Summer Running Gear FAQs

How do I choose the best running uppers for high temperatures?

Between April 27 and August 30, heat management is the priority for any athlete. Our summer selection focuses on ultra-lightweight fabrics with mesh ventilation zones placed in high-perspiration areas to ensure rapid moisture evaporation and core temperature stability. ... The technical reason for choosing specialized running uppers over standard cotton is the hydrophobic nature of polyester, which pushes sweat to the outer layer rather than absorbing it.

How do I maintain my running gear during peak season?

High-turnover training requires consistent maintenance to preserve fabric elasticity and shoe cushioning. If you are camping at summer festivals, rinse your technical uppers in cold water to remove salt and sweat as soon as possible. The technical "why" behind our summer range is the use of flat-lock seams, which reduce friction against the skin during high-mileage weeks. Proper care ensuring that moisture is moved away from the skin efficiently will help you stay focused on your splits, regardless of the heat or humidity encountered during your training sessions.
