082 RUNNERSWORLD.CO.UK JUNE 2018
- Under Armour
Swyft Hoodie
£60 underamour.co.uk
This loose-itting top will
suit most shapes although
dedicated club runners
might ind it a tad heavier
than is comfortable. As part
of UAâs HeatGear range it
does a good job of wicking
sweat away and the huge
ventilation strips also work
well. The hood will keep the
sun at bay and could prove
handy in a summer shower.
2. Patagonia
Windchaser Shirt
£55 patagonia.eu
This is a super-light
polyester top that does
everything you would
want from a warm-
weather T-shirt but
the bigger story here
is an ethical one: itâs
part of Patagoniaâs Fair
Trade Certiied sewing
programme so the
factory workers share
in the proits from sales.
3. Sundried
Les Diablons
Muscle Tank
£30 sundried.com
The name of this top
is a little misleading: it
is just as good for race
day as it is for treating
everyone to a gun show
in the gym. The polyester
and polymide mix of the
fabric makes it soft and
stretchy â and durable
enough to last you a
couple of summers.
4. Adidas Freelift
Climachill Tee
£40 adidas.com/uk
A mass-appeal tee of
the type that Adidas is
so good at: boxy cut for
all body types a weave
that wicks superbly and
a durability that means
it retains its shape wash
after wash. There are also
small aluminium-silver
dots on the inside back
that conduct heat away
from the body.
5. Dhb Run Singlet
£11.99 wiggle.co.uk
If you saw this without
the Dhb logo youâd never
guess it was an entry-level
vest. It looks and feels like
a pricier top: ergonomic
cut latlock seams for
minimal chaing arm holes
that arenât too cavernous
and lappy and even the
presence of anti-odour
treatment Polygiene in the
weave so you wonât have
to bin it after a few races.
