I like my 100 t-shirt, and wear it to most parkruns. My 50, and the old 25 volunteer shirt are a different fabric, and don't often get worn. I have considered adding a 1 in front of the 50 now that I've finally passed 150 parkruns.

I like my old Adidas 50 & 100 shirts the best.

My favourite is the 250 for fit and texture my 100 is quite thick an adidas one good for colder days though My 50 was ok but very worn out now.

My 50 is a Tribesport one, I love the feel of it - it's still one of my favourite shirts to run in. (I might try and turn the 5 into a 6 temporarily in a couple of weeks to mark my age category "promotion" :)

I qualified for my 100 and v25 about a week before the supplier change was announced, so I ended up waiting quite a while for them to arrive. They're comfy, but always feel a bit fragile. (I once wore a light rucksack over my 100, and it damaged it pretty much on contact - that was back in the days before you could get replacements)

My 250 & v100 are similar to the 100/v25/v50 in comfort, but feel a lot less fragile.

It will come as no surprise to anyone that they all fit "fine" - not great, but not bad. A side effect of being an overweight middle-aged man who buys everything in size "XL".

I've contemplated vests in the past - but an athletic fit plus my spare tyre results in the vests I do have making me look like a badly stuffed sausage.

I managed to time my milestones to have a Nike 50, Adidas 100, Tribesports 250 and Prodirect 500. I really like the new milestone vests but the silky fabric of the Tribesports is probably my favourite.

I got my 50 not so long ago and really like it. Material and fit are both good.

Must admit of the Adidas, tribesports and current models, I like the material of the current ones the most.

I love the feel of my Tribesports 250, but it shows my post-illness pot belly in a very unflattering way. Incentive to lose the gut I guess.

Just past half way from 250 to 500 now, only 3 years for a new colour!

My 50 is a tribesports tee and I’m about to send it off to be turned into a 50 venues then I’ll start wearing it again. In the mean time I always wear my black 100 vest to parkrun that I got last December

If anybody here is doing GNR I am doing the Jesmond dene park run on the Saturday as it’s 1/2 mile from my b and b. Anybody else ?
