Work out shirts

[FrankieP1988]

Looking into getting some new work out gear. My old shirts are starting to get a mildew smell to them. Usually just wear old cotton t shirts.

Do you have a go-to work out shirt or just use old t shirts?

Outdoor Research Echo series is my go to for outdoor runs/training hikes and the Patagonia capilene cool is my favorite for my gym focused days. Definitely more expensive than the old cottons but less smelly, faster drying and helps a lot to prevent rashes I used to get from longer training sessions in good ol wet cotton lol.

Frank my man,

my middle name was cotton.

But the performance T-shirt materials do breathe better/cooler and the stank isn't there like cotton, (unless you don't get them dry in the dryer)

We get them at work so I don't know what the Brand of the material is (guaranteed just a generic), but it's the polyester/spandex blends.

stay looking newer longer than cotton too.

In the gym I like a mostly cotton shirt because squats are usually on the menu and the synthetic shirts don't grip the bar in the low bar position like cotton with a dash of chalk on it. Training hikes, a synthetic can be nice for staying drier.

The Kuiu Gila and 120 Merino SS/LS/hoodies do as well in the gym for me as they do hunting.

I usually stick to a cheap Under Armor shirt or some old Nike Dri-fit stuff. If you look around at places like goodwill or Tjmaxx there are cheap performance shirts. Be aware you may be stuck with a shirt from a sports team or some goofy colors.

I am all too familiar with the odor cotton workout shirts can get. Washing them with a cup of vinegar in the machine and line-drying them in the sun is pretty effective at killing the smell.

I really like All in motion shirts for workout and hunting.
