Swirlgear Review and a Discount Code

 I recently won a giveaway at magmilerunner and one of the prizes was a Swirlgear cap sleeve shirt.  I picked the yellow one, fell in love with their motto of
strength. style. spirit.
and they are all about  "Celebrating the individual spirit of active, discerning and motivated women" I ended up becoming an ambassador for them. 

Here is the yellow shirt I won.  It is stitched together so nicely that I did my run in it yesterday and never noticed until right after I took this picture, that I had it on inside out. The seams on the inside of this shirt are so flat it could be reversible.

The material is stretchy and breathable.  I ordered a small in the shirt and found it true to size and a maybe a little loose in the tummy area.  It is super comfy to run in and cute to just wear to get groceries or run errands.

Once I became an ambassador I also ordered the long sleeve shirt in yellow, the black jacket and the black shorts.

Once again, I LOVE the long sleeve shirt and can foresee ordering more of these in the future.  It is tighter in the stomach area than the short sleeve shirt, and I thought it fit perfect.

I love the super long sleeves and the only thing I would change about this shirt is to add thumb holes. The seams are flat lock like the short sleeve and the material is breathable.  I see this shirt becoming a regular in my winter running lineup.

I ordered the shorts in a size small and would say they run a little large.  The liner in the shorts is mesh like and I thought the waist came up a little high, but found they are very comfy to run in and I didn't have any issues with them.  I thought the length was great, and not too short.

The jacket has lots of reflective striping.  Love that.  I think this is a great fall or spring jacket. It is wind resistant, but I wouldn't be able to layer much under it, one shirt seemed to be all it could take as it is a little tight in the arms just in the arm pits when I added a thicker shirt to see how it fit.
It does have grippy tape around the bottom to help prevent it from riding up while running. I also would add thumb holes to this if I could.


swirl on!

You can use the discount code "swirlon" to get free shipping.  Downside is that right now they have a pretty limited selection, upside is that they will be having a new line of tanks and capris coming out in December, so stay tuned!!


Disclaimer: I received  a 50% discount as part of the ambassador program. Except for the shirt I won I purchased all of my Swirlgear. I was not required to give a positive review.
