Abstract
This invention provides a garment for a person to wear that will more efficiently remove heat from the person'"'"'s upper body physical activities. The garment of this invention comprises a shirt member made of a fabric that can retrieve water from the surface of the body, the skin, such that the any amount of the heat contained in the removed water does not flow back into the body. The design of the garment of this invention has sides that have a curved, contoured or tapered shape that resembles the normal shape of a person'"'"'s upper body. The contoured design enables the water removing fabric of the shirt to be in constant contact with the person'"'"'s body. The invention has vented areas under both arm locations. These armpit areas retain the most heat and therefore require additional means to efficiently reduce the body temperature in those locations.
