If you’re looking for a performance-driven workout T-shirt that’ll handle your toughest sessions, the Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Short Sleeve Shirt should be on your radar.
Get the right workout footwear with the best gym shoes
Designed for running and general training – and made with Lululemon’s signature Metal Vent Tech fabric – this is one of the best sweat-wickers we tested. It stays cool and comfortable for virtually every session, from boot-camp body workouts to long, slow runs.
Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Tee features
The fit is good and it’s instantly comfy the moment you put it on. Unlike some tees that can get clingy, this skims the body from chest to waist so it’s slim-fitting without feeling too tight. That gives you a little more room and freedom of movement in the chest – and some welcome wobble room around the belly.
The Lululemon tee won’t hinder your range of motion and it’s cut slightly longer in the back for better coverage when you’re smashing out squats and deadlifts. It’s also virtually seamless so there’s no nasty rubbing.
Pair your new tee with one of the best shorts for men
The mix of nylon, recycled polyester, elastane and X-Static nylon is soft, smooth and stretchy with plenty of flex. It’s breathable and lightweight, so you won’t feel weighed down, with mesh panels from the armpits to the love handles, as well as on the sleeves and chest, to boost air flow.
This is a ideal choice for workouts in warmer weather or if you run hot when you’re moving up through the training gears.
Anti-odour silver technology embedded into the fabric aims to kill off whiff-causing bacteria. So theoretically you can wear this shirt multiple times without worrying about stinking out your fellow gym-goers. In reality, that’ll depend a lot on how sweaty your last workout got.
Want something longer? These are the best sweatpants
The Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Tee comes in a large range of 14 different colours, as well as six sizes from XS to XXL. It also has reflective detailing to help boost visibility and keep you safer when you’re running or cycling on dark winter nights.
