A little too sheer. Will easily snag. By GettingBackInShape from Tampa, FL on 03/21/2009 Pros: Allows Free Movement, Breathable, Comfortable, Lightweight, Soft Cons: Fabric Snags Too Easily, Fabric Too Sheer, Not durable Best Uses: Casual Wear, Gym, Running, Warm Weather, Yoga Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser Bottom Line: No, I would not 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. When I tried it on, the first thing I noticed was the armholes were way too large. While the fabric is lightweight and breathable, it has a strong tendency to snag. I would not describe it as durable. In addition, the fabric is a bit too sheer for my taste.
I ordered this New Balance XL shirt at the same time I ordered another, different New Balance XL workout shirt (the New Balance Speed Tank Top Item #1103X). The other one, though similarly styled, has smaller, better-sized armholes. It has a similar fabric, the "lightning dry mesh," but the fabric consistency on the Speed Tank Top seems slightly stronger and more durable.
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. However, the armholes are too big, which for me spoiled the fit.
I am sending this one back. Although the fabric is soft and very breathable, I feel the armholes are way too big, and I do not believe the fabric will hold up over time. A shame, because the fabric is extremely soft, lightweight and breathable. If only they would have made the fabric more durable.
I wonder if this durability issue specifically relates to the white lightning dry mesh, versus other colors of this lightning dry mesh, or if it relates to the fabric make-up of this particular shirt. The other shirt I ordered with blue lightning dry mesh (different style) seems a little more durable in the places with lightning dry mesh.
