Micro-softer is likely a brand name (or an attempt at one) similar to Coolmax, Dri-Fit, Clima-Cool, etc. McDavid makes an Interawear official's shirt that's basically the same idea. They are all a microfiber polyester rather than the traditional double-knit polyester that's been around for years. The newer material is much lighter and wisks (to varying degrees) moisture away from the body. If you wear a tight undershirt, say from Under Armour or Nike Dri-Fit Pro (the Nikes run VERY small, I might add), then you won't have that soaked feeling if you sweat like a pig (like I do).

The trick now is to find some microfiber pants. Nike and a few other companies make black golf pants, but they have belt loops and cuffs. I'm an on the trail of some microfiber Sansabelt, as I saw something from them on the web, but the site was discontinuing them.

Hopefully, doubleknit polyester will be a thing of the past soon.
