180 CATALYST SHIRT
For runners constantly looking for the ultimate odor eater, the Catalyst is a moisture-wicking baselayer that manages to take the stink out of the long haul. For a quick-dry shirt, it has a surprisingly soft feel that eliminates some usual chafing. And key for our editor, who is an excessive sweater, were the wipe panels integrated into shirt’s forearms. $60.
ULTIMATE DIRECTION STRIDER
For female runners looking to cover a lot of ground, the Strider has a contoured hip fit perfect for a woman’s shape, while holding an easily accessible 20-oz. squeeze bottle and room for a little storage. $30.
THE NORTH FACE HYDROGEN JACKET
Don’t like layers weighing you down? No need to fret with the ultralight Hydrogen, which at 3.1 ounces is an untraceable weapon against wind and light rain. Made from featherweight ripstop nylon, it folds up into a tiny pouch, so it will barely make a dent in your hydro-pack on long runs. $99.
BROOKS REVELATION PACER SHORT
If work keeps you at the office past dark, but you still need to get a run in, the Revelation Pacer will be your safety net. Even the visually impaired couldn’t miss the nuclear neon yellow color of these quick-drying, lightweight shorts. $32.
BROOKS HVAC T
Talk about innovation. This shirt essentially has an air conditioning system, as it transfers moisture to its side vented areas to keep you feeling light and cool when you’re running under the Southern sun. The shirt’s fibers are also coated with an odor eater, so you can stop being the smelly dude on group runs. $57.95.
