[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a huge fan of breathable performance wear and had very high hopes for this running shirt when I got it. I will start by saying that I absolutely love the feel of the material, and the UV/UPF protection in this running shirt is a major added bonus. The style of the shirt is perfect for runs on cooler days because the neck keeps me warm without the suffocating feeling of a turtleneck, and it doesn’t rub uncomfortably at all. The material keeps me warm but also breathes, and it’s moisture-wicking, which is essential for longer workouts. The shirt functions as a breathable long sleeve and is easy to remove as a second layer when I get too hot. The finger holes are a great addition, and I’m a big fan of the watch window! As someone who believes that all running leggings should have pockets, I’m now also a firm believer that all running shirts should have watch windows – it’s so convenient. I also appreciate the reflective touches on the arms and back for added visibility during runs in low light. However, there are a few drawbacks. The sleeves are a bit long, and the shirt length feels way too short. At 5'4", it hits right at my waist with my arms at my sides, but as soon as I stretch or move my arms, it rides up, which is a major issue. I probably should have sized up to accommodate for a larger bust, but I’m still disappointed by the fit. Overall, I’m giving it a 2 out 5 stars due to the fit; it could definitely be improved – I’d love to see more length in the body of the shirt and less in the sleeves. If you’re between sizes or have a larger bust, I definitely recommend sizing up.
