I'm a Swirlgear Ambassador

Ready To Swirl

I was doing an online search for bright and cheerful running apparel and stumbled upon Swirlgear. I loved their bright colors and cut, and jumped in on the amazing opportunity to become and Ambassador after reading how the company came to fruition.  I was fortunate enough to be accepted and placed an order right away. As soon as my beautiful bright yellow long sleeved shirt (small) and black shorts arrived (medium), I decided to put them to a running test.

So how was the performance of my Swirlgear apparel? Impressive! The length of the shirt is longer than any running shirt I've owned (length goes below my natural waistline), and that's a plus because the fact that it did not ride up kept my non-washboard abs hidden from the wind. While I prefer thumbholes, I found the length of the shirt to be efficient enough to keep my hands hidden without getting in the way of my arm motion. The material was soft (Polyester with mix of Spandex) and I did not find any specific areas that itched, scratched or rubbed against my skin. The stitching is flat, the tag is on the bottom left so it does not get in the way, and the logo in the back of the shirt is reflective, which is very useful during night runs. Plus, the colors and "swirls" are completely unique and bright, a deviation from the run of the mill blacks, grays, and navy.

One of my biggest pet peeves are short with creepy inseams. You know, the kind of shorts where they ride up in the middle and you have to constantly pause during your run to pull them out from in between your legs. I definitely did not have that problem with my shorts. Overall, I was highly satisfied and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in venturing out of the norm brands and trying out new apparel made by a company owned and managed by running women.
