A SMALL TOOL FOR THE POST-RUN STRUGGLE
You did the hard miles. A sweaty shirt shouldn't be the next challenge. Meet ShirtLift by Fitness Paws—a simple tool that helps lift your shirt from the back.
Created by a trail runner. Kept in the running bag.

A LITTLE REACH GOES A LONG WAY
The tool helps with the part that's hard to reach. Lift the back of your shirt, then finish taking it off by hand.

Pass the tool beside your ear and over your shoulder. Catch underneath the back bottom hem with the hook.

Lift the handle upward to raise the back of the shirt away from your body.

Use your free hand to finish pulling the shirt off. Put the tool back in your bag for next time.

BUILT FROM A REAL FRUSTRATION
“I could finish a long trail run.
Taking off my shirt was another story.
After long trail runs, sweat made my shirt cling to my body. Pulling from the front collar didn't always work. I'd roll the shirt up from the back, then the sides, then the front—and repeat.
So I made a tool to reach the back hem and lift it. A wooden dowel, a vinyl-coated hook, and a washer. Simple parts, put together to solve a problem I kept having.
Now it stays in my gym bag or running bag. I'm developing it through Fitness Paws LLC so other runners and gym users can try it, too.

Not yet. We're preparing a small-batch launch. Our planned launch price is $9.99 plus shipping. Orders are not open yet. Email shirtlift@fitnesspaws.com to ask about availability; no payment is requested.
Our first focus is shirt removal. Other clothing uses have not been validated, so we're keeping the instructions focused on shirts.
Move slowly and gently, catch the fabric rather than skin, and stop if the shirt snags or movement is uncomfortable. Check that the hook is secure and the coating and wood are intact before use. It requires reaching over your shoulder.
