By Ranked #363 - Men's Performance Shirts - Long Sleeve November 14, 2010

I'm a goalkeeper for soccer and I study sport science, so naturally when I was shown the videos showcasing this product, I was curious about it. Does anyone know the DURABILITY of this shirt? My two main concerns are:
1. How the vents/microtubules in the underarm/armpit regions will hold up to me diving down on my sides repeatedly (2 training sessions and 1 match per week). Is this going to compromise the effectiveness of these structures or are they built to withstand such abuse/contact? While I'm on this topic, I do also catch hard shots into my chest. I'd also, therefore, be concerned with the vents on the chest.
2.The actual material it is made of. As I get down to the ground and catch a ball, the bottom of my forearms often are where I land on and drag against the ground coming forward. I've ripped through countless Under Armour and other base layer/second skin-type material and am currently using a no-name top that seems to be doing the job.

Thanks for any help.
