Running shirtless...?

I run with a tech shirt just so I can stroll into a store to buy something if I need to. Stores typically have "no shirt, no shoes, no service" rule around here. Besides, I'm a tropical guy so heat doesn't bother me as much.0

For me it's the humidity and warm temps. Tech clothing and engineering will never cool you off as well as the genetically engineered cooling your body does naturally.
I've been interested in this. I got some cotton workout shirts as gifts at the beginning of the year. They were OK in the spring, but are just getting drenched and heavy when I run and are frankly too hot for comfort in 90° temps.
The chafed nipples thing frankly doesn't sound good...
agree with other poster DON"T WEAR COTTON! there are some good syntheics out there (but even with those, shirtless is better, because you can get a nice draft on your skin which can help cool you down, of course most of my normal run is in the shade....)0 -
What's the ettiquette/rule of thumb for this?
Seriously? If it is hot, or you want to get a tan while you run, or love the sun...run shirtless. It is personal preference.
I run shirtless all the time in the summer.0 -
Men never wear shirts to run where I live. Except this one guy who wears a button-down linen shirt over his banana hammock. I'd rather he go shirtless and wear shorts, personally.
I run in a bikini top and shorts.
There's a guy I've seen at one of the parks here a couple times who run -- RUNS! -- in a button-down shirt, jeans and a belt.
Is he Amish?
And this is humid, hot Florida.0 -
If you're single, I don't mind you showing off your shirtless body. If you're married, please don't.0

I live in Florida. Shirtless is completely acceptable, and I have to admit I kind of appreciate it sometimes , although I always wear a shirt when running.0

I find the newer moisture management fabrics (name brand, not the cheap ones you get at a 5k) are more comfortable than running shirtless, and you dont need to worry about sun screen.
this^ I notice that I actually feel cooler wearing a light colored loose fitting tech shirt. I run at a pretty popular park here in Houston (Memorial Park) so I see all kinds, including some that would probably be better served by wearing a shirt.....any shirt. :noway:
To each his own though, I just take in all the sights and keep it moving LOL0 -

In to see how much snake handling goes on at your church. . . :laugh:0 -
For men; yes, run shirtless. For women; no. Unfair, but that's the way it is.0

Go shirtless if you want. Don't go shirtless if you don't want to. I tend to prefer the first when I run.0

No big deal, whatever you prefer.0

I've been running without a shirt the last week or so since it's getting a lot hotter outside. My wife, however, is mortified that I'm out sweating it up bear-chested.
Are you bear-chested, like super hairy, and now everyone can see that? Or bare-chested, like a nice, smooth physique? If it's the latter, run without a shirt. If its the former, get some waxing/lasering/shaving done, then run without a shirt.0 -

Why is it unfair? Go run topless and ruin your breasts. Personally, I'm happy with what I've got and love having them. If that means wearing a sports bra to run, oh geez.. Life is just awful.0 -

It's unfair to us guys 'cause we can't enjoy the view0 -
When I finally lose what's left of my stomach I will totally run in a sports bra. There have been days I've been totally tempted to do it even with my flabby self. I say if you are hot, go for it!!!0

if seeing you topless doesn't blind people, or make them gag, go for it ;-p0 -
