The best sports T-shirts
Training hard in the summer heat? Then you need T-shirts that are breathable and dry quickly
These tops are made of fabric that makes them ideal for summer training. They all ‘wick’ or pull sweat away from the skin where it evaporates, meaning you stay fresh and dry during a workout.
New Balance long-sleeve top
This long-sleeved top is made from hydrophobic polyester, which transfers moisture away from the skin. It also has an MP3 player pocket on the sleeve and loops to keep your headphone lead out of the way.
Check out the New Balance website for more information.
Asics Top Impact short-sleeve shirt, £45
This light top from Asics is made of layered fabric, which removes sweat efficiently. It also has posture-enhancing panels in the fabric and a neat pocket where you can store a bank card, keys or cash while you’re training.

Nike Dri-FIT singlet, £13.70
The Dri-FIT wicking technology in this lightweight singlet will keep you dry and comfortable regardless of the temperature. The shirt also has ergonomic seams to keep chafing to a minimum – great for longer runs. Nice and cheap too.
Visit the Nike website for more information.
Adidas TechFit PowerWeb vest, £45
The compression fabric and polyurethane bands in this close-fitting singlet are meant to speed up your muscles’ energy production, enhancing performance. We didn’t notice that while running but it was certainly comfy and breathable.
