[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A highly functional shirt for training or competition—undoubtedly designed for running—that allows for complete freedom of shoulder movement, moving naturally with you without restriction. It also features a color and cut that deliver style and personality.

The Long Wait is Over
Originally posted on New Balance US
About 10 years ago I found ultra thin NB tee-shirts that are sheer, moisture wicking, and feel like you are practically wearing nothing. Ever since I could not find anything similar. Well my search is over. These RC Essential shirts are actually lighter and the athletic fit is significantly better. I still have those other shirts, which is a testimony to NB endurance. I look forward to wearing these tee's for just as long.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shirt to run in lightweight and comfortable for training. The color pairing with the matching set is fire, honestly one of my favorite parts of this kit. Function and style both showing up here.

Love the colour and the overall fit. The fit around the shoulders is slightly off, but overall really like the training top. Will be getting some more!

Shirts look really beautiful. They fit nice and they’re comfortable, but they’re impossible to take care of. They have runners all over them and then a shirt looks bad.

Extremely lightweight, I prefer a slightly heavier material, but I love the color so I’ll keep it. Fit is also good.

This t-shirt offers a lot of comfort. It's light and absorbs the sweat easily. There should be more colors. It's worth investing in this product.
