FAQs
How do I choose the right size for running gear?
Running clothing typically fits true to size, but check the specific size guide for each item as fits can vary between styles. For layers like windbreakers, many runners prefer a slightly looser fit to wear over base layers, whilst compression pieces should feel snug without restricting movement. If you're between sizes, consider whether you prefer a closer or more relaxed fit for your training style.
Can I machine wash my running clothes?
Yes, all items in this collection are machine washable. Wash technical fabrics on a cool cycle (30°C) and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce the moisture-wicking properties. Turn garments inside out to protect any reflective details, and air dry rather than tumble drying to maintain the fabric's performance characteristics and extend the life of your running wear.
What makes running socks different from regular sports socks?
Running socks feature specific cushioning zones that protect high-impact areas like heels and balls of feet. They're designed with seamless toe construction to prevent blisters during repetitive motion, and often include arch support and ventilation channels. The fabrics wick moisture more effectively than standard cotton socks, reducing friction and keeping your feet dry throughout your run.
Do I need a hydration vest for all my runs?
Hydration vests become essential for runs lasting over an hour, especially in warm weather or when you're training at distances where you can't easily access water. They're particularly useful for trail running where water fountains aren't available, and during long training runs when you need to carry nutrition alongside fluids. For shorter runs or routes with regular water stops, a handheld bottle or running belt might suffice.
Who designed these running clothes?
These pieces were created by Myprotein's in-house design team, who combine technical knowledge with real-world running experience. The team focuses on functional details that matter to runners, from pocket placement to fabric selection, ensuring each item delivers genuine performance benefits rather than just looking the part.
Will the reflective details stay visible after multiple washes?
The reflective elements are designed to withstand regular washing when you follow the care instructions. Washing inside out on a gentle cycle helps preserve the reflective material's integrity. Whilst some natural fading may occur over extensive use, the reflective features maintain their visibility for the practical lifespan of the garment when cared for properly.
Can I wear these pieces for other workouts besides running?
Absolutely. The moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable construction make these items excellent for any cardio-based activity, from cycling to rowing to HIIT classes. The windbreakers work brilliantly for outdoor cycling, the socks perform well in any athletic shoe, and the hydration vests adapt easily to hiking or long-distance walking. The versatile designs mean you'll get plenty of use beyond just running sessions.
How do I stop my hydration vest from bouncing during runs?
Adjust the chest and waist straps so the vest sits snug against your body without restricting breathing. Load heavier items like water bottles symmetrically to balance the weight, and tighten any compression straps once everything's packed. The vest should feel secure enough that it moves with you rather than against you – if it's bouncing, it's likely too loose or unevenly loaded.
