Warm weather is coming and most of our summer apparel is now in stock, come early for the
best selection!
Keeping comfortable in warm or cool conditions is key to your enjoyment of running through the spring and summer. The right moisture management and layering of apparel will help you stay comfortable and let you focus on your run instead on the tempurature. Keep avoiding cotton apparel because it can get heavy with moisture acting like an evaporative cooler and can be abrasive against your skin.
Remember, don't overdress. If you feel comfortable just standing outside you are going to warm up after a mile or two of running or walking, and that jacket may end up around your waist. You will learn with a little experience what to wear and how to layer. Covering or exposing head, neck, and hands helps in regulating your temperature. Half-zip tops and zip vests and jackets also make it easier to let out excess heat.
For most cool weather running you will be fine with a good snug base layer and a thermal 1/2 zip top, and thermal tights or pants. A headband will keep your ears warm and allow excess heat out the top. When the wind is blowing a vest and a headband will keep the chill out.
For warm conditions wear lightweight and perhaps light-colored tops. Light-colored running hats will help keep your head cool on sunny days. Hi-Viz apparel will keep you safe and seen in low-viz conditions.
We
have a great selection of both men's and women's apparel. We hope
that our selection is varied enough that you will be able
to find what you are looking for. Let us know if there
is anything else you would like us to carry.
