quickly drying running clothes
Permalink Closed

I'm looking for some quick-dry running clothes for an upcoming trip.  I only want to pack 2 running outfits, and want to be able to wash them in the sink when I'm done (heck, if I could just take one running outfit, that would be fine too.)

any recommendations?

Any of the technical, non-cotton running wear will be relatively quick-drying. I would recommend shopping at a running-dedicated store (I'm not sure what's available to you), rather than somewhere like Big 5 or another of those sporting goods stores. Some of my favorite brands are Sugoi and Asics. If you look at the tags they'll say things like moisture-wicking and quick-drying. Also, if you can find fabrics that contain silver, they REALLY cut down on smell. I've also heard good things about technical bamboo fabrics.

When is your trip? If you have time to order online, I'd recommend either www.roadrunnersports.com or www.sportsbasement.com.

When I travel I typically pack running shorts like these

or the running skort

the nylon dries really fast
and a dry fit top

my trip is in 18 days, so I can order online IMO.  I'm also thinking I could take a good look at what I already have to see what I can make do with.

I do have some running shops nearby, I was just hoping there was some miracle fabric out there that I wasn't aware of smile

btw - I bought a bamboo dress from max studio - love it!  I actually plan to take it as it doesn't wrinkle badly

I read about nylon being a good choice - I'm just having a hard time finding any. Also, the temperature will be 40-50 while I'm running, so I'm looking for pants and long sleeves - I think I already have sports bras that will work.

I LOVE this top -

Insport Xodus Kinetix Tee - Long Sleeve (For Women)
It has silver in it, and it says on the tags will remain odorless through 5 workouts...I've tested it, and it's true!  Plus it provides just enough warmth for the beginning of my runs, but it's moisture wicking works great, so I don't overheat as I warm up.  I definitely recommend this shirt for cooler weather!!  Plus it has flatlock seaming, so you don't have to worry about chafing.

Under Armour is pretty good. It dries fairly quickly and breathes well.

I was going to suggest underarmour too.  I wear the coldgear in the winter and have heard nothing but good things about the heat gear.

i have two running skorts and absolutely love them.
