Falke Long Sleeve Running Top review

We have to admit it took us a while to find Falke’s sport range on their website, as we became lost in a world of knee-high socks and men’s knitwear.

Yet judging by the Long Sleeve seen here, the German brand’s lack of a sport-specific focus hasn’t impacted on the athletic quality.

Once on, the 69% polyamide/26% polyester/5% spandex composition was close-fitting but not restrictive and didn’t ride up, offering compression for those of you convinced of the upper-body benefits.

The temperature regulation is also hugely efficient, keeping us warm and free from cold sweat patches throughout.

It’s also stylish enough to be worn as a single layer come the warmer months and, if that price sounds high, the quality construction should last you multiple off-seasons.

Verdict: German efficiency at its finest; a belter of a base layer for which it’s very hard to find any negatives, 94%
