Brooks Race Day shirts - feedback
I think the material of the shirts is great, I've learned to size up and the fit is better, but even still I've been selling the shirts almost immediately for two reasons:
Short sleeves > long sleeves. (for me). I only wear long sleeves during winter training. If I were going to keep the shirts I'd have to either cut them into sleeveless tanks or hem into short sleeves.
The gigantic plastic-feeling logos on the front are just non-breathable and make them pretty uncomfortable.
I did my first events last year for halloween races, and then wine & dine races. I ran every distance offered for both and the biggest gripe is the plastic logos. I like the designs, but wish they were just higher quality screen prints vs heat transfers.
Unless there's some special way to break these things down and make them more comfortable. I've considered getting a leather punch and doing the whole "moth tech" approach to them, but I can usually post them for sale in a facebook group and that funds a dole whip or churro.
Secondary feedback -I would love to opt for disney branded running socks instead of the shirts. I think some brooks, feetures, swiftwick, or balega socks would be amazing. (Or headbands, or a running hat).
Im running my first marathon (and to be extra crazy, Im doing dopey) in 2027 - but hoping it's a blast and I can get into 2028 as well. Will see some of you there!
