Sports Top for Running

By Nicoleao @momfever

I love the color!

Yesterday I played Mommy Is A Cab Driver for a field trip. After dropping six kids off at some high school, I suddenly found myself with two and a half hours to kill. What’s a mom to do in such a case? Why, some shopping of course!

Sports top

That’s how I stumbled upon a great new sports top for just 7 USD. This sports top is from a brand I’d never heard of before: Swift Sports. But I sure like their slogan: professional sportsgear with style. I like to consider myself a stylish runner, so I got all excited. And when I read the fine print on the packacing I was pleased. This is what it said: ‘With dry cool treatment. Transports sweat outside easily. Keeps the body dry.’

And they’d added a little picture featuring arrows pointing up, and some little waves, which I think were ‘sweat’.

Material of the sports top

The sports top is made of 93% polyesteer and 7% elasthan. So it’s nice and stretchy. The fabric is a bit shiny, some might even say cheap looking. But I’ld like to think it’s festive.

Sports top features

If I had a list of boxes to check when it comes to finding good running clothes, this sports top definitely ticked them all! Look at all its great qualities.

  • Quick drying
  • Breathable funtion
  • Moisture absorption
  • Reflective details

Sizing

Unfortunately the sports top was packaged in such a way I couldn’t take it out to try it on. So I had to guess my size. I chose a size M. This has turned out reasonably well. But beneath my arms the top is a bit loose. But never mind. for 7 bucks I’m willing to overlook this. Besides I don’t look my clothes too tight.

The top comes in 4 colours: black, red, aqua green/blue and purple.

How much money do you spend per month on running clothes you think?
