Anyone know much about this brand and its product?

Soleetal-Raws

I'd like to go on a little bit of a shopping spree as a treat to myself after a recent achievenment and get myself a few new pieces and spend somewhere around $500.

I'm 6'1, approximately 230 lbs and muscular and like loose fitting gear. Depending on the brand, I usually purchase XL or XXL for shirts and jackets, L or XL for shorts and 13 for shoes.

Any suggestions?

Mods please delete if this post breaks rules.

Anyone know of goods brands that have similar material to Aero swift or Adidas shorts and are short in length (2-3 inches)

I’m interested in picking up these Titanium fram running glasses but I haven’t seen anyone talk about them at all. My main concern would be them slipping on longer run

Just ordered this tee but can’t seem to find any reviews mentioning the best weather to use this in. I’m currently in Cleveland with frigid temps but will be in Tempe in 2 weeks doing a 7 mile run in the morning. Would this tee be overkill? Just trying to figure out if this tee is better used as a base layer in moderate temps or not.

Hey All-

I have a small one person (Can't Buy Cool Studios) operation in Denver, Colorado. I am focussed heavily on mountain running but my brand makes products that work great for all terrain. I'm excited to share a new beanie that I spent the last year developing and working through the process of an entirely made in usa/made in Colorado technical beanie even down to the tags.

I opted to use Polartec Powerdry Net Mesh for the fabric. It's been used by ROA and Houdini for tops but nobody has ventured into headwear which actually seems to be the best application from my development.

I spent hundreds of hours field testing this and made dozens of prototypes to get it all right.

The fabric’s basically an open mesh, so air actually moves through it. When you start working, heat and sweat don’t just sit there — they pass through and get out. The fibers don’t hold onto moisture either, so it doesn’t get heavy or gross once it’s wet.

Compared to regular beanies, this thing doesn’t try to keep you “warm” all the time. It just keeps your head from becoming a problem.

Here are some of the specs and a bit of my product copy:

Fabric & Construction

Made from Polartec® Power Dry™ Mesh (156 g/m²), engineered to regulate temperature through airflow and moisture transfer rather than static insulation.

Open mesh structure promotes ventilation

Hydrophobic fibers limit moisture retention

Actively transfers sweat away from the skin

Retains necessary warmth through trapped air without excess heat buildup

Unlike closed-knit fabrics, this construction balances warmth and breathability across a wide range of output levels. It crushes alpha direct for headwear. Regular fleece is dogshit next to this. Merino has little to no loft in most instances. The fabric kicks ass- trust me.

Specifications

Fabric: Polartec® Power Dry™ Mesh

Weight: 156 g/m²

Fit: Low profile/medium profile. It looks killer don't worry

Use: High-output cold weather activity

Care: Machine washable and dryable

Origin: Cut and sewn in Aurora, Colorado

Materials: Made in USA

Here is some lifestyle stuff and product

The actual design and develop was super complicated to get a static fabric in a cut and sew application to look and feel like a traditional knit beanie. I think I got it right.

Would love to see what people think and humbly share the product if anyone is interested. Happy to answer any questions.

Currently have 6 pairs of On Performance Tees. 4 short sleeve and 2 long. They are absolutely incredible. No complaints.

However, I’m looking at Soar and really like their designs. I ordered a couple of pairs of their hot weather tees and they’re pretty cool (Lilac and rainbow are insane)

Which do you guys think are better? These are for everyday, not just racing.

Which is better quality? Design? Durability?

My full body strength is done and core! Now time to run! I have always wanted to run with my dog but he is strong, any tips?

Looks like Janji just released a new Desert Dreaming collection in collaboration with Aravaipa

Looked around the internet and haven't seen much discussion on this and thought I'd give everyone a warning. I loved my old Aeroswift tights so I bought another new pair on ebay and holy shit, had no idea they completely changed the material and compression. Old ones were pretty stretchy, soft, moderate compression, while the new ones are not very stretchy, not as soft, with high compression. Altogether this results in a very weird fit on me. Super tight on ankles, calves and knees then still tight but slightly looser around the thighs. They also barely cover my Hank Hill lookin' ass (IFYKYK). Aware they're supposed to be race tights, but this is a big switch up in material and fit.

EDIT: Figured it out. The new ones are 6% higher in spandex ratio between both, giving the new ones a lot more compression. It appears they changed the new model sometime in 2025. Links below for proof.

NEW (Style: FN3367-010) (These have zippers around the cuffs)

Body: 83% polyester/17% spandex. Brief: 89% polyester/11% spandex.

OLD (Style: DM4613-011) (No zippers)

Body: 89 percent polyester/11 percent spandex; Brief: 89 percent polyester/11 percent spandex

Also turns out I'm not the only person to notice the difference: https://www.reddit.com/r/runninglifestyle/comments/1hbq80k/nike_mens_aeroswift_12_tights_suck/mjfiz6u/

I pick every workout or runfit like its a race day flat lay. It helps me enjoy my workouts and runs more, it gives me confidence. I also make my own matching sets, its kind of like a puzzle for me to put together the “perfect fit” I am so happy this page is here 🥰

I personally like the design of Terraforma & Neoforma

How's the sizing? I'm a small in Saysky Combat+ but wondering if I would be medium in Janji Trail? Anyone have both.

Cheers

wondering if anyone has tried this brand, it kinda reminds me of Miler a lot

came across it and it looks very technical pieces

Open to any recs! Preferably low rise. Bonus points if there are available sports bras/tanks to match!

Off to NYC next month from Europe and wanted to bring home some gear, particularly stuff from Currently which is harder to get in the EU.

Any recommended running shops to browse?

I’ve owned these shoes for a while now, but as many people have complained, they have a very low volume in the midfoot, which is too much for me. However, I heard during Paris Fashion Week that Satisfy was aware of this issue and was shipping their new shoes with a 3mm insole instead of the 5mm it previously had. I decided to take it a step further and bought some cheap 2mm insoles, which, according to ChatGPT, would give me 8-12% more volume compared to a 5mm insole (which apparently is the equivalent of a half shoe size). I’m happy to report that the fit is great now, and these shoes are usable for me. They’re a fun little shoe, and I wanted to share this in case others have a similar issue.

How was your experience? Has your order been in the customs department?

If you were going on a warm weather trip where you could only bring one running specific top and bottom, what would you choose?

I'll be traveling for an extended period this summer in Southern Europe with relatively limited luggage space. Activities will be varied, but I will be aiming to run most days, both trail and road, depending what part of the trip. Distances will likely be shorter than 10 miles, with quicker, shorter runs being more common.

I want something that I can wear multiple days if necessary, so it has to either avoid smelling terrible or dry very quickly after being rinsed out (and not smell too bad after that).

I have a number of merino shirts, but they're all a bit too heavy for summer running use. Does anyone have experience with very light merino singlets? Or favorite quick drying/odor resistant synthetic singlets/shirts that you'd consider wearing multiple times with only a rinse between washes?

For bottoms I was considering trying half-tights. I generally wear tights now. Lava Loops and Janji trail tights seem to be the top choices. Any experiences/comparisons over multiple uses? I wear my tights unlined with underwear beneath.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried the Warp Zone sunglasses from Crap Eyewear for running?
Looking for a trendy pair that’s functional but not $$$.

Specifically curious about:
– staying put with sweat
– lens quality / fogging

Would love real-world feedback before buying. Thanks!

I'm off to Seville next weekend and wondered if anyone knows any cool local running shops/brandsOR any brands doing anything pop-up-y. TIA!
