ARIAT Breathe ¼ Zip Baselayer

I really like this top! Its cut and fit, especially across my shoulders, is spot on. The fabric is quite thin and light, so not for cold weather, but perfect for warm spring runs with its clever ability to move moisture away from your skin without becoming damp. It’s also not your normal boring design; the arms, shoulders and back have perforated panels and a geometric patterned detailing, which is unusual for most baselayers. This stylish top feels feminine and comes in three colours. The zipped collar is soft and the top is also odour resistant – always a bonus! Only small drawback is that price which is a bit top-heavy.
