X-Bionic Effektor Running Powershirt (Fall 2013)

$210 | www.x-bionic.com

Compression socks? Absolutely. Compression tights? Sure. Compression shirts? We were skeptical. With an impressive array of technical features, the Effektor Powershirt hugs your body in all the right places to counterbalance the centrifugal force created by your arm swing—letting blood circulate through your body faster. According to X-Bionic, this will support major muscle groups and save you energy in the long run (no pun intended). We liked the concept, but this super-tight tee may feel too restrictive for some runners. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes.
