Running shorts, compression tights, base layers, joggers and sun hoodies, compared on fabric weight, pockets, UPF labels and how they move.
8.1score
The pleated skort carries 4.5 stars and the cleaner sizing record; the dress with a built-in bra solves more of the outfit and splits buyers on fit.
7.9score
A lined, very high-waisted running short with one zip pocket; two thirds of buyers give it five stars, and the rest mostly argue about size.
7.9score
Five pairs of 92/8 polyester-spandex tights for the price of one branded pair; buyers love the value and warmth, and keep calling them thin and small.
7.9score
Four DRSKIN pieces for the gym and the cold: the 10,697-rating 3/4 tights, a 4-pack of long-sleeve tops, a fleece-lined 3-pack and 26-inch straps.
7.8score
Running shorts, golf joggers, a pleated tennis skort, a thumb-hole running top and a tennis dress. The skort is the safe buy, and sizing decides the rest.
7.7score
A mesh Y-back tank four-pack, a hooded tank two-pack, a UPF 50+ tee, compression shorts and 10-inch gym shorts, all cut from one polyester-spandex blend.
7.6score
Four BMJL pieces from 55 to 2,284 Amazon ratings: the ruffle shorts and the palazzo pants are the safer buys, the halter top splits buyers on size.
7.6score
A high-rise, drawstring-waist hiking capri with two zip pockets, four flap cargo pockets and cinchable cuffs, rated 4.3 by 8,974 buyers on a listing that never names its fabric.
7.2score
A unisex nylon and mesh running vest with two 500 ml soft flasks, a 2-liter bladder sleeve and a main zip compartment, sold on a listing with only 20 ratings.
7.2score
Both rate 4.2 stars from about 2,700 to 2,900 buyers; the hoodie fights a short, small cut, the racerback a deep armhole you have to dress around.
7.1score
An unlined, drawstring running short with a 4.5-inch inseam and two zipped side pockets; 4.0 stars from 62 ratings, and 15% of them are one or two stars.
