The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

While it’s billed as a trail running shirt, the Cormac crew is my new go-to any time I’ll be working up a sweat. The knock against some engineered fabrics is comfort next to skin, but this knitted polyester’s 3.7 ounces nearly melt away on the body, as it did during a recent bike tour. It pulls sweat off the body and it dries pretty quickly, too, so you won’t get that clammy feeling. The hand is very soft, and the way the panels are stitched together, it doesn’t restrict movement. While it’s a technical top, the design doesn’t scream that so it’s a discrete option for the bike, trails, or the gym.  — Sal Vaglica, Senior Editor
