Gear
Pumpkin spiced lattes, cool, brisk mornings and the sweet stillness in the air are all signs of a changing season coming in strong. They’re also signs of every runners’ favorite autumn running weather on the horizon. Whether you used the summer heat to take a break from hitting the pavement or you powered through race training, changing leaves also signal a welcome return to fall running.
Having the right running gear can help you step outdoors with ease and embrace the swift changes of chilling temperatures. We’ve curated the best seasonal running gear to help you lace up and hit your stride.

Accessories to Enhance your Run
Balega Ultraglide socks
Get into these Ultraglide socks from Balega. We love these vibrant (but no-show) socks because they have cushion built into them. They are also made with PFTE (a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene), which means less friction for your feet and less blistering. Get on your feet and in those streets!

With a 2 point adjustment system, you can quickly alter the waist and bust separately, customizing the fit for your body. This 4-Liter vest also has side pockets for gel packs or snacks. Win!
GoodR sunglasses
Less sun doesn’t mean you won’t need to protect those eyes. Have a worry-free run in the sun with a pair of GoodR no-slip, all-grip, frames.

Sprints hat
Put some pizazz in your running wardrobe with these quirky hats from Sprints. These runners' hats come in a variety of vibrant prints (yes, that’s a pickle hat). These caps will not only put a smile on your face, but also keep your next run sweat- and sun-free.
How We Picked the Best Running Clothes
There are some easy things to look for when choosing the best running clothes: technical fabrics are better than cotton when it comes to wicking sweat and keeping you dry, and athletic cuts keep clothes streamlined for easier movement.
Finding the best running clothes for you, though, comes down to personal preference and style. Like the best running shoes, there are lots of different things to think about.
Are you most comfortable in 2” split shorts or do you want more coverage from the 7” pair? How many pockets do you need? We got you covered.
We picked the best running clothes to span a wide range of fits and styles while maintaining premium materials and excellent quality.
