn with a micro-mesh shirt, I find myself immeasurably drier at the end of a game when compared to cotton. When worn with the McDavid Intera Stripes, they both perform about the same but a little short of wearing them with micromesh. When worn with a regular polyester shirt, it helps a some but not nearly as much.

As I said earlier, I like the lighter feel of the Dri-Fit. I like the Coolmax the least....mostly the cut/fit of hte one I have is not as good.

In anycase, cotton is NOT even close.
