As coaches we try our best and to have the entire SMS team wear them out on the roads and we can really see the difference! Currently the team is outfitted in several generations and versions from cotton t shirts and tanks to Nike and Reebook sport bras, shirts and Brooks Podium shirts. The later has seemed to become the go to shirt for nordies. The USST, college teams and clubs have all had some made up, and this year SMS got some logo’ed. These are great workout, wicking, performance T’s that run about $20-25. You can never have too many work out shirts (or you risk the double whammy, bright on the eyes and burning stank on the nose). So if you are holiday shopping for an athlete consider hitting up NENSA partner LL Bean’s or any sporting goods/cycling store’s high visibility section.divdivbr //divdivbbr //b/div/divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4680416899705879324-106452984473861751?l=smsxc.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
