Brooks Dash Short Sleeve

This is my go-to shirt for summer running. It's incredibly lightweight, breathable, and cool, and it doesn't chafe under the armpits. I find myself grabbing it first because of how good it feels when I run. It fits true to size without that suffocating tightness some running shirts have. It hangs loose and flowy, hitting right at the hip without being too baggy. It's held up well after several washings with no pilling, and it hasn't snagged on Velcro or anything else. One thing to note: it is slightly see-through, which I didn't realize the first time I wore it. I'm currently training for a 10k, running about 15 to 20 miles a week, and it's been humid in the 70s. This shirt handles those conditions perfectly.

Solid shirt that fits well, breathes well, and holds up nicely after about three months of regular wear. It does a great job letting off heat when it's warm and retaining it when it's chillier outside. It doesn't seem to hold smells, and it washes well without fading. The seams are holding up alright, though the threads will pick a little during rough activity like yard work. That's not really what it's designed for, just something to note if you're considering it for heavy labor in rough environments. I have a longer torso and the sizing covers that well. I wear it about once a week and wash it every couple of uses. Overall pretty happy with it.

This shirt is high quality, breathable and lightweight, but the see-through fabric is a dealbreaker for me. It's completely transparent even before I start sweating, so any bra I'm wearing is totally visible. I often run and then head straight to the gym without changing, and I don't want to be working out with my bra fully showing. The fit is pretty loose, which is fine, and I haven't had any chafing so far. The quality seems really great too. No pilling, no color changes, no loose threads. It totally allows a lot of airflow, and it's really comfortable and light. My issue is that the weight of this shirt calls for warm weather, and when it's that warm I'm probably going to opt for a tank top to avoid a farmer's tan. So the occasion that I would use this shirt feels infrequent for me. The loose fit also makes me wonder about chafing on really long runs, though I haven't tested that yet. I wore it once on a 6-mile run, but I'd want to take it out for 8 or more miles before I could call it a solid long-distance option. I usually run somewhere between 20 and 25 miles a week with runs ranging from three and a half to five miles, and I do strength training three to four times a week. For my routine, I just don't see myself reaching for this shirt over a sleeveless option.
