Features:
-100% Polyester fabric
-MIzuno Quickdry Plus technology
-Reflective Mizuno Logo on front
-Reflective “Quickdry Plus” logo on front
-Two small reflective triangular shapes on back
-Stitched pieces of fabric (black) in cuffs and bottom of shirt
Pros:
-Lightweight
-Visually attractive colour scheme / pattern of Red / Black / Silver ( I may be a bit bias as red is my favourite colour- also black and silver go well with red)
-Combination of Red shirt and reflective areas are good for visibility during night runs
-Breathable
-Worked well as first layer under a breathable jacket in 0 ˚C weather
-Stitched black pieces in cuff hold the shape and may prevent stretching of cuff
-Stitched black pieces improve the shirt’s aesthetic qualities and selling features – it shows that the designer’s attention to detail as these pieces could have been left out but I think if these pieces were not included, the value of the shirt in the view of the consumer would be reduced
Cons:
-Reflective “Quickdry Plus” on front becomes “not visible” if you tuck in the shirt which I would normally do in most running situations; especially in cool weather since this would be my “inner layer” and a jacket would be worn over top
-No reflective sections on arms- Reflective areas on moving parts of running equipment may enable drivers to see you more easily at night
-More reflective areas could be added on front and back but not too much to cause shirt to loose it’s aesthetic appeal
