Question Singlets for tall people (6’4)

For all you not short runners out there, what name brand singlets do you wear on race day? It seems as if everything is made for short people in the running world. I’m 6’4 and 9 times out of 10 any singlet or “running” top I get is always too short and rides up. I’m only 205 pounds pretty slender build so getting a gigantic size doesn’t really help and looks stupid bc it’s just baggy and still short

The old lululemon fast and free singlets are pretty long. So is the adidas Adv

Have both. 6’2 235 with a little bit of a gut and they both come down to lower cheek area.

Lululemon tanks tend to run longer. Nike rise tanks are also longer than the last gen aeroswift singlets which were basically crop tops for my longer torso.

The Nike Aeroswift ADV in an XL. I found it at the Nike clearance store for like, $40 usd. I’m also 6’4.

Is the ADV extra long? The regular aeroswift feels really short to me

I’m not sure… I know the large didn’t fit like I wanted it to so I had to bump up. I’m a large in other big name brands.

The new ones with regular nike swoosh are longer than the old model with swoosh pointed up.

Is this different than the regular Aeroswift? I tried one on in the NYC Nike store before the NyC marathon and it was the shortest one I’ve tried yet. Might as well had a crop top on lol

They’re still very short, even sizing up.

Figured. All Nike running tops I’ve ever tried are short.

Might want to look at miller running. Not cheap. But I have seen some tall dudes wearing it

I mostly wear tracksmith van Cortland singlets, I'm 6'6 90kgs and the XL fits me great. Not stupid long but not too short either. That said, I'm all legs so if torso length is your thing then they might be short?
