T-shirt or tank top: which should you choose?

The technical t-shirt

Versatile and sun-protective on the shoulders, it suits most conditions from spring to fall. Go for a fitted but not tight cut to limit chafing.

The tank top

Ideal in hot weather or for intense efforts, it maximizes ventilation and shoulder mobility. A favourite for summer races and speed work.

How to choose your running top

Fabrics that wick sweat

Unlike cotton, which holds moisture, technical fabrics (polyester and breathable blends) pull sweat away from the skin to keep you dry and reduce the risk of irritation.

Merino wool for temperature regulation

Merino wool tops, like those from Smartwool, regulate temperature, limit odour and stay comfortable even on long runs. An excellent four-season option.

Fit and anti-chafe comfort

Look for flat seams and a cut suited to your build to avoid irritation over long distances. The right socks and shorts round out your comfort.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a running t-shirt and a regular one?
A running t-shirt uses technical fabrics that wick sweat and dry quickly, whereas cotton holds it. The result: you stay drier and cooler, with less chafing over long distances.
T-shirt or tank top for running?
A t-shirt suits most conditions and protects your shoulders from the sun. A tank top is ideal in hot weather and for intense efforts, thanks to better ventilation and freedom of movement.
Are merino wool tops too warm for summer?
No. Merino wool regulates temperature: it keeps you warm in cool weather and stays breathable when it's hot. It also limits odour, a plus on long runs.
How do I avoid chafing while running?
Choose a technical top with flat seams that fits your build well. Avoid cotton, and apply an anti-chafe product to sensitive areas if needed.
How do I choose the right size?
Aim for a fitted but not tight cut that moves with you without restricting. Check each brand's size guide, as fits vary (2XU, for example, often runs slim).
How do I care for a technical running t-shirt?
Wash cold, skip fabric softener (it clogs breathable fibres), and air dry. This preserves the moisture-wicking properties and extends the garment's life.
