There is something about your favorite running shirt especially after having trained for some big races. When you go running you often have nothing more with you than the shoes on your feet and the shirt on your back so unlike baseball where you may have a favorite glove, basketball where you have a headband or rugby where you have your shorty shorts that keeps your sack exposed in running you don't often become attached to anything. You wear your sneakers out quickly, you have tons of running shorts and you run in any ratty shirt you can find. The issue is that sometimes you have a shirt which fits you particularly well and with all the new technology in shirt design it keeps the sweat off of you so you stay dry.
The issue is though that these sweat repellent shirts are like scotch-guard, they work but there has to be some drawback be it environmental, chemical or hygenic. See these shirts is that after running in them for a few weeks they completely reek and it doesn't matter how many times you throw it in the wash because the sweat has set in and everytime you wear it, it smells like you are wearing a wet dog. The stink is unmistakable although the shirt still looks good..
I guess it is nothing like scotch-guard afterall, it doesn't repel stains it absorbs them.
