Sometimes I go running home.
It’s getting chilly here in Tokyo, and I put on icebreaker Cool-lite merino long tee. I’ve been running with it, but I was concerned about getting sweaty cold during the cool-down. Would wearing the Alpha solve this? Wouldn’t it be comfy? How would I actually feel? So, I just tested it out.
The temperature was 16°C. There was no “I really want to take it off!” feeling during the run. This is to be expected with its great breathability.
I ran for about an hour and then walked and kept wearing it for about 30 minutes. During that time, even though I would normally feel sweaty and cold, but I didn’t feel it. It was a bit warm and comfortable.
It was moderately warm.
By the way, I expect that the tee is wet, so the Alpha Direct have absorbed sweat. I just thought it’s particularly soaked the area covered with shoulder straps of a backpack. But I was so surprised that I found it was extremely dry. Didn’t polyester absorb sweat this much? Is it because wool absorbs it too much? I couldn’t understand a bit why it wasn’t wet.
I’m really excited to wear it in multiple situation because I can put on a vest or a jacket when it gets colder.
I ran into Aro, one of the crews from our photographing team and I asked her to take a picture of me being exhausted.
