Last fall, I started running – for the first time in my life. Running was something I said I could never do. But I was faced with needing to train for a trek in Bhutan and, with months of travel prior to that trip, I knew I couldn’t get to a gym on a regular basis. So, I needed to figure out a way to exercise where ever and whenever I could.
Running has opened up a new world of friends, conversations and the need for some new gear!
In the process of filling up my new “running drawer,” I discovered Howler Brothers and the Loggerhead Longsleeve Shirt.
This version of their popular men’s design is made of a quick drying polyester with UPF 45 sun protection. It features a feminine cut with a stand up collar and zipper neck. The sleeves have thumb holes (why this is my favorite feature I know not) and there’s a rear stash pocket for your keys and ID.
I happen to heart monkeys, so the fact that the Howler logo is a monkey, prominently displayed on the front, is bonus.
The shirt does all a workout shirt should do – it keeps me dry but also cool during my (now) 4-mile runs. I’m looking forward to some sunshine to test out the UPF 🙂
The Loggerhead comes in Aquamarine and Diamond (off-white). Available on the Howler Brothers site for $65.
Travel Well,
Beth
