One of the things I love about Twitter is the exposure I get to people and companies I might not otherwise encounter. That was the case with ViewSport, which picked up on a recent tweet I sent out to another blogger. They introduced me to their clothing line and gave me the chance to try it out.
ViewSport is a bit different than other clothing lines in that your sweat activates words on the shirt that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Cool, huh? But as much as I like that concept, it didn’t quite turn out that way for me.
Front of sweat-stained tank
ViewSport sent me their “I am Beast Mode” tank to try out. Since it’s a tank, I had to wait until I was doomed to run on the treadmill to try it out. Today fit the bill–the only way to get my workout in was very early today and it had to be indoors because I was the only adult here at the time.
So–I donned the shirt for a 45-min. trainer session followed immediately by a 45-min. run. I worked up a pretty good sweat. I liked how the shirt held up–it felt like cotton (it’s 98% cotton/2% spandex) but still managed to wick sweat away. But, when I was finished, I was disappointed to see that the words “I am Beast” didn’t appear on the back as they were supposed to. Not enough sweat? Not sure–my son’s first response upon seeing me was “your shirt is pretty stained.” So I’d say there was enough sweat there, but who knows?
Wordless back of tank
Either way, I’d wear this shirt again, just for it’s utility. I suspect it will be a great, cool shirt in the summer heat.
Viewsport has one to offer you, too. To enter, just leave a comment telling me below. I’ll use random.org to pick a winner next Wednesday, Feb. 1. Good luck!

Cool idea! I don’t usually sweat that much when I am running (I usually start sweating once I stop) so I am not sure how well it would work for me, but I love the idea! Thanks for the chance to win.
I always wear tanks (unless I’m at work). Love it!

I talked to them awhile back, but backed off when I heard about the material being mostly cotton… intrigued that you thought it still wicked away sweat… hmm.

Dying to try this! I wonder if your sports bra didn’t protect the shirt on the back? I was wondering about that. Consider me entered!

That shirt is sweet. I would love to win one.
How awesome would it be to sport a Beast Mode shirt? Is it appropriate to wear to school as a teacher?
Jen recently posted..WINNERS!
I’ve yet to hear of this sort of thing. I could try that puppy out in kickboxing class for sure.
I’d like to win one.
I would totally pimp that tank! I don’t typically sweat…but I’ll sure try for the sake of this tank;)
I love the concept of these shirts. I’m gonna have to check out their website and get me one of those cool shirts, (if I don’t win one of course)
A very cool concept! (and you look adorable)

Thanks for being generous!
Bonnie recently posted..Double (Date) Day
Great shirt but it wouldn’t work for me either. I’m not a heavy sweater. I could never work up a sweat that soaks my shirt. I get a little on my forehead and then during extreme workouts, a little drips down from the top of my chest.
I was on the treadmill today as well – hate that!
