Thanks for joining us on another edition of Trail Runner Nation Gear Review. I'm Scott Warren and I'm Don Freeman. And today I'm excited to share with you my enthusiasm for the Solomon X-O, EXO motion zip T.

Ah, the shirt that you've been sporting around lately. I happen, weren't it? I mean, when you wear it, five straight consecutive runs, and you wash them in between, so you can wear it again. Oh, you did wash it? Yeah, I washed it. Oh, okay. Well, that's good. When you handed it to me, Scott, when it showed up, and you handed to me a shirt, it looked like it was for a 12 year old or smaller.

It looked pretty small. I handed it to me, Scott, when it showed up. You handed to me a shirt. It was, it looked like something,

it looked like it was for a 12 year old or smaller.

It looked pretty small.

I remember you looking and I go, there's no way I'm fitting in that shirt. And then you tried it on and as I recall, you went, oh yeah, this is the shirt I'm gonna wear at Western States. But yeah, that's because that's what I was thinking.

The thing is made out of so many different materials.

We'll link the website directly to this podcast, but this gear review. And I've got to tell you, they put some technology in this because there's a lot of compression shirts out there and it seems like it's just that tight fabric and it compresses everywhere. But this is compressive but it compresses in the ways that you move in its dynamic. And it's resilient, it opens, it closes, it stretches the way that your body moves in that particular motion. More importantly, does it make you look buffer than you really are? Well, as in most compressive things, they do try to squeeze in the parts that

need to be squawed and then accentuate the parts that need to be accentuated. So now I do have one question for you. I know that you're not a fan of the zipper. Mm-hmm. Honest on a technical t-shirt. What, how did you feel about the zipper? Well, you know, it doesn't ride like a zipper. It goes up top but it doesn't you know chafe or or give you issues where where it is

that the main issue with the zipper. Well, you know, it doesn't ride like a zipper. It goes up top, but it doesn't,

you know, chafer or give you issues where it is at the same time. Is that the same issue with

zippers as chafage? Yeah, and, and, you know, I mean, this is zipper. I get some zipper on my pants, but I don't know if I need a zipper on my shirt. Okay. But, but no issues with that. In fact, It got warmer. I kind of appreciated the zipper because I kind of you know put it on down

I got a little extra air in there and that was that was appreciated. So good stuff

Um as far as with that in fact has it got warmer. I kind of appreciate the zipper because I kind of put it on down. I got a little extra air in there.

That was appreciated.

So good stuff.

As far as the size, it's a medium for me,

and it fit.

So true to size?

Well, so you look at it.

It's not true to size,

but when it gets on, it's true to size.
