When it comes to hitting the road in premium comfort or prepping for race day, the Aeroswift Singlet is a top-of-the-line option. From its fashionable V-neck style and curved hemline to its engineered design, the Nike Dri-FIT ADV Aeroswift Singlet embodies coolness. Working out will feel like a breeze in this lightweight singlet thanks to the open-hole perforations all along the front and back that add a touch of flair. Updated with even more strategically placed ventilation and breathability combined with Nike's Dri-FIT ADV technology, the Aeroswift Singlet ensures you won't overheat, no matter how toasty it gets outside. We love the soft seam construction and racerback design that pushes you to pick up your pace without causing any irritation.

"Nike Aeroswift doesn't miss! I decided to wear it for the LA Marathon. It is super lightweight, and I appreciated the added breathability from the perforations on race day. I didn't even have noticeable sweat during the marathon, which is crazy! The semi-fit is also my favorite for long distances. I appreciate having a little breathing room, especially for longer mileage runs, as opposed to something that clings to your body. I didn't experience any chafing from the singlet. I paired it with my Nike Aeroswift Short, and it's an amazing combo!" Risa, Running Warehouse Social Media Specialist.

On my 5'9 frame, this top barely showed my midriff paired with high-rise rabbit shorts. The fabric is soft, and it's just overall a comfortable top.
