POTW

Product of the Week (POTW)

Under Armour

Most Running shirts share similar features no matter which company they are from.  One of those features is the "Keep Dry" material that pulls moisture away from the body.  Each company calls it by a different trademarked name.  Saucony calls it "DryLete" while Puma calls it "Coolfresh".  The general idea behind the material is to keep sweat off of the body which controls oder.  (Makes you less stinky when you run :p)  Another feature that many  companies add is a form of reflective protection.  Not all running happens during the day, so it's important to run in some form of reflective material (i.e. reflective logos or piping on the shirt).

Nike

Shirts come in a variety of styles that can include short sleeves, long sleeves, or no sleeves at all (aka sleeveless).  They also come in form-fit, semi-fit, and relaxed-fit styles.  And of course...they come in a variety of lovely colors.  Most shirts are also multipurpose.  Just because you buy a shirt and intend to use it for running doesn't mean you can't use it for weight training or aerobics as well!

As a lot of people already know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.  What better way to support a great cause than to get a tee shirt!  There are sooo many cute ones available at Road Runner Sports.  A percentage of the proceeds from the breast cancer shirts goes to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation.  Every year more than 192,000 women and about 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.  Keep that in mind when you go shopping.

*These are all athletic shirts!

I advise checking out Road Runner Sports.  They carry a wide variety of brands for different activities!
