The short has a soft and fast wicking material with 2 baggy pockets on the sides for small things like gels and a hook for car or house keys. The short is true to size and feels light weight with a very comfortable inner lining which has no compression and it really stretches on the run yet doesn’t get loose. The strips have good visibility and reflectivity at night when lit by headl lights, while the inner lining bright yellow short plays a strong role in that it is also very noticeable at night. The shorts have 4 Carbonite strips: 2 in the front and 2 in the back with a bright yellow inner lining short. So, comfort and safety all in a single short with no compromises for either so while somewhat pricey at $75 I think it is an easy decision to consider them.
I should have, and could have, worn the long sleeve top that day. Perfect for the race and I appreciated the easy to reach pockets for my gels and the loop for my car key. I like them so much and I am super fussy about race shorts that I wore them for my recent half marathon on a windless day with temps in the lower 40’s. Of course, the shorts are very visible day or night with Carbon Black reflective strips at the lower hems front and back with the inner short providing a high visibility optic yellow to highlight your legs in motion. The pockets run from off center to the sides. The waistband is also soft and broad with four quite baggy drop in pockets on the outside including one with a key loop. The liner has a secure no bounce single thigh phone pocket. Sam: The shorts are all about very soft and comfortable with the liner non compression and equally soft. Note even the lights in my kitchen and camera activated the Carbon Black reflectivity The fit in my medium is easy going and the sleeves are decently easy to roll up something I look for.Īs with the shorts, why not add safety to comfort.Īt $100 it is quite pricey even with the built in day and night safety features but you will never be caught at dusk or dawn or after dark, and really in the dark to vehicles, if timing doesn’t go quite as planned on a run. While it looks beefy and waffled, it is actually very airy between the raised grids.

I was surprised how breathable and comfortable the top was on a 70 F plus day. It has lots of 3D surfaces for evaporation and I think under a winter layer for a touch of stand off insulation. I am surprised how breathable and low moisture absorbing the top is despite its grid like appearance ofvery thin mesh between raised profiles. While they’re no match for a headlamp or LEDs, the bits of reflective tape are fairly noticeable around ambient light on the roads, and make this shirt a viable choice for those who run pre/post work during the darker months.
The length is a touch on the short side, and sits right around waist height. There are thumb holes for those who want them. As an outermost layer, it works nicely with one or a couple thin layers beneath it. The fit was true to size and I’d describe it as semi-fitted - not as slim as some other running specific shirts, but not baggy either. While the weave of the recycled fabric makes it feel more robust and cozy than a traditional polyester sweat-wicking fabric, it doesn’t feel quite as refined as $100 tops from competing brands.
