What material should running shirts ideally be made from?

Running shirts should ideally be made from functional, synthetic materials like polyester or polyamide, which are breathable and quickly wick moisture away from your body. This way, you stay nice and dry even during intense runs. A bit of stretch also gives you great freedom of movement and comfort. In summer, lightweight, quick-drying fabrics are super important, while materials with warming structures or merino wool are perfect for cooler temperatures.

Are there special running shirts for summer/winter?

In summer, lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying shirts are important, which quickly wick away sweat and ensure good air circulation. They keep the body cool and dry. Winter requires running shirts made from warmer, insulating material, which also transports moisture away from the body to avoid overheating and cold.
