Who This Collection Is For

This range suits anyone who runs, whether you're logging weekend 5Ks or training for your next marathon. Road runners will appreciate the reflective elements for early morning starts, whilst trail enthusiasts can rely on durable fabrics that handle rough terrain. If you're building your running wardrobe from scratch or upgrading worn-out favourites, you'll find the essentials here.

Beginners and experienced athletes alike benefit from technical running wear that performs consistently. These pieces work for interval sessions at the track, easy recovery runs through the park, or long weekend miles. Whatever your distance or pace, having reliable running gear removes one variable from your training equation.

When to Wear These Pieces

Pull on these running clothes whenever you're ready to move. They're designed for those pre-dawn training runs when visibility matters, midday sessions when temperature control is crucial, and evening workouts when you need layers that adapt. The hydration vests excel during long runs where carrying water and nutrition makes the difference, whilst windbreakers become essential when spring weather turns unpredictable.

Beyond dedicated running sessions, these pieces transition seamlessly into active recovery days and warm-ups before strength training. The 2-in-1 shorts work brilliantly for circuit training or outdoor bootcamps, and the lightweight tops layer perfectly under hoodies for cooler months. Versatile enough for various activities, focused enough for serious running.

Key Features

Moisture-Wicking Fabrics

Advanced technical materials draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you dry when intensity rises. The quick-drying construction means less weight from saturated fabric and more comfort over longer distances.

Reflective Details

Strategic reflective elements increase visibility during low-light conditions. Placed on key movement points, they catch headlights and street lamps to help keep you seen during early mornings and late evenings.

Functional Storage Solutions

The hydration vests feature multiple pockets positioned for easy access whilst running, holding gels, phones, and essentials without bounce. Zippered compartments keep valuables secure, whilst open pockets allow quick fuel grabs mid-stride.

Weather-Adaptive Design

Windbreakers provide a protective barrier against wind and light rain without adding bulk. Packable construction means you can stash them in a small pocket when conditions improve, then deploy them quickly when weather shifts.

FAQs

How do I choose the right size for running apparel?

Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements. Running gear should fit close enough to prevent chafing from excess fabric movement, but with enough room to move freely through your natural stride. For hydration vests, measure around your chest at the widest point and adjust straps for a snug fit that doesn't bounce. If you're between sizes, consider how you prefer your running clothes to fit—size down for a closer fit, up for more relaxed comfort.

What activities are these running clothes suitable for?

Whilst designed specifically for running, these pieces work brilliantly for any high-output activity. The shorts and tops perform well during circuit training, outdoor bootcamps, and cycling. Hydration vests are excellent for hiking, trail running, and ultra-distance events. Windbreakers serve equally well for walking, outdoor yoga, and layering during travel. The moisture-wicking properties and breathable construction make them versatile across various training styles.

How should I care for technical running fabrics?

Wash running gear in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the technical properties of the fabric. Avoid fabric softener, which can coat fibres and reduce moisture-wicking performance. Air drying is best, but if you use a dryer, choose low heat. For hydration vests, empty all pockets and unfasten all straps before washing. Treating your running apparel well extends its functional lifespan significantly.

Are the windbreakers packable for long runs?

Yes, the Velocity Windbreakers are designed to pack down into a compact bundle. You can stuff them into a hydration vest pocket, tie them around your waist, or carry them easily in hand. The lightweight construction means minimal added weight when you're carrying them, and they deploy quickly when weather conditions change mid-run.

Who designs Myprotein's running clothing?

Myprotein's in-house design team creates all our running apparel. They combine technical textile knowledge with real-world training experience to develop pieces that solve actual problems runners face. The team tests prototypes in various conditions and refines designs based on performance feedback before any item reaches the collection.

What makes the 2-in-1 shorts different from regular running shorts?

The dual-layer construction combines an outer short for coverage and storage with an inner compression layer that provides a secure, supportive feel. This design prevents the ride-up that can occur with single-layer shorts during intense movement. The inner layer also reduces friction, whilst the outer short includes practical features like zippered pockets for essentials.

Can I use the hydration vest for races and organised runs?

Absolutely. The hydration vest is designed for exactly these scenarios. Multiple pockets let you organize race nutrition, gels, and mandatory kit for ultra events. The vest sits close to your body to minimize bounce during sustained efforts, and the accessible pocket placement means you can grab fuel without breaking stride. Many runners use it for training runs to practice their race-day setup.

How do these pieces perform in different weather conditions?

The running clothes adapt well across seasons. Moisture-wicking fabrics work year-round to manage sweat, whilst windbreakers add a protective layer against spring and autumn chill without causing overheating. The 2-in-1 shorts provide versatility—the outer layer offers wind protection for cooler days, whilst the moisture-wicking inner layer handles hot summer sessions. Layer pieces strategically based on temperature and conditions for optimal comfort.
