Nike Dri-Fit Seamless Mapped Half-Zip Shirt : Fits Like a Glove

When I exercise, whether I'm power walking, lifting weights, or hiking, I prefer form-fitting tops to baggy t-shirts. So I'm a big fan of Nike's Seamless Mapped Half-Zip Shirt.

The fabric is soft as silk but as substantial as cotton, so it feels good against my skin. I really appreciate the seamless, body-hugging design and the raglan sleeves; both features make this top fit like a glove. And no chafing or bunching.

This may sound silly, but I actually feel more fit when I wear my Nike top because the material hugs my body uniformly from the ends of the sleeves to the bottom hem of the shirt so my arms and torso feel supported like my legs do in a good pair of running tights. On cool days, this top is ideal under a long sleeve shirt, and in warmer temps, the close fit aids in wicking away sweat.

Nike's done a great job with this t-shirt, which I wear for everything. I especially love the fact that the shirt is long through the torso. I'm 5'11", so I always like to find companies that make women's tops with a bit more length. Because of the stretchy fit, I think a lot of different body types will appreciate wearing this shirt. Available in men's and women's styles.

Bottom Line: This super functional top is one of my favorites. It also looks great with jeans. Click on Altrec, below, to find this top on sale. --E.D. (June '05)
