Comfortable and durable, but not the best at moisture wicking. That's the main drawback I've noticed compared to other running shirts I own. It seems to collect moisture rather than pull it away, getting heavy almost like a shirt soaked in the rain. It also feels slightly heavier than other athletic tees even when dry. That said, it's held up well through several washes with no major shrinkage, no scratchiness, no chafing, and no fit issues. The fabric is breathable and still very comfortable. I run in the northeast (Massachusetts), typically in the 50-70 degree range, at about an 8-9 minute mile pace. For a graphic tee it does the job, just don't expect top-tier performance fabric.

Great value and holds up really well. I've washed and dried this shirt probably 20 to 25 times and haven't noticed any differences in the graphic quality or overall feel. The fit is pretty solid for my typical workouts, which are usually runs and bike rides. It's not too tight and not too loose, and the mobility has been great. Breathability is on par with any of my other athletic shirts. For higher intensity workouts it's also been good. It's not extremely moisture wicking, but it doesn't feel too heavy with sweat or weigh you down in hotter weather. I'm in the Midwest where it's warming up now, and it's handled the transition nicely. It works well for both workouts and wearing casually. Overall, the comfort, durability, and sizing have all been great. I don't have any complaints.
This is a great workout shirt that's true to size, lightweight, and holds up well wash after wash. I typically do cardio on a bike followed by strength workouts, and the fit and comfort were really good for both. It has a good length without being so long that it gets hung up while biking or lifting. The fabric is lightweight, so when you're sweating you don't feel like you're drowning in it. It's more of a cottony material rather than slinky, which gives you a little more coverage without being overwhelming. The graphic design is very simple, just a cute little Brooks across the top, so it's not loud and you could easily throw it on to run Saturday errands. I've washed it a couple of times on cold with Tide Free and Clear after every wear, and there's been no piling or fading. Compared to other workout shirts I've worn, it's pretty consistent. If you're looking for a reliable, comfortable top for the gym and beyond, I think you'll enjoy it.
