Advantages: Comfortable with superb wicking properties Disadvantages: Creases a bit in the wash.
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 ...
Advantages: Great price, dry and matching shorts available Disadvantages: none
After the success with the HellyHansen 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 HellyHansen 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 that there is zero chaffing.
Just like the shorts - 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 ...
Advantages: High gloss professional finish Disadvantages: doesn't stop chipping but then, what does?
though it is, is not about to change that.
Its not a major criticism, it's just this is an honest review and I wouldn't want anyone to buy it thinking its going to stop chipping. That said, It does make your polish much longer lasting.
Firstly apply a base coat (this is important as seche vite bonds with it) followed by your nail polish.
To apply, you get a nice bead of it on your brush and wipe it over your freshly painted wet nails. The consistency is quite thick and gloopy but very smooth. It gives your nails an ultra glossy sheen and also smooths over any glitches in your nail colour.
It also acts as a fast dry product and my nails are touch dry in a couple of minutes. It does take longer for them to harden though.
It just gives your nails such a high polish finish they look that bit more professional - it also serves to make ...
