Sporthill SS Synergy Mesh Top : So Hot You're Cool

My competitive sports days are long behind me, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate having the right gear for the job.

Sporthill's Synergy Mesh Top is a perfect piece of summer workout wear. Designed for use in 65 degree and warmer temps, it's lightweight, and its mesh back does a great job of wicking sweat off of my back. Whether I'm power walking on a hot day or pumping up my yoga practice with some weights, this short-sleeved top has become one of my favorites.

I like the raglan sleeves; they provide a more custom fit and don't bind like set-in sleeves can. So far, no chafing or rubbing so the flat seam construction is doing what it's supposed to do. I also like the fact that this top is not outrageously expensive.

Colors: mist, blue, red, white. Available in men's and women's sizes.

(Note: Please stay tuned. We'll be reviewing more Sporthill items for men and women in our June and July issues.)

Bottom Line: This lightweight top is comfortable, functional, and priced right.--E.D. (May '06)

Price: $35 (women's top), $38 (men's top)
