Ummmm...I wore the top out yesterday evening, just for my local, out-the-back-door-onto-the-fells run. First impressions are that it restricted my breathing. Also, despite claiming to have magical, Swiss textile technology, cooling properties on the product description, it was (and this is obvious really) much hotter than I would have wanted and normally I would have worn a light vest in last evening's temperature. The high UV protection of the compression top was a plus though.

Think I'll use it for less aerobically demanding activities like kayaking.

Those leggings do sound comfy Mike, and I wonder if you've inadvertently let slip one of the secrets of your super-endurance, mega-running prowess
