Raw Threads Review & Giveaway

Back in January when I went to the Tinkerbell Half Marathon Expo in Disneyland I visited this awesome booth full of really soft athletic clothing, it was the Raw Threads booth. That was in the early stages of reviving my blog and I hadn't started doing any product reviews, so when I finally started approaching companies I was really hoping that Raw Threads would respond. I couldn't wait to put one of those soft t-shirts on, thankfully they responded and were so generous to send me TWO tshirts!


I've always had trouble finding comfortable technical wear, some I find to be too stiff or it makes me itchy because the moisture-wicking  fabric contains polyester. Well, these t-shirts are totally different than any other athletic t-shirt I've ever had, actually different than ANY t-shirt I've ever had. They are SO soft, the bamboo cotton is breathable and stretchy. I'll admit I've been wearing them other than just to run because I love them that much. They have some really cute designs, especially the Half Marathon/Marathon themed ones, I'll definitely be visiting them again for the Wine & Dine Half Marathon in November. You can check out all the designs on their website here.

Here are a few facts about Raw Threads clothing:
-Bamboo natural fibers
-Anti-odor
-UPF 50+ sun protection
-4-way stretch
-Moisture-wicking
-Regulates core temperature

I wore one of my Raw Threads shirts during my Virtual Jelly Bean Half Marathon on Saturday and it felt great. I wasn't too hot, I felt relatively dry and I think I looked pretty awesome out there LOL.



-please note that Raw Threads sent me only the product and is not paying me for this review, it is purely based on my own experience with the product-
