Flattering, light weight, unique style and color, washes well. LOVE it!! Not sure how durable the material will be, though. As it is very light. Seems like it would snag easily.

Love the weight of this shirt By ad from Princeton Junction, NJ on 05/25/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Stylish Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have this shirt in every color (three of them) and the shorts to match. It looks and feels great. I am very particular with my shirts.I hate anything that is restricting. The shirt is longer as well, which isn't something I look for, because I am short. I am also muscular and still purchased a small.
Nice shirt if you don't mind see through By Jane from Utah on 04/19/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight Best Uses: Running, Yoga/Dance Describe Yourself: Conditioning Exerciser Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This shirt is quite nice, I ordered the white /orange, however the fabric is quite see through, which is fine if are like me and not too bothered, as I always wear a decent sports bra. It is light and will be great for running on those hot days. If you dare to bear this is great. I am a small or size 4 and this shirt has movement in the small.
Overall good, flattering fit By GettingBackInShape from Tampa, FL on 03/21/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Flattering color pattern, Lightweight, Overall durability, Soft fabric, Stylish Cons: Armholes slightly big, LightningDry durability Best Uses: Gym, Running, Warm Weather, Yoga/Dance Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the XL for my size 40B chest to wear to the gym for the treadmill and recumbent bike. The armholes are slightly too large, enough to give me pause, but I will probably keep the shirt. The fabric consists of a couple of different types of fabrics and patterns. The most delicate of the fabrics on this shirt is the "lightning dry mesh." In the blue one I received, the lightning dry mesh fabric seemed stronger than the "lightning dry mesh" in a different New Balance tank I received in the same order, the white New Balance Tempo Tank, which I am not keeping.
The fabrics were woven in this shirt in such a way as to create flattering lines on a woman's body, even if she does not have a perfect body. This is a big plus for me, as it is hard to find workout tops for women who have some weight to lose.
As for the fit, I have some extra inches around my middle. This shirt is a good fit for me in the waist and hips. Even the bust was a good fit. The shirt is not too tight, which I like. The armholes are slightly large, but overall the fit is good for me.
This is not for someone who wants a workout top that is skin tight and form-fitting. This top is good for those who may have a few extra inches and want to look good at the gym and still have something to wear to the gym that is flattering and looks like gym wear. However, I wear the XL, so if you wear a smaller size it may look different on you.
Note that this top does not include a shelf bra and does not have support. You will need to wear a workout bra with it.
I will probably be keeping this top. I just need to decide about the armholes, but I think they are probably okay. I wish this top was offered in the same proportions in a tank top. I also wish the armholes were slightly smaller.
