It's cold out there...
“This lovely shirt is an early contender for my Lakeland Ultra next year”
"I took mine out for a test ‘run’ and, despite the snow, I couldn’t bring myself to keep it hidden away. The material is honestly hard to describe — you really have to feel it to believe it. It has the softness of a second skin: no distraction, no rubbing, incredibly lightweight, yet warm and beautifully cut.I can’t wait to order more."
“Quality kit. Wore the base layer last night on a chilled 8 miler. Really interesting that even though it was mild I didn’t feel the need to pull up the sleeves once I was properly warm. Felt really good and didn’t notice I was wearing it. Great quality and comfy. Like the shadow logo on the front as well.”
“Absolutely love The Essential. The material is so soft and comfy, and the fit is perfect. This is my favourite running T-shirt right now. I wear it for everything."
“Absolutely premium running and relaxation gear”
“A satisfyingly good weight, high wicking and very comfortable to wear.”
“The T-shirt is almost like a second skin. Very very comfortable and very soft.”
“Soft, warm and looks great with the signature stripe. My beanie arrived in record time and I’m really impressed with the quality.”
“The cap is a great fit and well designed”
“Thank you! The kind of sweatshirt you ‘accidentally’ wear every day. Run Riot understood the assignment: comfort, style, fast delivery, zero disappointments!”
"The creative thought, detailing, quality, and styling that have gone into the products are next level. I'm living in the sweatshirt and beanie hat at the moment with this weather. Just got my Tee delivered and I'm blown away by it - gorgeous design and it feels like pure silk."
"The material of this base layer feels great. I really like the thumb holes and I like how it helped keep my hands warm - I don’t always like wearing gloves during a run, plus there is additional material to cover my hands. My usual tops do half the job. And I love the colour!"
Running is more than chasing your personal best. It’s release. It’s focus. It’s time free from interruption. It’s time for thought. Or no thinking at all.
We’re on a mission to make running tops that you love for their comfort, performance and look. Chafing seams, poorly placed labels, overly clingy or heavy materials… say goodbye to anything that stops you from focussing on your run.
Everything we make is for the everyday runner who appreciates both practicality and considered design. Our flagship product is The Essential. We set out to create a premium running T-shirt that matches the skin-soft feeling of cotton, with the performance and resilience of technical fibres.
Every item we produce starts with a sketch. The details matter. Form. Fit. Function. Not a stitch out of place.
Run. Release. Feel better.
It’s simple but profound to us. Running lifts your mind as much as your body, and that’s worth shouting about.
If you’re struggling, running can help. But CALM helps even more. That’s why we’re donating £2 from every Essential Tee sold to support their life-saving work.
