Product Summary
The Brooks Carbonite Short Sleeve shirt features 3M Scotchlite Carbon Black Stretch reflectivity in main areas of motion. This technical material reflects light in motion and makes the wearer more visible to drivers on the road for up to 600 feet away. This shirt is also made from a quick-drying fabric called DriLayer, intended to wick away moisture and keep you dry and cool. And, according to the product description, this shirt can feel dry in under 6 minutes.
The Brooks Carbonite Short Sleeve also is designed with ventilated mesh in high-sweat areas, which can help promote breathability and prevent overheating. Some users reported that they found the shirt to be too short so depending on your body type and personal preferences, this may or may not be an issue.
