I ordered two of the micro-softer shirts from OC last year and they were great. I was wondering if any other suppliers have came out with something close to this micro-softer material. With the great rep that OC is building I'm looking for someone with a little better service. Has anyone tried these? Anything comparable?

I've said this a few times, but I've had no problem whatsoever with the Officials Choice, mostly because I do all my business with them over the phone. Try giving them a call, you should be able to get what you need. I haven't found anything close to the micro-softer yet, and since I'm a member of IAABO, I'm sorta stuck with the officials choice for stripes.

I wear the micro-mesh shirt that Honig's makes. I like the product and have always had great service from their people.

Anyone got the new Smitty's Pro Cool shirt?

I've got it and it is just like the cliff keen micro-mesh. I see no difference besides it is a little more form fitting.

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.
