Anyone know a good place to find inexpensive long sleeve running shirts? They don't have to be fancy, but cotton is not working for me.

    I get most of my stuff from National Running Center. They are pretty reasonable!

    Depends where you live, I guess. Wal-Mart?

    I get my stuff from roadrunnersports.com. Probably not the least expensive but they are good people with which to do business.

    If you're not brand-specific, Target carries a lot of athletic wear. And you can usually catch them on sale pretty often.

    Target has everything you might need to wear for running except decent shoes. They carry Champion's C9 line of athletic clothing. I have purchased quite a few items from there and haven't had any complaints yet.

    I love tj maxx for reasonably priced exercise gear.

    Walmart has the 'starter' brand, their stuff seems really decent for the money. I haven't checked out their long sleeve stuff yet though.

    I second the comments about Target. I bought some shorts & long sleeve shirt a month ago, and use them regularly.

    Search for "mens running" at target.com. That should get you started on what they have.

    I've found quite a few bargains shopping on-line (picked up an Asics Thermopolis half zip for 50% off retail by watching for sales), it just takes a little patience. If you have a running store nearby the clearance rack can also be your best friend f you're not fussy about colour or brand.

    Target is a great place to get running clothes. I get a lot of mine there. I can't afford the $70 brooks jackets and shirts.

    THIS!!! You have to be consistent with TJ. I worked for the company for 10 years and know unless you are willing to make the effort to go on a regular basis, you won't find it. But I have bought tons of workout stuff there. Two of my sons play football and I have purchased long sleeved gear to go under their football pads as well. You have to have patience!!

    I also go to Kohl's. They sometimes have good stuff. I live in CO so I shop at the Boulder Running Co. They are on the pricy side, but have some great clothes, shoes, accessories and specialized running items.

    Check out Amazon and Ebay as well. Generally you can find some really great stuff if you are willing to search!!

    I have a bunch of C9 shirts from Target, but I have gotten better stuff for cheaper at TJ Maxx. The ones around here have frequently had fitted shirts from Hind and Layer 8, both of which seem to be a little better than C9.

    I got some great shirts at Footlocker. They made from bamboo. Do a great job.
    Not a bad price - $45 = tax for two (I got a BOGO 1/2).

    I second the suggestion for the Wal-Mart "Starter" brand. Also, I have had great luck at Fred Meyer (in the US northwest) and JC PENNEY!

    I like JC Penney or Target. They are just as good as my expensive stuff.

    Google running clubs in your area. Most have LS shirts at good prices. Support your local running club. They help organize most races.

    Enjoy.

    National Running Center website is excellent.

    If you have an Academy Sports near you, go buy their BCG line of gear. Comprable performance to Nike Dri Fit at a quarter of the price.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I ended up getting some C9 compression shirts from Target and they are great!

    ha ha sometimes I wish I lived in the States, you guys have way better deals than we do on some of this stuff! I tend to get most of my long sleeve running shirts from races that I run in the fall/winter! (the Army Run shirts are FAB!) if I have to buy I usually head straight to the clearance rack.

    Find a race this time of year, run the race, get the long sleeve tech tee. Two birds, one stone :)
