Review on IcyZone Pack of 3 Workout Running Tshirts for Women: Fitness Athletic Yoga Tops - Exercise Gym Shirts by Mark Hamblin

Revainrating 1 out of 5

TERRIBLE, horrible, horrible: hot, not breathable and very scratchy

These t-shirts were a big disappointment. I bought them to take with me on a 3 week hike. I needed something breathable, cool and synthetic (dries faster). Basically I just needed some non-cotton training t-shirts and wasn't particularly concerned about the fit, style etc. I didn't have time to try them on before I went and unfortunately this was the first time I tried them on. on the trail (which was a stupid decision on my part). I couldn't even spend a whole day hiking in one of these shirts. They were HOT, hot, hot and not breathable at all. The fabric resembles thick (much thicker than a regular training t-shirt) tight spandex. They were totally unsuited for wear in subtropical climates and would not breathe under clothing in alpine environments. I can't even imagine working in one of them. I would have died of heat stroke. The other big problem is that they were prickly as hell! I don't think I've ever worn another shirt made from such an uncomfortable fabric. They irritated and made my skin red. The fabric actually cut into my skin under the backpack straps and I had to change. I tried aggressively washing one of them a few times but it didn't soften at all. Because of this, I just gave up the t-shirts on the trail for the first few days and decided to wear the same smelly t-shirt every day for a few days. 3 weeks. They were SO bad. Don't buy this! From a technical point of view, there are many better options that are actually designed for physical activity.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not the best
