My first encounter with K2 was at the 2018 Beijing Marathon, a generous gift from my dear friend Fairy.

It became my go-to choice for marathon and trail running, accompanying me in numerous races.Dozens of races.This shows how deeply I favor it!
Because I genuinely love it, I sought this review opportunity. The clothes are truly excellent, so I wanted to share them with everyone.

The four-piece stitching at the bottom of the shorts is tight and well-aligned, with fine workmanship.
2. Wearing Test and Experience
The clothes are made of 100% polyester,with excellent wrinkle resistance and shape retention,having good strength and elastic recovery ability. During frequent high-intensity exercise, you don't have to worry about the clothes wrinkling or deforming.
Polyester as a clothing fabricis lightweight, skin-friendly, soft, durable, and resistant to stretching, maintaining its shape over time.among other advantages.
I am 173 cm tall and weigh 63 kg. I wear M size for both the short sleeves and shorts, which are form-fitting and highlight the chest muscles. The high slit makes the legs look longer, with a simple and elegant overall style. The red shorts add a youthful and lively touch, full of passion.
3.Race Test and Experience
The material is very smooth and close-fitting, with unique elasticity ensuring the body is not compressed. From actual running tests, it feels comfortable, which is what I callthe "naked running sensation"..
I sweat easily, and during intense exercise, I am drenched in sweat. The short sleeves have excellent breathability, even when completely soaked,there is no stuffy feeling, but rather a skin-friendly and refreshing sensation,allowing the abdominal muscles' contours to be visible, showcasing the ultra-thin texture of the clothes. The sweat is absorbed and expelled to the surface, without the heavy, wet feeling of cotton T-shirts.
4.Shortcomings and Suggestions
1. During marathons, when attaching the bib, the pin may cause the fabric to snag, so care and attention are needed when wearing it.
2. In hot weather, many people run at night. More reflective markers or strips would increase safety for night runners.
