Best Running T-Shirts & Vests: Summer 2024

What's the difference with a running T-shirt?

There's no doubt a good running T-shirt can change your experience and overall performance. It keeps you dry, fresh and chafe-free. Probably most of us have seen pictures of marathon runners with nipples bleeding through on their tops. Nope, we certainly don't want that on our running tee! So, if you are active – you run, cycle, go to the gym etc, consider a good technical top to tackle said incidents.

Check out the pick of our favourite short-sleeve running tees from the latest collection: technical, lightweight and well designed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can't I just run in a normal cotton T-shirt? 
A: Cotton material isn't advised for any high-intensity activity because of its lack of moisture management and low breathability. Sweat is captured in it, which causes bacterial growth, a bad smell and rubbing against your skin.

Q: What is a technical fabric?
A: Material made from (usually synthetic) fibres, which are moisture-wicking, breathable and stretchy. Every year, more and more companies are starting to use recycled polyester for running gear production, which makes it a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. It's not only the content of the fabric, but the construction of the fabric that gives it technical properties.

Q: What is the best running shirt material?
A: Polyester or nylon are great for any high-intensity exercises. Some companies blend them with natural material like tencel, merino wool or linen for comfort and a cooling effect.

Q: How to care for running T-shirts?
A: We recommend washing all your technical clothes in 30 degrees, ideally with detergent designed for sportswear. Do not use any softener and remember to line dry your clothes.
