- Unless you are a woman I'd advice to run without anything on top :-).
-
- Seriously, I prefer to run without any shirt when its hot and never had
- any problems with that.
-
- No high-tech material can evaporate better than the pure skin.
- On the other hand, its quite unpleasant to run with an wet shirt after
- a while.
- I`ve realized that this sometimes caused a cold of my kindneys.
