The Recon Short Sleeve Tee is one of those shirts that can do it all. The fabric is moisture-wicking, but the feel is very soft. We wouldn't initially classify this as a "training shirt", but we have found ourselves wearing it to the gym pretty often. Just to be clear, this is not a technical running shirt. It feels like high-end "activewear" with a casual look and feel. The fit is form fitting, but not tight. Size up one size if you like your shirts to fit more loosely. We recommend wearing this shirt before and after your race, or even better, when you're standing on the podium!
