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.
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.
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.
adidas covers almost the entire outfit, from the Adizero top to winter tights. Dare 2B offers tops and layers for running in nature, Mizuno provides tops, shorts, and jackets for the road. Under Armour and Joma complete the selection of training tops and shorts, while Elite Lab adds outfits designed for endurance sports. Many specialised brands, from compression wear to technical socks, allow you to refine every piece of your outfit.
If you already know what you need, head over to the dedicated pages: t-shirts and tops, shorts, leggings and trousers, or jackets and windbreakers for windy and rainy days. They are all gathered on the men's clothing page.
To update your outfit without breaking the bank, check the running sales and the trail running sales. The clearance activities feature end-of-line items, and the new arrivals showcase the latest collections.
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.
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.
Choose fitted clothing with flat seams, seamless running socks, and apply anti-chafing cream on sensitive areas.
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.
It carries your phone, keys, or gels around your waist without the bouncing of a short pocket or the weight of a bag.
