I spent hours and hours researching which shirt would be the best for long distance running. Having come to the realisation that a cotton T shirt is vile to run in once you start sweating. The majority of comments I read or heard were full of praise for this shirt and rightly so.
Its wicking properties are fantastic and although it is a base layer I wear it on its own and find it keeps me warm enough at the moment (and I feel the cold), but with the colder weather approaching an additional top will be required. It does say it is for cooler to cold weather wear though.
It removes moisture from the body very efficiently and is very comfortable to wear. All the seams are flat and I haven\'t experienced any chaffing anywhere.
It washes well but does come out a bit creased (and stays creased) if you spin dry it (maybe hand washing would be advisable). It is a pain to iron too, but so long as you aren\'t too much of a prima dona about how you look it's not a problem. Even with a few faint creases it still looks sylish and comfortable.
I have had my current shirt for well over a year and use it at least three times a week and it looks, feels, fits and smells as good as new.
The price varies according to where you buy it. I got my from a shop on ebay and it only cost me £15 (but it was last seasons colour!) Wiggle offer good prices too, but I think around £20- £25 is pretty much the average cost.
It comes in a range of colours for men and women e.g navy blue, black, pale blue, pink. They do change with the seasons as mentioned earlier. The only possible down side is there is no reflective logo or symbol on the shirt, but I wear a relective band so isn't a issue for me but might be for others.
Advantages: Great price, dry and matching shorts available Disadvantages: none
After the success with the Helly Hansen undershorts I had to try out a base layer jersey.
I have tried dri-fit tops before, and whilst they have been good and locking away most of the moisture, I have never tried one which has kept my as dry as the Helly Hansen Lifa.
Like the Lifa shorts, the top is made out of 100% polypropylene. As with the shorts tha top is skin tight and seamless to ensure that moisture is kept away from the skin and to ensure ... ...- the lifa is designed to be a base layer and have another top or jersey put over the top. The advert states ideal for warm to cool days - I think that this top is for cool to cold days since it is very warm. The long sleeves ensure that the whole upper body is kept covered and benefits from the stay dry effect.
Saying this though the Lifa top could be used on its own. It is stylish so it does not have to be covered up, it just depends on how brave ...
