running/sport shirts for long torsos

Postby k8 » Wed Mar 10, 2010 8:18 pm

Any suggestions on brands or shirts for people with longish torsos? I have a hard time finding workout or running wear that is long enough for me.. and I don't think I'm freakishly out of proportion. I am happy with a lulu runtech tank during the summer but long sleeved and short sleeved coolmax type shirts I have difficulty finding.

I was just thinking that LuLu stuff would work for you.

They have Run Swiftly Tech shirts in short sleeve and long sleeve.

I find lulu is the only ones that I have found long enough (so far). I am also long torso/short legs and most shirts ride up on me. I ended up with frostbite on my stomach one winter because of this. :?

the "loot" section on the lulu website has clearance stuff... keep an eye on it for deals. :)
