What to Look For in Women's Running Gear For running gear, instead of choosing cotton that stays damp when you sweat, choose newer fabrics that take moisture away from your skin and dry faster. No matter what our sport, the garment that is touching our skin we make sure is this kind of lightweight, highly breathable fabric. Search for keywords like "dri weave", "wick away", "nylon",  "lycra", "microfiber" and "mesh". Champion just introduced a new line called "double dry." It works great for running, bras, shorts, tops. The main thing to look for in this type of clothing is either thin, breathable fabric or panels that pull moisture away from your skin. So go out there and get running!
