SEPTEMBER 2019 RUNNERSWORLD.COM/UK 083- Columbia FKT
Wind Jacket
£70, columbiasportswear.co.uk
The nylon weave of this
wafer-thin jacket is
extremely tough, so it
will cope nicely with any
off-piste excursions into
abundant undergrowth
(you meant to run through
that thorny hedge, right?).
It also offers surprisingly
good protection from
wind and water, and can
be easily packed away
into its own pocket if the
temperature rises. - The North Face
BTN SS Tee
£55, thenorthface.com
If the UK had a more
temperate climate (and,
who knows, it may be on
the way), we’d wear this
T-shirt all year round. It has
a delightfully ‘barely there’
feel and a fit that’s slim
but not athletic. It dries in
a flash, is very breathable
and generally does its
job with admirable
efficiency. Sometimes
less is definitely more. - Zaazee Ashley II Skort
£50, zaazee.co.uk
Skorts are certainly having a
moment in the trail-running
world, with many runners
opting for the combination
of freedom of movement
and femininity they offer.
This one from Zaazee has a
super-soft weave on the
under-short layer, a wide
waistband to disperse
pressure and a stretchy
outer skirt that comes to
mid-thigh length. - On Weather Shirt
£100, on-running.com
This highly stretchable
long-sleeve top has
a high neckline and thick
yarn to help protect against
the elements, as well an
asymmetrical zip and button
system that allows you
to change it to a flap-free
V-neck. There are also
laser-cut ventilation holes
all the way up the back,
which will keep you cool
and composed when the
going gets tough.
