Great shirt, but beware the Nipple Chafer! 😂
UPDATE 28/08/26: Credit where it's due ! — Parkes Running contacted me almost immediately after this review appeared. They explained that I'd inadvertently used their UK returns portal rather than the international one, apologised for the confusion and immediately issued a full refund for the shirt.
That's excellent customer service and has completely restored my confidence — so much so that I've just placed another €150 order, this time with all the tops in Medium! 😂
I've changed my rating to 5 stars to reflect how well they dealt with the problem recognising that all of their kit is excellent! I'm leaving my original review below because I think the sizing comparison may still be useful to other runners.
Next stage: the Medium gets a proper long-run Nipple Chafer Test. If it passes, I'll wear it for my October marathon and add the finish-line photographic evidence! 🏃♂️😂 - Thanks Sarah, Thanks Ben! Lets GET IT DONE,
Original review below:
I really like the design and quality of this shirt, but a warning about sizing. The photo shows my Parkes Running Large alongside my Decathlon Large. Both say L on the label, but the Parkes shirt is considerably more generously cut.
That’s fine on a shorter run, but once I’m properly sweaty on a long run, the extra movement across the chest unfortunately turns it into what I call a “Nipple Chafer.”
I did try to exchange it. I submitted a return through the Parkes Running return system and received confirmation saying my request would be reviewed and that a return label would follow if approved. Unfortunately, I never received anything further, so I still have the shirt - probably to do with being out of UK.
That’s particularly frustrating because I like all the other kit I ordered
So a sizing tip for other runners: if you normally wear a Decathlon Large, or simply prefer a closer running fit, I’d seriously consider sizing down in Parkes Running Tops.
I’m training for a marathon in October and would have loved to wear this on race day — but 42.2 km is rather too far to gamble on a confirmed Nipple Chafer! 😂

First Timer - great start!
I am gearing up to run a marathon in Chiang Mai, Thailand on the 8th of November. I’m on week 3 of this plan and it is doing a great job of introducing me to different pacings and distances. I am not an experienced runner, I’ve only done one half marathon before. This plan is extremely accessible and gets you going immediately! Could not recommend more highly.

Bucket List Hat!
Great hat! Well made and so light compared to other hats. The lightweight fabric and mesh panels help with not holding in too much heat, but yet protect the head and eyes. Also makes a great gift!

Great socks!
I have several pairs of BP Running Socks, which are thicker and ideal for colder weather, and o bought these Racing Socks to try for the summer/warmer months. They fit the bill (and my feet) perfectly! Another happy runner.

Another great BP Cap!
I have a collection of BP caps and I am pleased to add this to it. Bought for both running and casual on holiday. I’d say it’s a smaller head size than my others, so ideal if you’re on the smaller size, but there’s also plenty of adjustment if you’re a bit bigger. Happy with my purchase.
