Men's T-shirts and running tops

To stay dry while running, start with the top: it's the piece that works the hardest when you sweat. These men's running t-shirts and tops, available in short or long sleeves, wick away moisture and dry quickly, from a gentle jog to intervals, and can be layered comfortably when the cold arrives.

Why choose a technical top instead of a cotton t-shirt

A running top is made from a synthetic or blended material that wicks sweat away and dries quickly. Cotton, on the other hand, absorbs moisture and feels heavy and cold on the skin. The difference is noticeable right from the first longer run, especially when the wind picks up after the effort. Flat seams and ventilated areas under the arms or on the back, found on many tops, add comfort during long sessions.

Short sleeves, long sleeves or half zip

A short-sleeved top is the choice for the warm season and intense sessions. Long sleeves take over when the temperature drops, either on their own or under a jacket. Half-zip models allow for ventilation when unzipped, which is handy when you start to warm up during your run. In terms of fit, a snug top minimizes rubbing and can be worn under an additional layer.

Men's running top brands

adidas offers the widest choice, with Adizero tops for fast sessions and simpler tops for training. Dare 2B dresses runners for outdoor runs with technical t-shirts. Joma, Endurance, Mizuno, and Puma complete the range, from light tops to long-sleeve options. The filters distinguish between tops and t-shirts and sort models by sleeve length, to help you quickly find the right top for you.

Completing your outfit from top to bottom

Your top pairs well with a model from the shorts page for summer, or with the leggings and trousers page when it's cool. In bad weather, add a layer from the jackets and windbreakers. The rest of the outfit, from socks to beanies, can be found in the men’s running textile and the men’s textile page.

Frequently asked questions

What size running top should I choose?

Stick to your usual size for a snug fit. If you want to layer underneath or prefer more room, go up a size. A top that is too loose floats in the wind and rubs more under the arms.

How should I wash a technical t-shirt?

At a low temperature and without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres and reduces sweat wicking. Let it dry in the open air rather than using a tumble dryer.

Is a long-sleeve top enough in winter?

In dry and not too cold weather, yes. When it’s freezing or windy, add a windbreaker on top.

Why does my running t-shirt retain smells?

Synthetic fibres tend to hold onto sweat smells. Air it out as soon as you finish your run, avoid leaving it crumpled up at the bottom of your bag, and wash it after each use.
