Caught in the rain

Last weekend, we bought a long sleeved wicking shirt from REI for the triathlon coming up on May 27th. The shirt is a terrific color- clear sky and I needed to test it out before the big day so today I put it to the test.
This morning I went for a quick 3 mile run in the shirt- it was good weather a little crisp so the long sleeves kept me warm. It held up well. The wicking material kept me cool as it got sunnier.
I went out later in the day and did another 3 mile run but this time got caught in the rain. The shirt rocked. When I started out, it was warm and the shirt kept me cool, as I started running about halfway into the run, I got drenched, the shirt kept me warm and wasn't heavy at all.
If you like running, playing outside, or like wearing comfortable clothes, buy this shirt. It's the Women's REI OXT TECH TEE at REI. The tag says superb wicking and dries fast- so true. Whenever I need any new shirts- I'll buy this brand. Go here to see it: terrific shirt
