Size Up and Get Sweaty – Marika Tek Review


Some time ago, the lovely people at Marika were kind enough to send me some of their Marika Miracles workout pants.  I love those pants; they are my go to workout pants (you know, when I work out).  So, I was absolutely thrilled when they offered to send me this workout tee*:

My fame-scoffing nephew took this.  He cut off my feet.

It is the Venus Crew Neck Dry Wik Short Sleeve Tee and like the pants, it helps keep my oh-so-very-sweaty self comfortable when I’m working out.  Even having previous experience with Marika’s Dry-Wik technology, I was a little apprehensive about this review because they sent me purple and I prefer working out in black, to hide the sweat.  But, I gave the purple a shot and I am pleased to report it was only a little discolored by the end of my workout:

Yes, that's a picture of my sweaty back.  You're welcome?

Really, my only complaint about this tee, and it’s a minor one, is that it seems to run a bit small.  But, that could just be because while I don’t mind working out in tight pants (as is obvious in the photo above), I try to avoid tight shirts.  If you feel the same, I’d definitely recommend sizing up.  For reference, I’m wearing an XL.

I can honestly say that the Marika Tek line is pretty great.  And, if you want to see for yourself, you can get 20% off at Marika by entering the code TEK20 at checkout, now through the end of September.

Happy Shopping!

*Yes, Marika sent me this tee for free, but the opinions in this post are mine because you know I love my opinions too much to let someone else dictate them.
