Loovve it!!
October 19, 2011
I just recently purchased this sweatshirt in blue glow. The color is a bright, brilliant blue color that I am absolutely in love with. I am 5'2 and about 135 lbs. I ordered this sweatshirt in a small and it fits comfortably but is a bit fitted. I like my running gear to be more fitted than loose so I ordered a size smaller than I typically would so that I wouldn't be drowning while running. The material is very soft and the interior lining is an incredibly soft fleece and is very warm and cozy. This sweatshirt is perfect for colder weather runs but would be a bit too warm for lightly chilly weather. The make and design of this sweatshirt is very stylish and I loovve the thumbholes!! GREAT purchase for an avid runner who plans to run during the colder winter season!
Pretty Cold for a 'Thermal'

I also ordered this top in Blue Glow. Great color. Nice long sleeves with thumb holes. However, I bought this top as a layering piece to help keep me warm running and cross-country skiing in Michigan. Bottom line: this top is cold. I'm 5'8", 150lbs., and ordered a size Large. The cut at bottom of shirt scoops out, allowing cold air in from bottom. Because of the extra fabric at the bottom -- good for women with broader hips? -- it gathered and stuck out like a ruffle from under my hard shell. (Very weird looking.) Lastly, for a top described as 'thermal', the flocking inside is incredibly thin. The fabric itself looks like it should be thick and cozy, but it also is surprisingly thin. Sent it back to get something warmer and less drafty.
Pros: color, sleeves, reflective, hoody-collar system, Cons: weird cut at bottom, drafty, not very 'thermal'Nike Women's Element Thermal Hoody Photo
