Kit test - asics running

15/3/2017

Those kinds folks at Millet Sports recently asked if I would test and review some Asics running gear for them. They sent me 2 items, the Asics 2-in-1 Men's Running Shorts and the Asics Long Sleeved Seamless Top.

​I've been testing both for a couple of weeks and first impressions....very nice.

The shorts have a relatively long inner which feels close fitting but comfortable. The best thing for me was the lack of long labels that couldn't be removed, they are really a pain aren't they!? The shorts felt good and also have a couple of handy pockets, one with a zip so you don't lose your house key down a drain somewhere! I went out on a relatively warm day and didn't have any 'issues' caused by sweat which is always a bonus.

The top is seamless...literally! It's fits well and is super comfy. Again, no annoying labels scratching away which is appreciated. I was worried about overheating in this top but it's claim of being able to maintain 'optimal body temperature' actually works, I felt good throughout my run and had no problems at all. 

Conclusion...if you are looking for some good, versatile kit that will work well in the hills as much as it will on the roads, then this is worth your money. Really comfortable and does what it claims to do, which isn't always the case is it!?
