    sleeveless running shirts... what do you wear?

    So a few years back I found this awesom sleeveless running shirt from Nike... with a reflective band on it, I loved it!! I bought like four of them. I have no idea what happened to two of them, but I am down to two now They no longer make this shirt, and I am in need of some more for the summer.

    However, I like my shirts to be long and cover alot of 'upper' area. I'm not big into strappy types shirts.

    Just thought I'd see what you girls wear, maybe I can find some good ideas for a new one, thanks

    I recently found a great sleeveless shirt at Target for ~$12. Normally, sleeveless tanks don't fit me right through the chest, but this one's perfect and it's long too.

    I know EXACTLY which Nike shirt you're speaking of...as I have 3 of them myself. The material is buttery soft, and the reflective band is on one shoulder right? If this is the shirt, then yes I too am very sad that Nike is no longer making it. It's a great shirt...I wear it all the time at the gym. But mine are starting to get a little "funky" smelling, and I was hoping to find a good replacement. Haven't been able to find anything quite as nice, but I did pick up a few Under Armour sleeveless tops at Sports Authority. I have to choose UA stuff carefully though, because a lot of their tops are too form-fitting for my taste...so I usually buy the largest size available for a looser fit. I also used to have a bunch of sleeveless workout tops from Russell, but it seems as though they have stopped making those as well...either that or SA stopped carrying them. I find the C9 brand at Target to fit a little too snugly, so I generally avoid those....but you might not have that issue.

    nsr, that's it!!, LOL!! I love that shirt!! I know the two I have left are getting dingy looking too... arrggh. It seemed like they quit selling it right away. I remember looking soon after I bought the four, and I couldn't find them.

    If I find a nice replacement I will let you know. I saw a girl running the other day with what looked to be a cool one... I wanted to ask her what brand it was, but I didn't want to interrupt her run on the treadmill, I'll soon be known as the "stalker shirt questioning woman at the gym", LOL!

    For years Target/C9 made a "long & lean" tank that I adored...I think I ended up with 6 of them. They were simple and didn't have that worthless shelf bra ('m a D...I need a real bra and I don't need that extra layer of shelf bra on top of my real bra). They have something different, now, but it looks similar.
