Dakine Yo Whale T-Shirt
June 8, 2009
Yeah, it's a T-shirt, and a T-shirt's a T-shirt, but if you're going to wear a T-shirt, why wouldn't you wear one with a whale on it? Better yet, a bright pink whale? Even better yet, a supercool bright pink whale who spouts a heart and says "yo!" ? Yeah, it's a T-shirt, but it's a whale of a T-shirt!
The "Yo Whale" T-shirt is pre-shrunk, 100 % cotton, machine washable; all the good stuff that a T-shirt should be. The women's T-shirt from Dakine is nicely flattering without being too tight or overly girly. Much like a pink whale with a heart-spout and an 80s street vocabulary, the shirt itself presents a nice balance of feminine, tough, and funky. Speaking of tough, I've put the T-shirt through the wash a dozen times, and it still looks perfect. Having had issues with other large, thick prints cracking in the wash, I'm happy to report this one remains solid. Solid as a whale!
The Dakine "Yo Whale" T-shirt is not bike specific - in fact, I think I've heard it said that a woman needs a Yo Whale shirt like a fish needs a bicycle - or something. But, what fish doesn't look more styling on a bicycle? Similarly, the "Yo Whale" will make you look styling on your bicycle!
One last thing. Friends and strangers will be tempted to respond to the what with a "Yo" of thier own. I am undecided as to whether this should be listed as a pro or a con.
