Running shoes and workout shorts are essential for comfortably logging miles, but sporting a proper T-shirt can make the difference between a new PR and a chafing disaster. For those high mileage days or particularly sweaty workouts, a moisture-wicking performance shirt will beat everything else, and recently, one of Adidas‘ best went on super-sale.

Typically $35, the Adidas Designed for Training Performance T-Shirt is now on sale at Nordstrom Rack for just $20—a 42% discount. It’s a great option for running, gym sessions, pickup games, or any athletic pursuit and has earned more than 200 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it “fits great and wicks off the sweat while working out.” It’s available in a neutral light gray tone and comes in sizes small to XL.

Adidas’ Designed for Training t-shirt is made with sustainability and performance in mind. The shirt is primarily made from recycled polyester and lyocell, an eco-friendly rayon-like fabric made from regenerated cellulose. It has a comfortable collar and details like offset shoulder seams and a split hem for comfort and ease of movement. The fabric utilizes Adidas’ Aeroready technology, which is breathable and pulls sweat away from the body.

When it comes to workout T-shirts, the feel of the fabric is crucial, but many were impressed with how soft and airy this one was. One shopper raved that it’s a “good fit for the gym and it wicks moisture well.” Another called it, “Very comfortable and lightweight,” adding, “The collar doesn’t roll like many shirts, either.” A third shopper said the shirt is “roomy and lightweight—excellent for intense workouts.”

As a versatile workout shirt, it’s a suitable option for anything, including basketball, running, and gym sessions, according to the reviews. One shopper wrote, “Feels great for any type of training. Light and airy; doesn’t feel like it’s soaked in sweat.” Shoppers also found the low-key styling suitable for casual wear, with one writing “These are perfect not just for the gym, but for any workout or summer activities.”

Running or working out in a beat-up graphic t-shirt may be a classic gym look, but there’s a time and place for a true workout shirt. With the arrival of warmer weather, Adidas’ Designed for Training Performance T-shirt will be a go-to for any summer workout, and at just $20, it’s a good idea to stock up.
