Gore makes more than waterproof
jackets and puddle-proof boots. The
Gore R5 Women’s Light Shorts are
fantastic bottoms if you don’t want
to wear a waist belt on your run.
The hidden pockets on the interior
liner’s legs are big enough for a car’s
heavy remote key fob—and there’s
no bouncing when you run. Plus, the
drawstring-less waistband is broad
and snug, and sits so high that you
can run with something as big as an
iPhone in the pockets without tug-
ging the shorts down. Best of all, the
longer liner almost completely elimi-
nates thigh chafing on long runs. $60NO ORDINARY TECH TEE
We love how this new workout shirt stands out without making you look like a neon maniac.
The New Balance Q Speed Breathe Short Sleeve has subtle styling details that add up: The
dipped hem brings a sports jersey vibe, the athletic cut complements the average runner’s
build, and then there’s the tiger camo. You either love it or you don’t, but come on, tiger
camo! The Q Speed’s lightweight mesh fabric breathes so well it feels like you’re practically
shirtless, and it dries as quickly as any tee we’ve tested. As a feel-good bonus, it’s made
from 34 percent recycled polyester. And reflective seams provide 360-degree visibility. $34SAFEST HEADPHONES
When we’re on the road with cars, we like to hear them coming. That’s why we’re
digging the new AfterShokz Aeropex, which use bone-conduction technology
to send sound waves through our cheekbones without blocking our ear canals.
This new version of one of our favorite pair of headphones has a slimmer design
and doesn’t vibrate annoyingly at loud volume. The Aeropex sounds better, too—
tunes are richer and slightly clearer when running along city streets. The head-
phones are IP67-rated, too, so they’ll survive a heavy sweat or a rainstorm, and
the battery lasts up to eight hours—enough for a week of heavy running. $160
