Guide Review - New Balance Half-Zip Shirt Review

I'm always looking for running clothes that can serve double-duty as exercise clothes and casual wear. This half-zip running shirt from New Balance definitely fits the bill. The designs on the shirt are cute and not over-the-top, but they definitely make the shirt stand apart from other similar long sleeve running shirt. The shirt is also very comfortable and has unique odor-fighting abilities, which means you can wear it for a run or to the gym and then head out to run errands without having to immediately change.
