Price: $30.00

(Asics.com)

This review is for the women's version of this shirt - it is also available for men. I have this shirt in purple and in a medium.

Specs:

• Wicking technology
• Due to the light, textured mesh material of the shirt
• Flatlock stitching
• Flat seams - feels like there is no stitching, resulting in zero friction on your skin
• Tailored fit for the body 
• Asics Atomic Wash technology
• Retro-Reflectivity Technology
• Shirt reflects light so you are easier to detect in the darker hours

Used:

• Cycling (30 minutes)
• Weighlifting sessions (upperbody/back and lowebody workouts)
• Walking (30 minutes)
• Running (4 miles)
   

Pros:

• Lightweight material and stitching style make it super comfortable
• Moves with your body
• Wicks away sweat efficiently
• Reflective technology
• I believe that this really works and they've done it in a non-intrusive way

Cons:

• Is not meant to keep you warm and insulated - you'll need to layer
• Material can catch on things and results in pulls in the fabric
• Few color options

I knew the Asics Core long sleeve shirt was going to be a great product when I touched it in the store - the moisture wicking material on this shirt is of very high quality and it definitely felt different than other products I've tried.

The best way I can describe the feel of the material is that it is something between the material of the Adidas Tech Fit material and Under Armour heat gear. The fit is actually flattering, which makes me love wearing it because I can workout hard and still look good. A bonus is that I can roll the sleeves up a little and it stays in place.

Verdict: I love this shirt. The only color that they currently offer at the time of this review is purple. It is a pastel type of purple that is perfect for the colder months ahead. If you have a sport person in your life and are wondering what to get them, you should consider this shirt because it is wonderful performance at a competitive price.
