GEAR



  1. Castore
    Harrop Tee
    £95 castore.com
    A premium price but if
    you have the money this
    is a good investment. It
    features some of the best
    anti-odour technology
    we’ve come across and is
    cut from one piece of
    cloth to limit chaing. It
    may be a little heavy for
    some but the weave helps
    to regulate temperature
    so you’ll stay cool.
    7. Björn Borg Tee
    £25 bjornborg.com/uk
    This one comes with
    a bold claim from the
    company: ‘this T-shirt is
    one you’ll want to buy in
    bulk.’ Asking for trouble
    you might think but this is
    excellent value. It has few
    bells and whistles but it’s
    comfy reliable distinctive
    hard-wearing and comes
    in a standard cut that’s
    accommodating without
    being shapeless.
    8. 2XU Ghst Tee
    £40 2xu.com
    We like this top so much
    that it features in both
    the women’s and men’s
    line-ups in this review.
    Its primary function is
    to be comfortable and
    light enough to make
    you almost forget you’re
    wearing it and it does a
    great job. For long training
    runs in the dog days of
    August this should be a
    go-to piece of kit.
    9. Falke Air
    Ventilation
    Tank Top
    £80 falke.com
    The clue is in the name
    here. It’s a close-itting
    top that is in essence
    just one big mesh panel.
    But it manages to be
    breathable ventilated
    wicking and fast-drying
    with no fuss. Think of
    this as the butler of your
    running wardrobe: classy
    unobtrusive and eicient.
    10. Soar Raglan
    T-Shir t
    £69 soarrunning.com
    Raglan sleeves are always
    welcome in a running top

    • the greater freedom of
      movement they ofer means
      there’ll be no riding up or
      underarm chaing on long
      runs. It’s a semi-itted cut
      so it sits quite close around
      the hips and stomach.
      There are relective logos
      on the front and back for
      running in the twilight.
