I am sweating quite a bit and I have been running for years in cheaper merino t-shirts all year long (mix of merino wool and synthetic materials). I have decided to order couple Ortovox 100% Merino t-shirts to give them a try.

I am hoping Ortovox t-shirts to absorb more sweat (mainly on my back) and to not feel the coldness which I feel in other t-shirts.

What is your material choice when it comes to running?

    for sure, not merino ortovox-whatever (is this spam? excuse me if it is not)

    you don’t want to absorb sweat, you want sweat to pass through your shirt and evaporate. Cheap light synthetic fibers do the job.

      Not meant to be spam.

      Well, while synthetic fibers do the job they do start to stink a lot even within the training which is not quite happening (a least not as much) with merino wool. And while combination of merino and synthetic works better than synthetic, I was hoping to ask if anyone uses 100% merino shirts for running.

        I just accept that my shirts will smell after a while 🤷‍♂️
