Saucony Womens Strider Tank & P.E. Short Review

Since, getting this outfit a few months ago from Saucony, it has definitely become one of my favorites.  Personally, my favorite running outfit is a tank top and pair of capris, but if I am looking for shorts then this is definitely in the running.

The Strider tank is a great piece for any wardrobe because of the versatility that it provides.  I find that I like it for long runs, the gym or yoga too.  I like this tank because it is light weight and because of its loose fit which is nice is the heat and so its not too clingy.  After wearing this tank for a while, I do wish it was a little shorter both in length and through the torso because since I am 5'2" I find it to be a little too long for me.  Another suggestion that I would add to is possibly to make it into a schimel top so that the sportsbra wouldn't show because I am pretty modest and I would always reccommend a pocket in a running top because you can never have to many of those.  

As for the P.E. short, it is definitely a nice short overall.  I like the light weight nature of the material and the engineered elastic waist band.  Since many of the running bands have adopted that over the past couple of years I have found that to be one of my favorite features.  This type of waistband is much more comfortable and it doesn't give you love handles which I found with the drawstring shorts do no matter how thin you are.  Overall I have no complaints about these shorts, I like the reflective stripping, the pocket on the lower corner of the short which is awesome for a key or GU and they are super comfy too!
