I usually run shirtless when it gets above 60 degrees F though I've gone sans shirt as low as ~55 degrees on a sunny and calm day. No shirt for me is better as I'm one of those guys that sweats a ton during physical exertion and if I wore a shirt (whether cotton or dri-fit), it would be soaked and heavy.

Since 1996, I go shirtless above 28°F, gloveless above 40°, my range is -50 to 104°, though I haven’t been in Wisconsin temps since 1977. Min temp here is 10°F. I am shameless, so should you be.

As long as you are comfortable, i am ok running shirtless, even though you may not have a nice body to flaunt.

I run shirtless unless it is the dead of winter and the weather will not allow me. I think 60 degrees is my shirtless threshold. Look at me in the upper right, that's me finishing a marathon in Washington, DC in March; shirtless. I only saw one other shirtless man in the entire race, I passed him with half a mile left to be the first guy to finish the race without a shirt! How's that for accomplishment?

2009-06-26T16:46:21.703-04:00

Yeah, tough call on this one. U gots to have the bod or else it's gross. Like where I used to live there was a clothing optional beach. I went there once to check out all the hot babes. But couldn't find a one...instead it was mostly fat wrinkled old farts.
Seriously, no one wants to see that. ewww, not even fat old wrinklely women want to see that, do they?

2009-06-26T12:25:06.361-04:00

Haha! What a funny post! I live in CA, where I see shirtless guys everyday, doing their thing. I had no idea it was such a big deal! I say guys should go shirtless if they want to. :)

2009-06-25T21:03:40.803-04:00

I have no problem with shirtless running, I think if you're comfortable enough with your body to do it, than by all means, please do.

However, I think if the weather is not warranting I would have to disagree. I saw a guy the other day running topless with little short shorts (so what?) well, it was only 5am and barely 50 degrees. You can't tell me that he was too hot...maybe he had just been mugged and was running in his skivvies to get help?...wouldn't explain the expensive (bright white) shoes though.

2009-06-25T15:28:43.512-04:00

LMAO! I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard right now. Absolutely LOVE the post! I don't think it's bad form to run topless, if I could I would. Sports bra's are stifling but alas no such luck as support is needed... Enjoy your shirtless runs and don't forget the sunscreen!

2009-06-22T22:48:25.636-04:00

I'm all for you ditching the shirt...but please, just don't forget the sunscreen!

2009-06-21T19:36:21.313-04:00

I was all with you 'til I got t that last sentence about the split running shorts.

There's a guy on my new running team this summer that wears them. I'm too afraid to run his pace on a windy day -- I remember too well wearing wrap dresses back in middle school and what happened on windy days.....

...shudders...

WV: forri -- I don't want to see that guy's forri.

2009-06-20T09:27:56.730-04:00

Yes please. But ONLY if you can carry it off. You don't even have to be a beefcake. Just no man boobage and a beer gut.

2009-06-19T12:58:28.479-04:00

I'm happy with the sleeveless muscle tech t shirt. Plenty of ventilation with that, without being TOO revealing.

I decided to stop running topless after a warm summer run in college when I jogged past a little girl who burst into tears at the sight of my hairy chest. LOL ah so I stick with the t shirts now. I guess if you shave your body or you're genetically more "evolved" it would work.

2009-06-19T10:13:21.798-04:00

LMAO!

I'm all for shirtless as long as you have the body to go with it. :)

Where is the picture to go with this post? I say, if you have the abs, go for it. If I could lose a quarter in your belly button, keep the shirt on please.

2009-06-18T23:06:54.474-04:00

This is right about the time of year when I try to convince myself that my beer gut "isn't that bad" . . . and that I'd rather show off how many pints I've had over the winter months than die of heatstroke. As for men? I say go for it! I need some eye candy (or alternatively, somebody who will make me feel better about the state of my own abs!)

2009-06-18T19:21:55.070-04:00

I am okay with running sans shirt...if you can pull it off. I for one cannot. People like me (and in worse shape) should not run without a shirt.....if you can, go for it, more motivation for me to run...I hope to get back to a state where I can run without a shirt.

I am all for shirtless running - I can look if I like what I see, and turn myself if I don't. It's all good! Ana-Maria

2009-06-18T16:50:17.045-04:00

I'd rather a shirtless dude than one in one of those gay male sip-up running vest things, any day. Rippling sweaty muscles are just SO diet-coke-ad-HOTT.

And sclil to you, too whatever-T-F that means (word verification).

2009-06-18T16:49:14.957-04:00

He *says* he's sparsely populated in the chest hair department, but the reality is Nitmos is quite hirsute, and shaves his torso follicles into a carefully groomed heart.
I've seen it. And it's scary.

2009-06-18T15:32:38.794-04:00

Ya, just put on the tankini, and top it with a manzierre, and I think you will have a winning combination.

"Have you ever felt the warm summer air pass over the dimpled convex bumps of your exposed areola?"

We have a term for that here in Arizona. It's called Self-BBQing. Not recommended.

2009-06-18T14:12:33.012-04:00

I never knew that shirtless runners were discrimated against. The skinny guys on my college xc team did it all the time. They probably thought they were buff eye candy. Haaaa.

2009-06-18T13:58:02.541-04:00

You can wipe off the sweat in a sort of squeegee type hand movement. Then, wipe your salty wet hands on your shorts. Problem solved!

As long as you start running without a shirt on as soon as it is warm enough, you don't have to deal with sunscreen all summer long either. That is, unless you burn like a lobster.

2009-06-18T13:17:03.834-04:00

I run in just a sports bra this time of year, so I clearly vote for skin!

And to answer Razz's question: I wear a sweat band on my wrist. It serves to make me look badass AND wipe sweat.

2009-06-18T12:54:31.013-04:00

I just can't pull it off. My overall skin whiteness causes too many potential accidents and the world sunscreen supply would be depleted if I used it over my entire torso.

But if you can get away with it (and can put up with our condescending stares) go for it!
