dri-fit

Sweat-pulling athletic material

Dri-fit is Nike's trademarked name for moisture-wicking fabric that pulls sweat away from the body, keeping athletes cooler and drier during exercise.

The term has become semi-generic for any synthetic athletic fabric with similar properties: I only wear dri-fit shirts to the gym.

Also styled as Dri-FIT.
