I've worn this style of Coolmax t-shirt from New Balance for years. The soft fabric wicks away sweat. The sleeves are just the right length to help prevent sunburn yet not get in the way of vigorous arm motion. The shirt is made of a UV-filtering fabric for an SPF of 20. They have also added reflective trim for night safety.

8. One More Mile Shirts

One More Mile has fun designs and slogans on shirts made of soft, sweat-wicking fabric. Unfortunately, they change slogans over time and did away with my favorite, "Walkaholic." If you see one you love, snap it up. At a recent marathon expo I spied this "I Know, I Know, I'm Almost There," which is what everybody tells you in the last mile of a race. Also seen, "I'm not slow, I'm just getting my money's worth from the entry fee," "26.2 miles - what could possibly go wrong?" It's fun just to browse and laugh.
9. Sub-4 Shirts and Tanks
