Bandit Adapto Distance Race Top

This top feels ultra-light and sleek, almost like a second skin. The fabric stretches in all directions and stays in place, from the warm-up to the finish. The seams are bonded and lie flat, so nothing chafes under your arms or along your sides.

It performs best in races and fast runs where you want to feel as little as possible. Think of a 10 km in the city, a half marathon along the Amstel, or a trail race where your pace remains high for a long time. You notice the difference in the final kilometers: where a loose shirt gets wet and starts to stick or chafe, this top stays light and comfortable. If you get warm, unzip it from the top or bottom for extra ventilation.

If in doubt, look at what you need to bring. There is only a pocket for your phone at the back of the neck, so for gels you need a belt or shorts with pockets. If you want to carry gels in your top, the Adapto 2-Way Zip Race Top with gel pockets is a better choice. Due to the compression fit, it fits really snugly, so if you prefer some room, choose a looser shirt.

In short: a sleek, lightweight racing top for those who want to run fast without feeling a thing.
