- Canterbury
Racer Vest
£19 canterbury.com
Rugby brand Canterbury
has branched out into
kit for running and other
sports. This entry-level
vest does everything that
you would expect for
the price: itâs a standard
cut with medium-sized
arm holes; and wicking
and breathability are
reasonable. The latlock
seams are a bonus.
7. On Tank Tee
£60 on-running.com
About as loaty and
lightweight a top as youâll
ind. Some sports tops get
heavier as they absorb
sweat but thereâs no risk
of that here because the
breathability of the stretchy
fabric is excellent. The tee
sits loosely on the hips
lares subtly at the bottom
has large arm holes and
will keep you cool on the
hottest summer runs.
8. 2XU Ghst
SS Top
£40 2xu.com
If youâre going to a hot
country for your summer
holiday bung this top into
your suitcase. Not only
does it weigh a mere 96g
- so it wonât put you over
your allowance â but also
the weave contains xylitol
which produces a cooling
sensation when in contact
with moisture and also
acts as a UV relector.
9. Crewroom
Essence Tee
£34 crewroom.com
A decent mid-range top
that will serve you just as
well out on the roads as it
will in a gym class or yoga
studio. Its wide neckline
and loose it around the
hips mean itâs suitable
for a variety of body
shapes and the super-
soft weave is stretchy
and also wicks away
sweat with ease.
10. Adidas
Ultra Primeknit
Parley Tank
£60 adidas.com/uk
This top keeps you cool
dry and comfy and youâll
be doing some good for
the environment: as with
all products in the Parley
range some of the yarn
is made from recycled
plastic waste thatâs been
taken from beaches and
coastal areas before it
gets to the ocean.
