Strengths: wicking properties are excellent,even if you like me pour water over yourself on hot days on long runs it keeps you cool but not soggy,they wash really well and maintain their shape brilliantly,they cling but don't stick especially on your long runs,and with the panels on the sides they apparantly displace the heat from where you are most hot-very comforting for a pregnant runner-and still stretchy.
Weaknesses: you can get dri-fit t-shirts for much cheaper that do the same job,just without being so fitted,plus they do tend to stink after a while as you can't use fabric conditioner on them
Overall: I'm a nike girl in a nike world-but hunt around for a better price!
Strengths: the files it keeps of past performances combined with the little trophy it awards you if you reach your targets means that you want to please it!it takes a while to understand some of the settings but its very easy once you set it all up,and as its very particular to me alone i would be lost without it,ant the chest strap is easily washed and dries quicklyhaving 2 children under4 im a practical person!
Weaknesses: it does a fitness test based on resting heartrate and it thinks im elite-for my age!im far from it.....though you can see it is measurably progressive and my heartrate has dropped from the initial tests it did at xmas
Overall: I LOVE my watch,it feels like a little training partner,i have recomended it to so many people,my friends laughed when i got it at xmas,now im completing 10k and they are struggling trying to do 5k
'IT GIVES A NICE SHAPE,BUT WAS NOT SUPPORTIVE FOR ME'
Strengths: lovely shape,comfortable
Weaknesses: i bounced!i experimened with sizing,but it didnt make a difference,for running-i am a 34f,and started at a 36h when i was feeding my babies,nothing touched the enell,it is fine for other cardio stuff though,even aerobics-just not constant movement,like skipping and running
Strengths: they offer great support,feel really sturdy,grippy when its wet,my knees hold up really well in these.
Weaknesses: difficult to source them
Overall: i would recommend these over other brands ive tried,their competitors feel so floppy and flimsy in comparison-you get used to the heavier feeling as you know it is suporting you
