Running clothes
Running is an activity that combines simplicity and high standards, especially when it comes to choosing the right clothing to optimize performance and comfort. For an advanced runner, every detail counts, from the breathability of the fabric to the ergonomic design of the garments. This guide is designed to provide you with technical advice on selecting the right running gear for men who take their training seriously. Find our best men's sportswear and other outdoor clothing.
1. Understanding the importance of suitable materials
The choice of materials is crucial for any sportswear, and particularly for running, where moisture management and thermoregulation are essential. Synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon are preferred because they wick moisture away from the skin and dry quickly. These synthetic fabrics are also appreciated for their wear-resistance and elasticity, offering essential freedom of movement.
Another option is polypropylene, which does not retain moisture, making it particularly suitable for base layers in direct contact with the skin. For runners who prefer natural materials, merino wool is an excellent alternative. It regulates temperature, neutralizes odors naturally and offers exceptional comfort, although it can be more expensive and less durable than synthetics.
2. Select clothing according to season
Clothing for summer running
In summer, prefer lightweight, breathable, quick-drying clothing. T-shirts and tank tops should fit snugly but not too tightly, allowing adequate ventilation. Men's running shorts come in two main styles: fitted and floaty. Fitted models, often made from compressive fabric, support muscles without restricting movement, while floaty shorts offer greater freedom of movement.
Clothing for winter running
For the cold months, layering is key. Start with a high-performance base layer in breathable material, then add an insulating mid-layer like a lightweight merino wool or polyester sweater before opting for a wind- and water-resistant jacket like those offered by Dynafit. Tights are also essential to avoid injury from the cold.
3. Details that make all the difference
Additional features can greatly enhance your experience:
- Ventilation: Strategic zones significantly increase comfort in hot weather.
- Pockets: Secure pockets allow you to carry your essentials without discomfort.
- Flat seams: They reduce the risk of irritation over long distances.
- Reflective elements: Make sure your clothing has reflective elements for your safety on night runs.
