Best Practice hockey jerseys/socks for breathability?

[Beflar 53]

Xmas is coming and I haven't bought a new practice jersey or socks in ten years.  Was wondering if anything new has come out in that time that I should look at. 

Breathability and staying dry are the most important features I'm looking for.

Low end CCM. They’re light, stretchy, and sized well. We got them as a giveaway at our rink and I still wear it when I sub for other teams.

I like these guys for socks and jerseys. Good quality at a killer price.

My Tron socks were like $15 and are going on like... 6 years now. I just started using team socks this year so I don't really use them unless I go play pick up or something.

Im shocked. Every person on my team with Tron socks has holes all over them.

Weird. I have 2 pairs actually and I wore one of them exclusively for my last 2 teams (about 6 years) and there might be a few little holes on the front  but the stitching has held up great, I have no complaints. Are you guys getting hacked a lot or something or are they washing them a ton? My old knits socks from 10+ years ago ended up with a ton of holes after just a few years.

Yeah, all of my TRON socks fell apart really quickly. I do skate a lot though, at least 5-7 times a week.

Single color CCMs are nice and cheap. The fabric is not cutting edge technology, but it holds together.

My favorites are Kobe. Very breathable and durable.

Mesh socks.  I own Reebok, CCM, Bauer, Gladiator, and Tron.  Tron are cheap, but they tear easily.  Bauer and CCM are good, but also tear.  Reebok I found were very durable, but not sure they're very easy to find anymore.  Gladiator, the most durable and protective, but you sacrifice breathability, as they are thick and wear warm. (but great for playing outdoors).  Additionally, all these brands shrink some when washing, except the Gladiators.
