As the autumnal nights draw in and the winter days get closer I have been trying out my new tops from Zerofit. The two tops I have are the Heat Rub Ultimate and the Heat Rub Move, which both focus on making the most of your body heat.
I get cold quite easily so I have worn these tops when both walking and running. I found the Ultimate works best for walking as the more I walked the more I kept warm, the friction on this top seemed to keep the air close to my body and it didn’t make my hair stand on end when taking it off, (a bonus!) As soon as I put this on I didn’t want to take it off anyway! I also think that these tops would be great for horse riding.
I love to walk and share my images on Instagram (@walkingholly) but I also like to run! Fell running is my passion, but their are not many fells in East Anglia! I personally found the Move base layer was best for running, as it wicks the sweat away from my body. I am not a bit ‘sweater’ – my partner on the other hand would sweat just writing this, however during and after my run I didn’t get that cold damp feeling that I have done with other tops.
So overall, I am a size 8 and a small fits me perfectly and both tops are very effective. My only thought to improve the product is the packaging. I know the tops themselves are technically plastic (the Move is 45% Polypropylene) but at least it is reusable. The plastic sleeve packaging on the other hand is not and single use plastic is one of my bug bears. I hope that moving forward the plastic sleeve could be changed for a sustainable paper one. If one is even needed at all.
