Review of the Breeze By Squad SS, Breeze By Muscle Tank, and Swiftly Breeze SS Tops.

I thought I'd do a post on the new Breeze By Squad SS, Breeze By Muscle Tank II, Swiftly Breeze SS, and compare them to each other and their very similar Swiftly counterparts. First, the Breeze By Squad Short Sleeve top, front side:

Both are fantastic technical, versatile, classic tops and you can't go wrong with either one. I own both styles and like them equally. I think choosing one over the other will come down to feel, the Swiftly Breeze is a bit thinner and softer imo, and aesthetics - the fabric will hang slightly different, and whether you like the obviously sporty but classic ohm-symbol pattern of the Swiftly or the performance-top-that-can-pass-as-casual-wear perforated material on the Breeze By Squad. The material has slightly different content, too:

The Breeze By Squad has a little more nylon and less polyester.

Since I am new to owning the Breeze By, one thing I can't comment on is how easily the Breeze By material snags compared to Swiftlys. Can any long time Breeze By people comment in on how you've found they hold up compared to Swiftlys?

Here is a comparison of the Swiftly Breeze SS compared to a regular SS Swiftly top. The Breeze is a little shorter and quite a bit wider than the regular swiftly. A constant issue with Swiftly tops is that they tend to ride up, especially when worn with slippery luxtreme or nulux bottoms, but the looser fit of the Breeze version combats this.

Breeze By Muscle Tank II vs. Swiftly Tank - it's slightly shorter and quite a bit roomier than the Swiftly.  I think the Breeze By Tank is a good choice for busty women that can't do Swiftly tanks and/or are looking for a technical tank with a higher neck or more back coverage. I'd love to see this come in Julep or muted blues and greens. If you're looking for a versatile technical top with more coverage this is a great option.

Hanakotoba Starlight Multi Fast and Free Crops and Memoir Multi Purple Chasing Miles Tights. I got my Hanakotoba Fast and Frees on Friday and the print is a keeper.

I was in the market for a new Love Tee and came home with the crew neck version in Berry Mist. I would have preferred the V-neck but don't care for the rolled up sleeves.

The Space Dye Ice Grey Alpine White Love Tee was also tempting.

I also came home with the Light Coral Breeze By SS top. I got it to go with the Translucence Alpine Multi Fast and Frees shown above. I really like the looser-fitting no-riding-up Breeze Swiftlys but now that it's warmer I need a short sleeve version. This top is only offered in three colors right now - the coral, black, and white.

Time to Sweat Tank. I didn't love how the this tank fit me. The armholes exposed too much of the front of my bra. It'd probably work better if I wasn't so busty.

The Blue Glow Swiftly Tank T-back.  I like this style a lot.

The men's shorts come with a new mesh liner now.

The men's Runway SS tee has silverescent circle mesh on the back and regular silverescent on the front. I would love a women's version of this top. I find silverescent circle mesh to be the most breathable material for running.
