Running Clothing & Gear Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best clothes for running?

The best clothes for running will depend on the temperature and weather conditions you are running in, but you should always focus on clothes that provide comfort, durability, and flexibility. You should also look for running clothing designed to be breathable, reflective and chafe-free. Synthetic materials will provide the best quick-drying, moisture-wicking and heat retention capabilities while remaining lightweight and unrestrictive. Another benefit of these materials is they offer good protection from weather conditions, moisture and wear and tear from various terrains. Don’t forget to look for storage pockets that can fit essential items without disrupting your workout.

Why shouldn't you run in cotton?

While cotton can be comfortable for short runs, it is not an ideal fabric to run in because it traps moisture against the skin, which can lead to skin irritation, blistering and chafingchafing. Plus, the added absorption causes you to feel hot & sweaty in warm conditions and cold & damp in lower temperatures. To make matters worse, cotton is typically heavier than synthetic materials and the weight increases dramatically when wet. It’s also a very slow-drying material and does not offer the same performance properties as synthetic fibers.

Should I wear a jacket while running?

The right running jacket can make a big difference to your performance. They are recommended in certain types of temperatures, weather conditions, terrains and other environmental exposures. Jackets provide protection from the elements, blocking out wind and rain while offering heat retention against cold weather, reflectivity in low-light situations, and storage for smaller essentials. Altogether, jackets can provide runners physical and psychological benefits. It’s important that running jackets be made of synthetic materials that are moisture-wicking, lightweight, breathable and durable so your running performance is not compromised in challenging climate conditions.
