Which is the best running top, BodyPost or Under Armour?
I wanted to check out the market for the best running tops. I found out that the two best companies that manufacture these are BodyPost and Under Armour. So, I decided to check both out to find the one that suits me well. I have experienced them out, and judged them against standards I consider to be most significant in a running vest.
In my test both the garment showed enhanced performance and cutting edge technology in all running conditions. I tried both kits with an experiment of 5 mile running and judged the comfort ability, quality, appearance and technical performance of keeping me cool and dry during the run.
The Women Interval Singlet by Under Armour appears, on the surface, to be a more serious piece of running kit, and as such, I was expecting an advanced performance level from it. I selected the medium which is my common size, but, I had to switch over for a large size, due to the small sizing of this tops. The Moisture Transport System and the strategic ventilation technology in Under Armour tops give you good result on the run. Though, I did experience slightly uncomfortable as the backside of the garment seemed to pull strangely. This was not a huge issue, but still worth noting.
The tank top consists of an anti-odor system that keeps you aesthetically pleasant during long run. The top, however, does not include any bust support, which I feel is a vital issue for me when choosing a tank top for running. It is a little loose and baggy; depending on your choice, you may prefer something more womanly and flattering. It will provide you good performance in running and sports environment but you have to change it when you finish your activity. It is machine washable and quick drying. You can have this product from the online stores of UA with $24.99 only.
I noticed that the BodyPost running vest seems great on my body but it is not the only criteria for choosing a running top. The fabricated Moisture Transport System of the BodyPost vest made me feel cool and dry after even a 5 mile long run. That is certainly what I expected from it. The additional bust support offered by the built in shelf bra was also a welcome addition – something that makes all the difference in comfort and confidence when performing high intensity activity. One of the most common problem of all running top is that those rides up when exercising. I didn’t face that problem with BodyPost top and it stayed firmly in place throughout the run.
At the end of the run, I was unable to get home to change for about half an hour, and by this time the top was fully dry – actually you were unable to tell I had been exercising! The BodyPost vest makes me comfortable throughout my hard working periods as well as fashionable when I’m am in the bar for a drink or at the gym or hanging around in the city because it has a flattering fit look. You can wash this top with your every day laundry and there’s no need to iron. It was dry and ready a few hours later ready to be used again. This top is available in two sizes and is available in black, white and blue colors. All these features come with just $28 with free delivery.
According to the above mentioned points and my requirements, I would like to pick the BodyPost Sports Generator Top. The main reasons why I chose this top is based on the added bust support and more womanly and flattering appearance, whilst still having the cooling and dryness technology offered by the Under Armour top.
