I hate that name but I couldn't think of what they're actually called. I've taken up boxing 5 times a week and running once a week on Saturday. I was burning through T shirts to the extent I was running out of clothes so I got one of these instead. It doesn't get covered in sweat as much, keeps me cooler and is quick to dry after the wash. Now personally I hate the white vest looking ones. The one I have is dark blue and mainly for exercise.
I've taken to wearing it outside the gym because, well, it's summer, and also maybe because it honestly feels good to show off some of that work from the gym. Now I've heard some people say that men shouldn't wear them, and a quick google search seems to suggest most people agree with that.
The thing is I've definitely been getting more looks off women as of late, so I don't know what all those people are thinking when they say women don't like them because I'm seeing benefits. Also people in the past who have always assumed I'm just some tall skinny guy have actually started to notice I'm fairly muscular, which makes a nice change. Someone who laughed at me when I told them I wanted to box actually took it back after seeing I was actually in good shape, which was nice.
