The Persist Lightweight T-Shirt by Dare 2b is made from super soft lightweight fabric with Q-Wic technology, so any moisture will be pulled away from the body. The tee is packed with anti-bacterial properties so you can stay fresh, has a reflective trim for those late-night runs and is available in a whole host of colours.
No matter how you are keeping active, a decent tee is a wardrobe essential. The Righteous II Recycled Lightweight Tee features Q-Wic technology to pull sweat and moisture away from the skin. It has a reflective trim for those who like to head out for a run at dawn and dusk, and is Consciously Made from lightweight fabric - Dare 2b uses sustainable fabric where it can and a huge amount of its clothing is now made from recycled materials.
The Recreate II 2-In-1 Shorts have everything you need from a running short. They have a lightweight outer and a silky soft Q-Wic stretch liner that moves sweat away from your skin. They’re quick drying, too, and feature an elasticated waistband and internal drawcord to keep them in place. Add to this a reflective trim for your night-based and early morning running, and a zipped pocket for your essentials and these are a must.
The Jenson Button Edit has some stunning items but top of our list is the Stay Ready Recycled Waterproof Jacket. Consciously Made from recycled ARED20/20 fabric, it has the breathability factor you want from a jacket while offering a huge amount of waterproof protection. From its taped seams to wired hood, this is one stylish jacket that has been designed to keep you warm and dry in all adverse weather adventures.
From The Laura Whitmore Edit, these Influential Recycled Leggings are made from recycled super-quick drying, lightweight Q-Wic fabric and have an all-important hidden pocket for stashing keys and the like. They have been designed to keep you cool, lift your sweat and flatter your shape. They are squat proof, too, so ideal then for those long sessions in the gym.
From the Jenson Button Edit, this Switch Out Recycled Waterproof Jacket is a fantastic waterproof that’s built for the UK’s rather unpredictable weather. It’s Consciously Made with recycled ARED 20/20 stretch fabric. This offers the ultimate in breathability and protection from the elements. Couple this with a durable water repellent finish, taped seams for complete protection, zip pockets to keep essentials safe, and this is a waterproof that you’ll want to wear whatever the weather.
Everyone needs a lightweight hoodie as part of their activewear and this one from The Laura Whitmore Edit is ideal. It’s a soft, stretchy and lightweight workout hoodie that’s made from sweat-wicking Q-Wic fabric. The Sprint City Lightweight Hoodie is quick-drying, has its own antibacterial odour control treatment, kangaroo style lower pockets and integral thumb loops
This sports bra is a layering staple for gym workouts or flows at home, comprising a racer back design, removable pads and the ability to move freely thanks to SeamSmart Technology. The Don't Sweat It II Sports Bra is a medium impact sports bra, from the Laura Whitmore Edit, that will make a huge impact when worn, thanks to its airflow diamond mesh, scooped round neck and snug fit.
If you are looking for a waterproof that’s been Consciously Made, is super waterproof and breathable then the Switch Up Recycled Waterproof Jacket is for you. From the Laura Whitmore Edit, it’s made of recycled ARED 20/20 fabric which has a water repellent finish, taped seams for full waterproof protection and zip-locked internal pockets for your things. Oh, and it looks fantastic, too, whether you buy it in Black, Capri Blue, Powder Pink or Meadowbrook Green.
Personally, we’d get the Women's Already Recycled Waterproof Jacket just for the ace Duck Green colour (other colour options are available as well), but there are many more reasons to purchase this one. As you can tell from the name, it’s Consciously Made from recycled fabric, is super waterproof and breathable for reliable rain and wind protection, and has taped seams and a durable water repellent finish to shield you from those pesky elements when you are on a hike.
