Long black tshirt for under running top

13 replies

Itscurtainsforyou · 06/03/2018 22:04

I'm doing a charity run in a few weeks and have a charity running vest. Only problems are that:

  • it's a bit scratchy and I'm not sure I can tolerate wearing it for hours and hours
  • the weather is variable and I might be cold wearing on it's own

So I thought I'd get a long black tshirt to go under it (must cover my bum as don't want it to ride up easily) - any ideas where I can get one? I have a long torso so will need to be bum length at least ( on a normal person).

I was hoping for a primary long tshirt, but no black in my size.

I'm not sure about the length but UNIQLO do good long sleeve tshirts which are also heat-tech as well.

I'll have a look - thanks!

Will you not need something technical to wick away the sweat?

Possibly, I'm just struggling to find anything long enough...

Land's End do a cotton/modal long sleeved t-shirt in crew or scoop neck - they are very soft and quite thin so probably wouldn't hold too much moisture. I wear under short sleeved dresses in winter. Come to bottom of hip on me but I'm short... though I think they do a tall fitting too. Might not be long enough but the length is in the description anyway. Sorry am bad at links!

Gap Breathe t shirt (from their fitness range) is nice and pretty long. Or try their featherweight t shirt in tall.

A sports tshirt such as an under armour or sondico from sports direct. You can get a bigger size to make it longer, but regardless it won't ride up as it has the rubber edge to stop it from moving.

I wouldn’t recommend Sondico. My son had them for mountain climbing and I borrowed one just for walking; we both found they didn’t wick at all well.

Matalan do long vest tops for £4 www.matalan.co.uk/product/detail/s2615327/long-line-vest

Not technical clothing, but does the job.

Asos active wear have lots of reasonably priced tops that might work.

Another vote for Bam. Nice and long, and soft too.
Good luck with your run!
