5 Best Fabrics For Running Tops: My Favorites

Running is a sport that requires a lot of physical effort and it makes you sweat a lot. I never used to be a big fan of running or any cardio exercises in general, so my interest in running clothes was zero.

Now that unfortunately, I gained some weight, I started considering cardio and realized that I didn’t have adequate clothing.

The T-shirts that I used to wear to exercise at the gym would get completely wet and during winter it resulted to be a huge problem.

This was when the purchase of adequate clothing was more than necessary and if you are in the same situation, I would recommend you take a look at the best materials for you.

Here is a list with 5 of my favorite materials:

the north face vs salomon urban cycling jackets

Urban cycling is our favorite activity. For both of us, it is a good way to exercise but also the best mean of transport. We banned the car for some time now and we are very happy with our choice.

On a bike you can reach any place in a very short time, you don’t have to struggle to find a parking spot, burn some calories, and give your small contribution to saving the world.

Of course, living in a flat terrain city like Tirana is a great advantage. However, not everything is a fairytale.

Nylon vs Polyester Leggings: Which is Better? Which Should You Choose?

I guess none of the readers of this article doesn’t have at least a pair of leggings.

The use of leggings has overcome its original purpose. As they were mainly used for exercise, now we see them worn more and more in everyday life. We can say that they have become a fashion trend.

Adidas vs Nike Running Shoes: Which Brand is Better?

Nike or Adidas? Today’s challenge is to answer this million-dollar question. You know, when I am at the mall or ordering online, I really cannot decide that easily between them, especially if it is the case of buying running shoes.

It is not necessary to talk about the importance and benefits of running shoes. We all use them for a reason, either to go running, training, or to go out.

We should feel lucky that trainers are even more IN now because they look so lovely even when worn with a suit. It has been a while now that the most influential fashion bloggers are “promoting” more and more running shoes.

Yes, everyone wants to be comfortable, but being comfortable and looking cool? This is the dream!

Nike and Adidas offer the design, quality, and comfort in most of their outdoor clothing and specifically in their running shoe collections.

To be honest, I have both of them and they are both very nice. But still, there are some slight differences between them, which I really want to share with you today.
