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 ... ...It does say it is for cooler to cold weather wear though.
