RBX Active Women’s Running T Shirt
Active is something we all know we should be. The problem is, some of us don’t have the motivation. Some don’t have the energy. Some don’t have the ability. And some just don’t have the proper clothing to keep them comfortable. This is where the RBX Active Women’s Running Tee comes in.
This lightweight, long-sleeve shirt will be able to go with you without weighing you down. You’ll also stay protected from some of the UV rays when you’re running outdoors. Because it is lightweight, it works great in the summertime. It can also be used for layering when the temperatures start to drop.
You can find comfort in the fact that it has a tagless design, saving your neck from an irritating itch. The sleeves are raglan style, allowing you a better range of motion from shoulder to wrist. The polyester material of the RBX Active Women’s Running Tee will help to keep you cool and dry by wicking away moisture and allowing it to evaporate.
This running tee comes in a wide variety of colors, each with three options for the neckline design. The options available for the neckline include crewneck, scoop neck, and V-neck. This shirt comes at a great price and some styles include free returns when ordered on Amazon.

Material
Because polyester isn’t absorbent, it is less susceptible to staining. It is breathable and provides moisture management by wicking moisture from your skin and allowing it evaporate out the other side. Keeping your skin dry will help keep your body temperature regulated.
Polyester does have negative qualities, as do all things. While it is durable, it is vulnerable to pulls and runs. When it gets wet, it sometimes tends to stick to the skin. Polyester is heat-sensitive and will become scorched or melt when exposed to too much. If you’re screenprinting, for example, you need to be extra careful with this fabric.
While polyester has a lot of great qualities, there is one that is a dealbreaker for some people. Polyester is not as soft as cotton. Therefore, some people with sensitive skin will want to steer away from it. You can also help combat sensitive skin by wearing a cotton bra.
Stretch
When you’re running, jumping, climbing, biking, etc, your clothes need to be moving right along with you. Nobody wants to be fussing with their sleeves or struggling to work around their baggy t-shirts. Instead, choose a more form-fitting shirt with stretch and let the shirt move with you.
When you’re active, every part of your body is moving. It only makes sense to have clothes that can allow your joints to move freely without getting in the way. Thanks to the stretch, the fabric of the RBX Active Women’s Running Tee will spread out, away from whatever part of your body is moving, whether it be your elbow or shoulder.
Tagless
Finally, companies began designing clothing with the “tag” printed directly onto the shirt material, eliminating the itch altogether. Such is the case with this running tee. It has a tagless design to help protect your skin and your mood from irritation.
No more fretting over thick, bulky tags. No more chafing or irritation. No more cutting. No more grinning and bearing it. Simply invest in this tagless running tee for a better experience all-around. If you can’t stand having tags in your bras either, check this one out.
Range of Motion
Instead, a raglan sleeve begins right at the collar. It then cuts diagonally to your underarm. It is made with one piece of material, which eliminates extra seams. It also follows the contours in your shoulder. The sleeve is designed in this way to allow it to give your upper arm more range of motion with less restriction.
This sleeve design is popular in sportswear, casualwear, and winter clothing. It is desired for the extra room, enhanced range of motion, and ease of getting on overtop of the shoulders. This sleeve design works great for layering clothes, especially if you need to be active with many layers on.
The drawbacks to the raglan sleeve design include underarm bulk and a less tailored fit. The underarm bulk is created by the excess material. When you have your arms down at your side, it may cause your underarms to appear bulky. Because the fit is less form-fitting, the level of comfort and maneuverability you experience will depend on your body shape, specifically your shoulders.
Moisture Management
This running tee is efficient at managing not only the moisture inside of your shirt but also your body temperature. Because it helps to control the moisture level, it is more capable of managing your body temperature. The polyester used to make this shirt, along with the X-Dri technology integrated into it, offer premium breathability and moisture control.
Polyester wicks the moisture away from your body. Instead of being absorbed into the material and leaving your shirt soaked, the moisture is evaporated. Polyester is breathable and dries quickly. This will keep you drier and your body temperature more regulated. If you’re going to be active and need waterproof protection, try a jacket over top of this shirt.
Colors
Instead of only offering three colors and forcing you to look elsewhere for your preference, RBX decided to give you more options. There are fifteen different colors available. They include black, black heather, grey, platinum grey combo, green, fall mix green, light blue, light pink, pink, pink flame, dark pink, light purple, purple, gym purple, and gym red.
Versatility
That’s right, you don’t have to limit yourself to running when you wear this shirt. Yes, it is designed for running, but that doesn’t mean you can’t wear it for whatever you want. Because of the flattering fit, beautiful color schemes, and varying necklines, you can wear this shirt to almost any casual occasion.
This running tee is perfect for sports like golf, basketball, and running. It’s also wonderful for fishing, boating, traveling, and hiking. Because it’s lightweight and offers a better range of motion, it’s easier to perform at your best ability. If you need the motivation to get moving, try these workout DVDs.
Lightweight
The lightweight design will keep you from becoming weighed down, especially during workouts. Because the polyester doesn’t absorb moisture but gets rid of it, your shirt won’t become saturated and heavy. It will be less likely to irritate your skin because it will fit more loosely.
This lightweight and long-sleeved running tee is great for layering. If you’re going to be out during a cloudy day, rainy day, or in the evening when the temperature drops, you’ll be thankful to have layers to add to this shirt. When you are in better conditions, simply take the layers back off and you’re left with your lightweight, comfortable shirt.

Verdict
Customers also report that it is convenient to layer warmer clothing on top of this shirt when it gets chilly. It’s equally convenient to take the layers off and be back to the comfortable, lightweight running tee. However, it was not only good things that people had to say.
It is expected to have differing opinions when it comes to anything. This shirt is no different. Some consumers have reported that they did not love the depth of the scoop neck and V-neck styles. For them, they were cut too low to be comfortable, especially for exercise.
Some women have also claimed that they have issues finding the right size. Most of these women ordered based on what size they typically wear. While this method may work sometimes, it’s not reliable and shouldn’t be used when ordering clothes online. To save yourself time and trouble, look at the size chart and take your measurements before purchasing.
Bottom Line
This shirt is stretchy, has an increased range of motion in the arms, is breathable, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, versatile, lightweight, and comes in many color schemes and varied neckline designs.
The RBX Active Women’s Running Tee is also offered at a great price and, when ordered on Amazon, includes free returns (on certain sizes and colors). If it sounds like it’d be the perfect shirt for you, there’s no reason to wait to try it. Who knows? It may come to be your next favorite wardrobe item.
