Running shirts – functional solutions for your run


A good running shirt can make a noticeable difference to your comfort and performance, whether you run short routes in the city or long distances in nature. Materials, fit and functional details play a crucial role in how your body regulates heat and moisture during exercise. In this article, you’ll get an overview of what to consider when choosing a running shirt, as well as a presentation of different types and brands that offer quality solutions for every runner.
The article presents a wide selection of running shirts representing different types, materials and price ranges. The goal is to provide an overview of the most important features and functions, so you can more easily find a model that suits your needs and preferences. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide an informative and neutral overview.
Factors to consider when buying a running shirt
When choosing a running shirt, it’s not just about appearance – functionality and comfort are crucial for a good running experience. Here are some of the most important factors to take into account.
1. Material and breathability
Most modern running shirts are made from synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, often combined with elastane for better freedom of movement. These materials wick sweat away from the body and dry quickly. For cooler days, you can choose a shirt with merino wool, which both insulates and naturally regulates temperature.
2. Fit and freedom of movement
A good running shirt should fit snugly without being tight. A close fit reduces the risk of chafing, while elastic panels allow free movement. Also consider the length of the sleeves and back – a slightly longer back can prevent the shirt from riding up while running.
3. Temperature and season
For summer running, lightweight, thin shirts with high breathability are ideal, while in winter you should choose models with insulating properties or the option for layering. Some running shirts have a wind-resistant front and ventilating back, providing flexibility in changing weather.
4. Visibility and safety
Reflective details are important if you run in the dark or in traffic. Many shirts have discreet reflective areas on the shoulders, back or sleeves, while other models have integrated reflective panels for increased visibility.
5. Care and durability
Running shirts must withstand frequent washing. Choose models that retain their fit and function after many cycles in the washing machine. Avoid fabric softener, as it can impair the material’s moisture-wicking properties.

Different types of running shirts
Running shirts come in many varieties designed for different needs, seasons and running styles. Here’s an overview of the most common types.
1. Short-sleeved running shirts
The classic model for summer use. Short-sleeved shirts are lightweight, breathable and ideal for warm days. They come in many materials and cuts, from tight performance models to more relaxed fits.
2. Long-sleeved running shirts
Perfect for cooler weather or as a mid-layer under a running jacket. Many long-sleeved shirts have thumbholes that keep the sleeves in place and provide extra warmth for the hands.
3. Compression shirts
These shirts fit tightly and support the muscles during running. They can improve blood circulation and reduce muscle fatigue, especially over longer distances. Compression shirts are often used as a base layer.
4. Thermal running shirts
For winter running, thermal shirts with insulating properties are a good choice. They retain warmth without becoming damp, and many models have a brushed interior for extra comfort.
5. Wind- and water-resistant shirts
Some running shirts combine the functions of a jacket and a shirt. They protect against wind and light rain while maintaining breathability. Ideal for unstable weather in the transitional seasons.
Different brands of running shirts
The market for running shirts is broad, and several well-known sports brands specialise in functional solutions for both recreational and experienced runners.
Nike
Nike offers a wide range of running shirts focusing on lightweight materials, sweat transport and modern design. Their Dri-FIT technology is popular for its ability to keep the body dry during exercise.
Adidas
Adidas combines classic sports style with technical materials such as AEROREADY, which effectively wicks away moisture. The brand offers both minimalist models and more advanced shirts for serious runners.
Asics
Asics is known for functional running shirts focusing on comfort and freedom of movement. Many models have reflective details and ergonomic seams that minimise the risk of irritation.
Craft
Craft specialises in technical sportswear for all weather conditions. Their running shirts are popular among Nordic runners for their high quality, good fit and ability to regulate temperature.
Under Armour
Under Armour offers running shirts focusing on performance and compression. Their materials are designed to keep the body dry and cool while providing support during training.
Frequently asked questions
What material is best for a running shirt?
Synthetic materials such as polyester and elastane are best for wicking away sweat and drying quickly. For cold days, merino wool can be a good choice, as it insulates and still feels comfortable when damp.
Should I choose a tight or loose running shirt?
It depends on your preference and running style. A tight shirt reduces friction and is ideal for competition and interval training, while a looser fit can feel more comfortable for easy runs.
How do I prevent my running shirt from smelling after washing?
Wash the shirt soon after use and avoid fabric softener. You can also use sports detergent developed to remove sweat bacteria and preserve the material’s properties.
Can I use the same running shirt all year round?
Yes, but it requires the layering principle. Use a lightweight shirt in summer and combine it with an insulating or wind-resistant layer in the cold months.
How long does a running shirt last?
Durability depends on use and washing, but a quality running shirt can usually last for several years. Avoid excessive use of the tumble dryer, as heat can damage the material.
