NEDAO is a legit performance running apparel brand (after trying it out) at a truly affordable price.
The highlight of this brand is the Qi Flow Collection running shirt. It is an extremely lightweight running shirt with thin fabric and ventilation holes all over ... The one I wore for this review is a singlet, making it the closest thing to not wearing a running shirt at all for me right now.
The Qi Flow Singlet's killer feature is its lightness:
I weighed the men's Size S shirt and it really weighed 25 grams, just as specified on the website. Then I let several friends hold it, and everyone exclaimed in unison, "Whoa, it's really light!"
The next killer feature: Holes
As you can see in the picture, these are ventilation holes created by cutting, not laser-cut. There are both small and large holes all over the front and back. When wearing it for a run, it really feels comfortable, with the air hitting your body. Meanwhile, my friend running next to me was sweltering in a regular short-sleeved running shirt, while I was cool and comfortable.
The next killer feature (and there's more): Extremely quick-drying
Since the main fabric is likely polyester and it is woven very thinly, it dries quickly and doesn't retain sweat. Before I knew it, it felt like I hadn't run at all, lol.
Chafing
Because the fabric is so lightweight and thin, the shirt stays close to the body when running, so there is no chafing. I am confident that even after a long run, my nipples won't bleed from chafing ... In the picture, I DNF'd at kilometer 31 in a marathon without any chafing.
The side seams are bonded, so I'm sure they won't chafe ... Personally, I have never had chafing issues on the sides with either stitched or bonded shirts.
Fitting
As you can see, I think the cut is quite nice. The length of the hem is just right for me. I like it like this, not too long.
Value for money
For me, I think a running shirt with these features at a price tag of 1,290 baht is very good value for money. Because if we look at our local market, running shirts priced under 1,000 baht don't have fabric with these features, and if we look at running shirts with these features, they cost several thousand baht.
NEDAO Qiflow Singlet is truly a race-ready running shirt at a great price.
