Men's running textiles

Putting together a running outfit is done piece by piece, from head to toe. This men's running gear includes tops, shorts, leggings, waterproof jackets, and technical socks, as well as hats, headbands, and belts, so you can run comfortably in hot, cold, or rainy weather.

From head to toe, a complete outfit

Start from the top: a snug technical top, then a jacket if the weather calls for it. On the bottom, shorts for the nice weather, or tights or leggings when it's cold. Running socks, often overlooked, help prevent blisters on long runs. Finally, a beanie or headband keeps you warm in winter, and a running belt carries keys and phone without bouncing around. A cap protects against both sun and rain, and some runners add compression socks for long runs.

Rain, cold, heat: what changes in your outfit

In the rain, a breathable waterproof jacket makes a difference, with a cap to keep your eyes dry. In freezing temperatures, layer a lightweight moisture-wicking base layer with a warm top, and don't forget your hands and ears. In the heat, go for very lightweight fabrics, light colours, and short shorts that allow for ventilation.

Frequently asked questions

Shorts or tights for running in mid-season?

As long as you're warm within the first few minutes, shorts are comfortable. Tights take over when the cold makes your legs stiff at the start.

Do you need a waterproof jacket for running?

If you often run in the rain, yes. A water-repellent windbreaker is enough for short showers, but it eventually lets in water on a longer run.

How to avoid chafing on a long run?

Choose fitted clothing with flat seams, seamless running socks, and apply anti-chafing cream on sensitive areas.

Beanie or headband for winter running?

The headband protects your ears while letting heat escape from the top of your head, ideal when you heat up quickly. The beanie is suitable for extreme cold.
