The Modern Materials of Running Shirts


Nowadays, the jargon associated with running apparel is comparable in complexity to that of computer technology. To be a quality running shirt, apparel must be moisture wicking, light weight, breathable, odor fighting, reflective, and anti-chafing, at least! Brands like InknBurn also manufacture their clothing in the USA, providing further incentive for buyers.
                  Running shirts like those made by InknBurn contribute not just to the physical ability of a long distance runner, but also their mental attitude. An average cotton or nylon shirt will suffice for a quick jog, but more intense runners require equally sophisticated apparel. InknBurn’s running shirts are made from “the highest quality soft poly,” ensuring a long run will be as comfortable as possible. Those in running shirts with all the aforementioned attractive qualities certainly feel more confident and able than a runner in a standard cotton shirt.

Athletic Gear- What Do Runners Need?

Athletic Gear Purchasing Tips
Take a look into any running store and you'll be amazed. There's so many different products in there it's sometimes hard to believe. What was once thought of as a simple sport requiring a pair of shoes, a shirt, and shorts now has its own store filled with numerous other gadgets and gear from high tech watches to crazy looking products that most people have no idea what they are!

What do runners really need in their athletic gear?

Fortuntely, not much. The bare basics are all that is needed and this includes:
  • Running Shorts
  • Running Shoes
  • T-shirts
  • Underwear
  • Socks
The difference between regular shorts, shoes, underwear, and socks and running athletic gear is in the way that they are made. For example, running socks are designed to handle running and its wear as well as prevent things such as blisters. In addition, the material is made so that it will prevent your feet from getting too soaked if you run in the rain.

This is the same for shirts. It is a good idea to buy well made athletically designed athletic gear for your shirts. INKnBURN provides just that with shirts that are high quality and allow your skin to breath. In addition, they have cool designs on them that don't irritate your skin no matter how much you sweat!
