Running shirts and tops for fast tracks
What we wear can make a huge impact on how well we run. Running shirts and tops are essential layers for everyday runners, designed to keep you comfortable, cool and supported during your workouts. Whether you’re a beginner, trying out the treadmill or training for a marathon, the right running top can make a huge difference in how you perform and feel while running. The materials, fit and features of running shirts are key factors to consider when selecting the best option for your fitness routine. You can find all types of sizes, colours and styles of running tops at MEC, designed by brands like MEC Label, Patagonia, Outdoor Research, MPG and more.
Materials and fabrics
When it comes to dressing for a run, ditch the cotton and opt for quick-drying synthetic layers. Cotton tends to absorb moisture and cling to your body, which can lead to discomfort and chafing. Polyester, nylon or other technical shirts with moisture-wicking capabilities keep you cool and dry even as you get hotter during your run. Other great features of running clothes include antimicrobial treatment to help resist odour build-up, and flatlock stitching reduces chafing.
Fit and comfort
Running t-shirts and tank tops come in several fits to accommodate everyone’s different body types. For some runners, a fitted or compression top offers extra support and helps with muscle recovery by increasing blood flow. Compression shirts are popular among athletes who prefer a snug fit that feels secure and reduces muscle fatigue. Meanwhile, loose-fitting tops provide more airflow and freedom of movement, which is great if you’re a runner who prefers comfort and breathability. For the colder months, opt for long sleeve running shirts or hoodies that will keep you warm while still being breathable, finding the perfect middle ground as you run all season.
Special features
Keep an eye out for running shirts and tops that have practical features built in. For those that run hot, mesh panels or ventilation zones enhance your airflow and improve cooling. Reflective elements like logos or strips improve visibility if you’re out running on a dark morning or night. You can always ask our expert team of MEC staffers at any of our stores for advice and what they like to wear while trail or road running.
