It might be the hottest time of the year, but that’s not going to stop us! Channel the summer spirit by choosing bright, vivid colours and breathable wear that keeps you well ventilated.

Protect yourself from the sun with the Trail Dryer Cap, which is specially designed for extreme heat and humidity. Put on the breathable Lila Tank in a vivid dark pink, along with a simple black mesh running skort. Liven up the outfit with a boldly printed sports bra.

Ease into barefoot running with the signature Fivefingers shoes from Vibram. If you’re running under the sun, remember to bring along some sunblock!
