specific
comments regarding # 5: |
|
| wicking |
- it didn't wick enough - the fabric became clammy during snowshoeing,
and stuck to my skin. Not a pleasant shirt to wear as an underlayer during
winter sports
- Personel preferance is a cotton green shirt as I'm not a
runner and don't require the extra high tech type of body fabric that most of
your club might prefer for long runs.
- Fabulous shirt,comfie and quick
drying. Plus the colour was so distinctive it was easy to spot and cheer for
another Fat Asser! |
| Chafing |
- an excellent material and not as tough on the nipples!
- For long
runs, up to marathon, it rubbed more than some others of softer material (sore
nipples).
- two words: nipple irritation. The fabric is too rough on the
inside and if I wear my GAIA shirt for runs longer than 30 minutes I feel it. No
other technical shirt I use has this problem (Sugoi). Also I find the neck hole
a bit larger than others which means the strap of my hydration pack is in
contact with the collar, and worse, rubbing on the skin of my neck.
- I had
problems with chaffing the first few times I wore it but after half a dozen
washes it was fine. |
| Sizing |
- I really liked the quality and look but I found that the sizing on last
year's T-shirt was on the small side and the cut of the shirt just didn't feel
right. I found it to be uncomfortable to wear (even after losing weight) and
therefore never have worn it out anywhere. If I had seen them before ordering I
would have definitely ordered a man's shirt as they appeared to have a better
cut.
- Sizing - perfect ! Quality - rated 4 out of 5 , not as much give as
other brands. I wanted to add that I was injured since January and now just
coming back . I wore my shirt mostly to the gym , plus a few light
jogs.....
- nice light weight material; only downsize is it snagged easily.
The women's shirt sizes were on the small side (this is mentioned on the
website), but it be easier to just deal with on sizing for all.
- quality
was good but I thought the large size was larger than large so it makes a good
nightgown if you know what I mean.
- quality of material good, red good, very
small sizing was problem |
| Screening |
- The shirt itself was very nice. But the screening was poor quality -
most of it is peeling off. Can we go with embroidery next time?
- Good
quality shirt. Just one issue with white text on back comings off partially.
Perhaps just a single bad batch. |
| Material |
- good quality, pills and snags a bit, but for the price...
- I don't
like the Gaia name on the front of the neck.I think it makes the shirt look a
bit backwards.It should be on the back or somewhere else.
- Fabric has runs
after only wearing it a few times.
- But I found the terri-clothe front panel
to be a bit heavy (never used it for what it was designed for.
- Very easily
snagged and pulled, i.e. by velcro in the washing machine. Otherwise it's
holding in there
- I liked the material it was nice and light for hot days
and racing. But also kept me warm on the cold days. I did notice that it got
sags before I ever wore it in the woods?
- Only thing is that the material is
not a stretchy as I'd like as when it gets overly stretched in a particular
area, it doesn't come back. |
| General |
- Material seems excellent. No problems whatsoever.
- Love
it!
Worked well for me.
- not sure if they are local, maybe good to go
with a group that supports trail running etc, like bone-dri, sugoi?
- I much
prefer the bone-dri line of clothing
- It's my favourite shirt in terms of
its feel-- the only reason I don't wear it more often is that I find the slogan
a little "in your face" |

11. Do you
have any other suggestions regarding the club colours |
- add reflective
stripes (2)
- Patagonia brand
- Long sleeve (1)
- Different colour each
year is nice
- Not light blue with white
- Light colours go better with
different
skin tones
- Keep it distinctive (don’t go for black)
-
Overseas members should have the chapter country added to the shirt on the
back
- always the same shirt and colour, only for new members, not for
renewing members
- multi coloured
-let 2005 be the year of the
goths |
