So what are soccer jerseys made of now?

Nearly 100% polyester fabrics.

Polyester offers a great many benefits, chiefly among them being their lightweight yet durable quality, perfect for spending large amounts of time on the soccer field.

Polyester is a naturally breathable fabric, so it does a better job than other fabrics at keeping you cool.

Another key benefit of polyester is its moisture-wicking characteristics. It doesn’t hold water like other natural fabrics, so it won’t retain sweat.
