craft red label warmth from the north

Hello everyone, I am the running Xu Daning. For freshmen who have officially joined the marathon army, how can you persist in running and exercising in winter, improve your energy storage, and look forward to showing a better self in the spring of the coming year? Especially for friends in Guangdong, how do you prepare for the upcoming winter marathon season? Running gear is of course indispensable. Some people say that good things have good reasons, and I absolutely agree when it comes to running shoes. The same logic applies to clothing, where design, experimentation, materials, and environmental testing all have strict requirements. Based on my evaluation, the CRAFT Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt is your best choice. It will provide you with the warmest protection in the cold winter.

CRAFT: A functional sportswear brand, is one of the more than 20 brands under the New Wave Group. Craft was founded in Sweden in 1977, initially producing functional underwear for Swedish Royal Air Force pilots. This fiber fabric was continuously improved and proven to have sweat-wicking properties that maximized comfort during intense exercise. By the late 1970s, it was applied to various winter skiing projects and achieved considerable success.

Today, Craft sports underwear has been successfully applied to a wider range of sports, such as football, basketball, running, orienteering, and cycling. It is also used in many leisure activities such as sailing, hunting, and hiking. Based on sports underwear, Craft continuously develops functional sportswear suitable for outdoor activities like skiing, cycling, running, and orienteering. The three-layer principle of Craft clothing is the best interpretation of functional sportswear. The Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt I am introducing today is the first layer: the base layer (inner sports underwear). It has good breathability and sweat-wicking functions, using fabric and sewing techniques to ensure that sweat is successfully transferred to the second layer. The other two layers are the insulation layer and the protective layer, and Craft offers excellent products for sports enthusiasts to choose from.

Advantages of the CRAFT Red Label Shirt
Simple and stylish design, underwear can also be elegant and stylish; 3D honeycomb thickened weave layer locks in body heat; hot spots use thin three-dimensional weaving for faster moisture wicking; seamless weaving in the torso area conforms to ergonomics, allowing flexibility during exercise; precise size cutting for a more stylish fit; excellent fiber fabric with good elasticity.
Disadvantages of the CRAFT Red Label Shirt
The cuff design is not tight enough.

Codoon has always adhered to a responsible attitude towards merchants and Codoon friends. Whether it is medals, mall treasures, or evaluation products, whether it is packaging or products, the sincerity is full. This unboxing experience gets a full 5 points from me!

The Craft packaging box is a high-end gift box, reflecting Craft's fashionable positioning and product quality as a high-end sports brand. The outer packaging of the Craft Red Label Shirt can be described as stunning. When such an exquisite pull-out box appears in front of you, it is eye-catching. The front side has irregular geometric partitions with the Craft logo, highlighting the red label's keep warm (cold protection) product positioning, easily distinguishing it from Craft's green label, blue label, and other base layer shirts.

The product packaging uses a drawer design, which is both stylish and elegant, showcasing Craft's quality.

So, what is the Red Label? When choosing sports equipment, how should we choose? According to the official website, Craft divides its products into red, green, and blue labels based on factors such as the environment, temperature, and intensity during exercise. Please choose accordingly.

Craft uses 3D weaving technology, adopting different weaving structures according to the requirements of different areas of the body to achieve the required different temperatures. This is the so-called 'body mapping technology.'

Shoulders: Uses 3D weaving technology to effectively balance warmth while maximizing freedom of movement.

Neckline: Crew neck design for cold protection and warmth. The mid-neck design is very suitable as a base layer in autumn, winter, and cold winter, with better heat-locking effect and less wind penetration.

Underarms: The hot spots on both sides of the underarms use thin three-dimensional weaving, which can play a very good role in heat dissipation and moisture wicking, making people feel fresher during exercise.

Waist: The front lower part of the body uses medium-thick body-hugging weaving, which keeps warm while stabilizing the posture.

Hem: Classic thickened fringe design, beautiful and generous, stronger binding, windproof.

Cuffs: Classic thickened fringe design, but the cuffs are relatively wide. (This is the only imperfection I felt during my experience)

Additionally, the overall elasticity of the Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt is excellent! No matter what your body shape is, it can be perfectly displayed.

October 17, Sunday, Shunde, Guangdong, temperature 7°-14°, north wind 3-4 level.

For every weekend, I am used to feeling the joy of running with thousands of Codoon friends in the Codoon online marathon. The cold winter days may make you hesitate, but fortunately, I have the Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt! The temperature around 10 degrees and the 3-4 level north wind in the afternoon provided the perfect timing for my Craft Red Label evaluation. I put on the Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt, along with Codoon skin jacket and Codoon men's tights, and embarked on my 10-kilometer journey.

Wearing the Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt, I deeply experienced its heat-locking effect. With the pre-run warm-up movements, my whole body warmed up, especially the chest and lower abdomen areas, where I could feel the heat-locking warmth effect it brought.

After running one or two kilometers, I felt warmth in my chest, coolness under my arms, free arm movement, a snug fit around the lower abdomen, and although the neckline was narrow, it had good elasticity. As the run progressed, it actually locked in the temperature. The body could maintain warmth and comfort well during the run, without expending too much energy to maintain body temperature, ensuring stable pace and better stamina. It could lock in body heat before exercise, maintain a certain warmth and comfort during exercise, and prevent getting cold after exercise. The Craft base layer achieved this.

After completing the 10-kilometer race, I summarized my experience wearing the Craft Red Label Long Sleeve Shirt: The chest area, which is a regular sweating area, was only slightly damp; the underarms, which are a heavy sweating area, had relatively more sweat accumulation but were not sticky, indicating that the Craft Red Label had a certain sweat-wicking effect. Other areas were similar to the chest, with only slight dampness, and were directly dry.

1. Quick-drying: 5 points; (out of 5 points)

The main feature of the CRAFT Red Label is temperature control, so it has a significant effect on quick-drying and sweat-wicking.

2. Fashion: 5 points;

It must be 5 points. The CRAFT Red Label, as functional sportswear, balances sports functionality and fashion very well. The overall 3D cutting design makes it a good choice for daily underwear wear.

3. Clothing design: 4 points

It varies from person to person. Personally, I don't like high-neck or mid-neck clothes, although they are indeed comfortable to wear without discomfort. I still give a fair suggestion based on personal preference.

4. Heat dissipation function: 5 points

In addition to the meticulous clothing materials, the design under the arms plays a very good role in heat dissipation and moisture wicking, so it must be given full marks.

Through recent usage experiences, I can clearly feel the accuracy of the CRAFT Red Label in product positioning, and it also provides accurate descriptions for usage scenarios. As winter training equipment, it is very appropriate. The key is that it can be worn in multiple ways, for running, fitness, commuting, and more. It is very worth having.
