THERE COMES A TIME in every runner’s life when they realise that their beat-up old T-shirt that’s been sitting in the back of their closet for years isn’t conducive to peak performance. Sure, it’s inexpensive, but ol’ reliable isn’t going to help you run a PB.
If you’re ready to start taking running seriously, it’s time to prioritise finding the right gear – starting up top, with a running shirt. You’ll want something made from a sweat-wicking fabric, to soak up all that extra moisture. Breathability is also important, lest you be soaked before you’ve finished the first kilometre. Choosing something lightweight is the next biggest key, if you’re trying to move as fast as possible.
We don’t expect you to be skimming the product details dropdown menu to find every single one of those attributes. So, we’ve done the hard work for you and have rounded up some of our favourite running shirts from a variety of brands.
