Default hanes softlink discontinued?

I'm being told in Canada that Hanes softlink has been discontinued?
Is this true?
What is the best product to replace with dor sublimation, or are there any other choices?

I believe Soft'linq was discontinued quite a few months ago in the US (least 6 months ago). Some vendors still have surplus, but eventually they'll run out.

Vapor Apparel is a popular alternative, you could also utilize a 100% poly t-shirt, although people usually use Vapor and Softlinq to avoid the polyester feel since they utilize a cotton innershell and poly outer.

Joe is correct...Hanes soft link is no more...at least in USA. I do not know of any other product that has cotton interior and polyester exterior

Vapor t-shirts are 100% polyester and don't have cotton innershells - though they do feel and look very much like cotton t-shirts.
