TRAIL RUNNING CLOTHING
READ: THE BEST FABRICS FOR A COMFORTABLE RUN / WHAT TO WEAR RUNNING IN THE RAIN
Off-road running calls for gear that can handle mud, rain, and climbs without distraction. Our trail running shorts and tights are made from robust, flexible materials that resist snags and abrasions from trail hazards. On cooler days, base layers and weatherproof shells help regulate temperature and shield you from biting winds or showers.
Fit makes a real difference on the trail. Looser cuts offer airflow for summer runs, while closer fits reduce drag and prevent snagging on rough ground. Reflective elements help increase visibility during early starts or late finishes, and thoughtful details like zipped pockets keep small items safe and easy to reach.
For most trail runs, pair a breathable running top with quick-drying shorts or tights, plus a lightweight jacket if the weather looks changeable. Add running socks that reduce blisters and a hat or buff for sun and wind protection.
Trail running clothes use tougher, fast-drying fabrics and often include extra features like secure pockets, reflective details, and weather-resistant panels. These details help you stay dry, seen, and organised when you are off-road for longer.
Waterproof jackets keep heavy rain out for longer, while water-resistant layers shed light showers and drizzle. If you run in the hills or in very wet conditions, a waterproof shell makes sense; for shorter or milder runs, a water-resistant jacket is usually enough.
Trail running clothing is designed for both men and women, with tailored fits to ensure comfort and support. Women’s options often include specific sports bras and more contoured cuts, while men’s gear may offer broader shoulders or longer inseams for optimal fit and performance.
Look for synthetic or merino blends that wick sweat away from your skin and dry quickly. These fabrics help reduce chafing, keep you feeling fresher for longer, and work well with layers in cooler weather.
Reflective trims and logos help you stand out near roads or on shared paths in low light. Bright or contrasting colours can also increase visibility at dawn, dusk, or in poor weather, adding an extra layer of safety to your trail kit.
