perspiration-wicking weave

"wick/wicking" seems to be the marketing term used to describe this.

Another option is "moisture-wicking".

anti- perspiration weave

I definitely wouldn't use "sweat"!
"fittina" is hard... I chose weave, but there are other possibilities
Good luck>

anti-persperation mesh

there are many options for "fittina" but I believe "mesh" would be the best. I'm guessing that this T-shirt is some form of sports wear.

no-sweat fabric/fibre

I totally agree with jajd's reserves on the word sweat, but as sson as I typed in no-sweat t-shirts there was a huge list including ranges called just that! It seems that anti-perspirant is OK for sprays but as we do perspire, when it comes to clothes and special fabrics they talk about keeping you dry I suppose you could say dry fabric..... well, anyway that's all folks!
