Short Sleeve Dry Dot Light Crew (Men's)

Nov 03, 2025

Worn when running

I wear it during running. I think it's more comfortable for running on especially hot days. I'm considering purchasing a different color.

Summer and winter!

I use it when running. Of course, in the summer, but even now, it doesn't cool my body down easily when I sweat.

For the autumn trail running event

Purchased for the autumn trail running competition. I'm looking forward to the functionality of the dry dot. I'll use it with the same color arm sleeves.

Worn during sports coaching

Bought to cope with the summer heat. It has quick-drying properties and feels good to wear. The fabric is quite thin, so it's comfortable to wear while doing sports.

This for hot days

I'm a heavy sweater and sweat a lot in the hot summer, but with this, it dries quickly and keeps me cool and comfortable! The white was nice, but since the fabric is thin and see-through, I only purchased the black.

It gets me excited

I bought it as a birthday present for myself. It's slim and the silhouette is nice, and wearing a higher-quality t-shirt raises my spirits. It's a bit expensive, but I recommend it.

I'm wearing it for climbing

I always walk in the mountains wearing The North Face shirts. The texture is smooth and very comfortable to wear. I sweat a lot, but I think it's quick-drying. It would have been nice if there were brighter colors for mountain climbing.

Even when I sweat, it stays dry and doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's not cheap, but it's worth the price.

Light and good

I bought it for trail running, but I've only been using it for running. It's lightweight and very comfortable to wear. I was unsure about the size and bought an L, but it's slightly loose and looks just right. Functionally, it might have been better to go for a tighter fit.

I’m glad I bought it

Used it for a 20km run, starting with just a shirt and a super lightweight shell. Usually, I take off the shell after about 10 minutes, but I kept it on until 15km, which helped as I was running with a backpack. The shirt stayed dry, but the shell got damp with sweat and was wetter than usual. It was comfortable just wearing the shirt for the last 5km. I have long sleeves, but I was surprised again. I got one size larger to avoid it being too tight. Thanks to the staff at the Kawasaki store who recommended the dry dot 'light'.

Cool

Purchased with the expectation of using it for summer low mountain hiking. It feels comfortable without any pressure. The fabric is thin, so it seems like it will dry quickly even if it gets wet with sweat.

Tighter than I expected.

For me, I felt it could have a bit more room in the size. It's not unwearable, though. Its quick-drying ability is outstanding and perfect for running.

With this, you're unstoppable

I chose this for the athletic event outfit. It's thin and has excellent breathability. It also works great as an inner layer for everyday wear. It's convenient to have one during the rainy season. I will purchase a change of clothes.

The size feels good. I usually hesitate between L and M for NF, but this time choosing M was the right decision.
I will see how it feels in use, so I'll give it 3 stars.

It dries quickly even when I sweat, so it's very useful. When combined with moisture-wicking inner layers like the 100 Dry Tank, it can prevent sweat chills.
