Running Shirts Frequently Asked Questions

What type of shirt is best for running?

There are some general qualities that are ideal for running shirts: moisture-managing technology, light weight and breathability, with flat seams that won't chafe. Look for shirts made from polyester, nylon or a blend. These fabrics sweep sweat away from your skin, keeping you cool and dry. In warm weather, a tank top, singlet or a short sleeved shirt is ideal. In cooler weather, you may prefer a long sleeved shirt or a running jacket.

Do running shirts make a difference?

The shirt you wear probably won't make or break your run, but the right shirt can make it more comfortable. Running shirts are designed with specific fabrics and features to enhance your comfort and performance. This makes running shirts a worthwhile investment, especially if you run regularly. If you're just starting out or only run occasionally, a regular t-shirt might suffice. But keep in mind that cotton fabric will quickly absorb sweat and feel soggy or clammy.

Should running shirts be loose?

A loose running shirt could be more comfortable in hot weather because it allows for better air circulation, feels less restrictive and provides a wider range of motion. But loose running shirts also can flap in the wind, which might be distracting and annoying, especially on long runs. And loose fabric rubbing against your skin can irritate areas like armpits. More fitted running shirts minimize chafing, manage moisture more efficiently and might provide a slight performance advantage by reducing drag.
