[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have one of these shirts for every day of the week - cannot speak highly enough about them. Very very lightweight and breathable; perfect for hot runs or long slogs on the treadmill.

The comfiest workout shirt!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shirt feels like you’re wearing something super supportive and like nothing all at once! There’s enough structure in the top that I felt supported, but the bottom was so nice and flowy just the way I like it! I am someone who is hesitant of tighter arms, but these actually were super great and I was so pleasantly surprised!

Ultralight summer running essential

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very impressed with this NB ice tee. It’s incredibly lightweight and breathable, perfect for summer runs. It’s been a cold winter n’ I’ve been running a lot in treadmill. The mesh fabric keeps air flowing and doesn’t cling, even during sweaty workouts. While running outside, the cool lime color feels fresh and summery while adding visibility. It fits comfortably with a flattering athletic cut. A great go-to for hot days.

Breathable, Lightweight Performance Tee

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would highly recommend this T-shirt. The material is breathable, lightweight, and extremely comfortable, making it perfect for workouts and runs. It fits true to size, which I really appreciate, and the moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric keeps me feeling dry and comfortable throughout my exercise. I also love the bright neon color—it really stands out. As an added bonus, I appreciate that the material is made mostly from recycled fabrics, making it a more sustainable choice.

I love the holes, breathability, and light weight

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This RC Essential T-shirt performs beautifully on runs. The holes and breathable fabric make it incredibly lightweight, you barely notice you’re wearing anything. During my hour long treadmill run, I sweat heavily and the shirt gets completely soaked, but it dries fast and doesn’t hold onto any odor afterward. I appreciate the understated, minimal logo. Sizing runs true or just a touch large.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very light and breathable. Probably will be nice for warm weather running (unfortunately it's FREEZING now where I am but excited to try for spring/summer!) The material is super soft too.

My New Favorite Workout Tee
Originally posted on New Balance US
Yes, I recommend this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I opened the package, the first thing that caught my eye was the light purple color: it’s such a fresh, clean shade. Then I picked it up and was genuinely surprised by how light and soft it felt. It’s one of those shirts you can tell is going to be comfortable before you even put it on. I wore it to the gym for a two-hour workout, and it did not disappoint. I sweat a lot during my sessions, but this shirt dries incredibly fast. It never felt heavy or clingy, and I stayed feeling fresh the whole time. The fabric really breathes well and moves with your body instead of sticking to it. This has quickly become my favorite workout t-shirt. It’s breathable, dries fast, super comfortable, and really adjusts to your body while you move.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shirt is the best workout/running shirt I've had in a long time. It’s a relaxed fit, so nice for my easy runs or strength training, and it's comfortable even if you get super sweaty. I also struggle to find short sleeves that for muscular arms and aren't too tight, and this fit great in the arms! I got tons of compliments on the purple color too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this shirt! Super cute bright color (great for running at night) and very breathable and sweat wicking. My go-to for treadmill apparel in the winter. The cut is also very flattering and I love the curved hem at the bottom.

I love these t-shirts for running in warm conditions. Breath really well and they are lose but not to big feeling with the light fabric.
