Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $12.99 Great for: Lifting in or any novelty run/5k. The good: It is super inexpensive and light. The bad: It isn't as soft as other lifting and training shirts. Also, the stitching comes apart after a while. Rating Variety/Appearance: 7/10. The design isn't the prettiest but it has a decent amount of options to choose from and is otherwise a nice looking tank top. Feel/Comfort: 7/10. I've had softer shorts and I've had rougher shirts, this falls smack dab in the middle. Quality/Durability: 8/10. I actually bought this for a mud run expecting to throw it away right after. To my surprise the shirt held up and washed out fine, it wasn't until about 9 months to a year later that the stitching around the bottom started to unravel. Value: 7/10. It isn't nearly as long lasting as some shirts (the Under Armour Tech Shirt for example) but it also costs about half as much. Theoretically, you get slightly more time (and comfort) out of one more expensive shirt instead of 2 inexpensive shirts. Other: 10/10. Being able to buy 2 of these shirts instead of 1 of another brand really gives you convenience and a lot of options. First, you get twice as many lifts in before having to do laundry. Also, you can get multiple colors so you can always be matching. And lastly, if you manage to ruin your shirt somehow it isn't that big of a deal because you have a backup and it is cheap to replace. Overall: 39/50. Verdict: I really enjoy using these shirts for training. The price and convenience really have me sold on the C9 techs. Comments are closed.

About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
