Choose Running Apparel for the Way You Train

Good running apparel should help you stay comfortable without distracting from the run. For warm South African conditions, lightweight tops, tanks and shorts can help with airflow and moisture management. For cooler mornings, winter training and changeable weather, tights and lightweight jackets add useful coverage.

Running Shorts, Tights and Tops

Running shorts are a versatile starting point for daily training and race day. Tights provide closer-fitting coverage for cooler conditions or runners who prefer a supportive feel. Technical tops and tanks are designed around movement and ventilation, while sports bras should be selected according to fit, support preference and session intensity.

On and 2XU Running Apparel

On combines a clean performance aesthetic with technical running shorts, tights, tanks, bras and lightweight layers. 2XU is particularly well known for compression and performance training apparel, with selected shorts, tights and jackets suited to runners who value close-fitting support and practical construction.

Build a Complete Running Kit

Start with the conditions you run in most often, then build around a few versatile pieces. Pair breathable tops and shorts for warmer sessions, add tights or a light jacket for cooler weather, and choose socks and accessories that match your distance and terrain. Match the rest of the kit with road or trail footwear suited to your training.
