A few weeks ago I became a Swirlgear Brand Ambassador. If you haven’t heard of Swirlgear before, go check them out, their gear is beautiful and so functional. I was really excited when my first shipment arrived that immediately opened the box (with the help of my son) and tried them on. I ordered the Long Sleeve Allover Spray Dye shirt and the Long Sleeve Sunny Yellow shirt in size small.
First, let’s start with the Allover Spray Dye shirt. This is Swirlgear’s signature spray dye look and the shirt looks so much better in person than it did on the website (and I really liked it on the website!) I put this shirt on and immediately said “Ahhh!” It was just so comfortable. I love that it is made of moisture wicking technical fabric (which is critical for long runs in the cold weather) but it also has flat stitching, so you don’t feel itchy and annoyed when a seam is rubbing against your skin! I also really liked the longer length, as a lot of my running shirts have the tendency to ride up when I’m running but this length looks like it will be perfect! It also features a reflective logo on the back, an added safety feature when outdoors–how cool is that?
Next up is the Sunny yellow long sleeve shirt. I have to say, this color just made me smile. How can you not smile when you see bright, happy colors? This shirt was so soft and comfortable that I actually left it on for the rest of the day. Like the spray dye shirt, it has flat seams, moisture wicking fabric, the longer cut in the arms and torso and the reflective logo on the back. The only thing that could make me love these shirts even more than I already do is if they had thumb holes, which I have professed my undying love for many times before.
With my official marathon training starting this Monday and the cold temps here in MA, these two tops are going to be perfect to wear outside when I am running the cold, snowy streets of Boston! I actually wore the yellow one this morning on my long run and it was perfect over my base layer and under my running jacket. I did an easy 8.5 miles and it was 28 degrees outside and beautiful. I felt totally comfortable in it the entire run, the material didn’t bunch up or chafe and it wicked away the sweat perfectly. I am more than impressed with this shirt and can’t wait to wear the tie dye one on my next run! I however, was less than impressed with myself as I forgot to charge my Garmin and it died 4.6 miles into my run, thankfully I had the course mapped and I knew the distance, otherwise it would have totally thrown me off!
Now that you have seen how beautiful and functional these pieces are, if you want to try Swirlgear for yourself, you can drop on by their site, shop around and then enter the coupon code swirlon at checkout to receive FREE SHIPPING on your entire purchase.
