Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Solutions

Due to my work schedule, my preference to prioritize sleep and willingness to run no matter what, I often find myself running in adverse weather, and Singapore's weather in early May can be harsh. It was 32°C that morning, with high humidity and clear sky, so it felt like 37°C. I wanted to do my first long run since my last half-marathon, so I brought out my best thermal resistance gear. I call it my 'sunrunner' outfit.

In general, I wear white or very light colours to deflect thermal radiation, and synthetic material that are highly breathable and wicks sweat well.

From top to bottom:

Decathlon/Forclaz Desert Cap: Able to shield the head, face and neck from the sun. The neck flaps are useful.

Decathlon Headband: I wear a headband underneath the cap to help control sweat.

Hilx Samurai Sunglasses: Best out of all my sunglasses for a day like this due to sweatband and wide coverage.

Shokz OpenMove: Some music could act as metronome and motivates me.

DrSkin Compression Singlet: Korean brand. Good material for sweat wicking.

3M Arm Sleeves: Right side covers up to the knuckles. 3M is well-known for reliability.

Anta Wristband: Good for wiping sweat off my face.

Garmin 570 Watch: Very good for recording all stats on running.

Government Fitness Band: Rewards points for healthy living that I use to redeem isotonic drinks or others.

DrSkin Compressiom Shorts: Worn underneath for compression, anti-chaffing and sweat-wicking.

Decathlon Running Shorts: Has zipped pockets, good for storing my personal effects, or gels during races.

Unbranded Chinese leg sleeves: very thin, mainly good for deflecting radiation while being very breathable.

DrSkin Marathon Socks: Thick underneath, good for a tough, long day of running.

Hoka Bondi 9 (Wide): Max stack trainers, good for a long run. The colourway chosen is intentional.

Review and comparison running singlets for warmer weather

I hope my review and comparison of these 9 singlets will help some of you with picking a singlet for the warmer months. Tried to stick to the facts. But let me know if you have any more questions about them and I'll try to answer😄

Background: For some reason I escpecially suck at running in warmer temperatures. So every year I buy a few new singlets/tops/vest (or whatever you like to call them), hoping they are the holy grail of keeping me cooler.

SOAR Running Race Vest in rainbow, medium
Dry weight 39,56 gr - Wet weight 51,58 gr
Feeling: supple and light - Fit: comfortably skin tight, a bit short

Asics Metaspeed singlet in flash red, medium
Dry weight: 49,63 gr - Wet weight 57,31 gr
Feeling: a bit like mesh with holes. Not soft, even a bit scratchy - Fit: slim fit and skin tight with no stretch

Slow Sunday singlet in Sunny Lime, w100
Dry weight 51,35 gr- Wet weight 64,07 gr
Feeling: supple and light - Fit: perfectly loose and flowy, a little long

SAYSKY Flow Air singlet in Drip Dye, large
Dry weight 39,15 gr - Wet weight 49,41 gr
Feeling: mesh-y with holes. Very light, breezy and a bit soft - Fit: normal, didn't need to size up. A bit wide at the bottom

Ciele FST SINGLET-2 singlet in khaki, medium

Feeling: bit like a light cottony fabric - Fit: normal but loose on bottom

Tracksmith Van Cortlandt Singlet in Lavender, large
Dry weight 97,99 gr - Wet weight 111,20 gr
Feeling: thick fabric - Fit: on the smaller side I guess. That's why I sized up

Nike Dri-FIT Aeroswift singlet in white, medium

Feeling: bit like a cottony fabric. Not really soft - Fit: normal, follows the contours of the body

On RACE singlet in Flame, large
Dry weight 46,99 gr - Wet weight 59,50 gr
Feeling: thin like paper or viscose - Fit: a bit big. Not too long. Didn't have to size up I guess.

Feeling: smooth and supple - Fit: a little bit too big and long

Side notes
-I put all of the singlets in the washing machine at the same time. And weighed them directly after the cycle was done to see how they deal with moisture.
-I am usually a size medium. But I don't mind a singlet being a bit looser. So I also have a few larges in my closet. Usually pick a large if that is the only size left. Or if reviews say the singlet is extremely tight.

Satisfy Running and Currently running

-Satisfy Running Space-O 5” camo

-Currently Running M2 pro 5” lined shorts black

-CR has a brief liner, the liner is a bit tight, and liner has pockets. CR has two storage compartments (one with clip), and a small pocket in the lower back.

SR has some loops around the waist band. You can attach things like keys or whatever.

Overall, The material is identical. The only difference is really the liner & pockets. I also have the Space O tee and singlet. I haven’t been able to get the CR pro session tee since it’s sold out.

Anyone run in Uniqlo Dry Ex t shirts? Feedback on comfort for half marathons

I love my Patagonia capilene t shirts and use them for running but prices on those aren’t that friendly and looking for alts. Thought about these and wonder how they hold up for running

Plan to use it for my marathon training (8+ miles) and then the race to carry hydration and nutrition.

Goal is some gels and one or two 500ml soft flasks.

Hi r/apps,

https://apps.apple.com/app/runarc-gps-running-tracker/id6762566949

Solo iOS dev here. I got tired of running apps stuffed with social feeds, training plans, gear shops, and subscription paywalls in front of basic stats — so I spent the last months building RunArc, a stripped-down alternative.

The pitch is simple: open it, tap Run, and it tracks. No account, no onboarding wall, no notifications begging you to come back.

Core is free and ad-free — accurate Kalman-filtered GPS, voice cues for splits and pace, weekly stats, HealthKit sync, Apple Watch support, and a long-term challenge system to stay motivated. Premium unlocks cloud backup, full history, GPX export, and the harder challenge ranks — but the tracker itself doesn't get crippled if you don't pay.

There's also a 5-rank challenge ladder — from beginner-easy to genuinely brutal — that you climb over months as you keep running.

Built it mobile-first, dark-first, privacy-first. No data leaves your device unless you opt in.

Would love honest feedback from this community — UI, naming, anything that feels off. And if a few of you give it a try on your next run, that genuinely means a lot. 🙏

Running outfit 05/09/26

Hylo Impact Shoes

Bandit Socks '26 member colorway

Lululemon Negative Split textured run short *reflective

Lululemon fast and free run belt

Tour shirt from the Bald and Beautiful live

A random unbranded UPF 50 Shirt

Sprints hat

Sunglasses from target

Wanted to try something new on my first run out of a training block so went for vibes and ended up feeling so good in this fit.

Heads up these shorts are lowkey annoying to run in, they ride up and back and all sorts of ways. But I still love them just maybe not for longer runs

Dynafish in the US

Just bought these, they’re a us company. Super excited I’ve heard dynafish is even better than the evo which I have and love. They still have some stock left

Hi guys,

I’m looking for a good pair of half tights but with a bit of modesty too (maybe a liner?)? What’s the best options? I have two pairs of Soar which are great but looking for other options and what else is out there?

I am a male for context.

Thanks!

Soar Running recommendations?

Hi All,

Currently own a few Soar bits and love the range but wondered if anyone recommended anything from there uses?

I currently have:
x 2 race vests (one club and one 2.0 from the new range)
Run Shorts - not a massive fan, I find they ride up a little too much
Eco Tech T - really like this piece, wear it most days whenever I can get it out the wash!
Crew socks - added to a bundle, don’t think they’re any better than Shyu personally but not terrible

Thanks!

I’m considering getting the rippy cordura trail shorts. I’m always running in shorts with liners to get around chafing issues. This however wears down the liners of my shorts I’ve been running with, mostly adidas and Nikes, and makes small holes in the liner rending them useless.

Are the shorts from satisfy more durable or is the hefty price tag simply because of the fashion and light weight?

Red/burgundy unlined half tights with storage

I usually run in the unlined Janji trail half tights and I love all the pockets they offer, but I’d like a red or burgundy pair and have searched a lot of the brands I see recommended here (Janji, Nike/ACG Lavaloops, Tracksmith, Bandit, Currently, etc.) and can’t quite find what I’m looking for.

Can anyone recommend an unlined men’s half tight with storage that’s either red or burgundy? 🙏🏼

Looking for brands that do some not only practical but also stylish running gear for women. Maybe a bit off the beaten track. I value high quality, durability and pockets a lot :)

Thanks a lot!
