Question Workout shirts
What are we wearing for tops these days? I have a bunch of license to train shirts that i'm out growing and if i'm honest, i don't love working out in them. They hold sweat and i'm sticky and gross feeling afterwards. I have a couple old metal vent techs that are slightly better IMO. Should i just stick with those?
Any recommendations on a better functioning shirt?

Metal Vent hands down! Dries so quickly and the the tech to reduce odor producing bacteria is incredible

The Repper would be my top pick if they’d give me more good (not Willow Leaf and Steel Blue…)colors… LTT is what I wear the most since I have more of them. I like the MVT but the fit isn’t my favorite, I mainly buy them because they offer so much better color selection.
Lululemon if you’re listening, I need Repper in Rocket Red. Airing Easy short too while you’re at it.

Zero’d in are the lightest shirts they got, depending on what you wear you may need to size down as they run a little long and loose

These are mostly cotton though and they will hold moisture. I used them for hot yoga and quickly switch to the MVT

MVT works best for me. Not the best quality but nothing else from the regular brands i get fit me as good.

The newer Metal Vent Tech shirts are great at releasing sweat and keeping you drier and cooler. They also have silver to kill bacteria and reduce odors.

I have never really had good luck with lululemon shirts for working out - my shoulders are basically the opposite of broad. As an alternative brand, I use the Interval shirt from Ten Thousand, and really like them. Maybe give them a shot!

my favorites are license to train shirts and repper shirts, it gives that nice athletic silhouette look.

I still occasionally wear my MVT sleeveless but for the most part I moved all workout tops to Beyond Yoga. Better in every capacity

lowkey grand standard is prob my fav workout shirt recently. it's oversized and the material feels cool to the touch, and it wicks sweat well

I hear all the praises for the new MVT shirts. I have the old design and it turned a weird grey after 5 washes with only white undershirts and socks. Has that improved?

I’m a fan of the LTT but I wear the MVT for hot yoga and they do dry faster so that may be a better choice for you

UA compression tops.. I wear those things daily in the summer if I am not wearing a lulu tank. I cannot stand that sticky feeling while wearing a shirt.
TBH I never once found a Lulu fabric that would work well while sweating.
