As a hard-to-fit bra size, sports bras that fit and support well are very hard for me to find. As a long distance runner, I can't compromise on support. In a British study of female marathon runners, 1 in 3 women reported experiencing breast pain during running. I've unfortunately experienced it, too. With the right bra, breast pain shouldn't be an issue. Finding a bra that's durable, supportive, ...

Arc’teryx Kyanite Fleece Hoody Review
I hardly ever go anywhere without a jacket, and a good fleece is worth its weight in gold. I most often wear my fleeces for casual around town use, hiking, and around camp. Here's my review of Arc'teryx's fleece mid-layer, the Kyanite hoody. This is the jacket that was formerly known as the Kyanite AR. Sizing and Fit I'm wearing this jacket in size XS.

Speed Up Shorts Pockets, Features, and Fabric The ...

If you prefer, I wrote fully detailed review of each previously: you can read about the groove pants here and the elation flares here. This post is more abbreviated and focuses on the differences ...
Athleta Ultimate Stash Tight II Review
As a distance runner, tights that really feel good and go the distance are harder to find than they should be. As I've worn through some of my older pairs, I've especially been looking for running tights with good pocket options. When I tried Athleta's original ultimate stash tight, I was not impressed at all. The pockets were very awkward and it didn't fit me well. I was bummed because most of ...
