Lululemon Tech Short Sleeve

There’s nothing worse than a gym shirt than clings when you sweat. Lululemon’s metal vent tech t-shirt in a slim-to-relaxed fit is a breathable and seamless short sleeve shirt that showcases the Canadian sports brand's open-hole mesh fabric technology, promoting airflow and an “anti-stink technology”—perfect if you’re the heavy sweater and super smelly post-run.

Stance Storm Trooper Socks

Graphic prints (and playful socks) are big this season, and Stance is offering its Fusion Run sock range in a galactic Star Wars print with a white Storm Trooper face on each foot.

These socks offer mesh vents that wrap from the top of the foot to the arch to enhance breathability, while Stance's Air Channel Cushioning uses an articulated footbed to increase padding and airflow.

Patagonia Fleece Hoody

If you’re more of an outdoor exerciser than gym body, Patagonia’s R1 regulator fleece jacket offers insulation against that early winter morning chill and lightness (just 350 grams) so you’re wearing a jacket that won’t add weight to your run. 

Snug fitting and in a striking cobalt blue, there’s even a balaclava-style hood and chin holder to for extra support. Just pull this on one and run, Forrest, run.
