Women's Clothing: running and hiking

It's seven o'clock, the fine rain is falling and your leggings are waiting on the chair. On this page, women's clothing covers running, hiking and training, from tops to bottoms, including compression wear.

Start with the weather and the duration of your outing, then layer your items one by one.

How to put together a sports outfit that lasts

A good outfit is thought out in layers: a first layer that wicks away sweat, a second that keeps you warm when it’s cool, and a windbreaker if the weather turns bad. Keep it simple: each layer should be easy to remove without slowing you down.

The subcategories to find your piece faster

Tops: t-shirts, tank tops, jackets, and sweatshirts for every temperature.
Bottoms: shorts, tights, and leggings for running or walking.
Compression: form-fitting pieces for long efforts or recovery.
Socks and ankle socks: the detail that prevents chafing.
Accessories: headbands, gloves, caps, and belts.

Which brands to look at first

You can filter the page by brand, or go directly to the brands page. adidas offers training outfits that are easy to mix and match. Regatta and CMP mainly appeal to those who walk and hike. Joma and Craft are mostly for running and fitness sessions.

Running, hiking, training: three ways to choose

For running, opt for close-fitting cuts and lightweight fabrics. For hiking, look for more robust clothing with practical pockets. For the gym or strength training, freedom of movement is key: shoulders should be free, and the waist shouldn’t roll down.

Where to find cheaper women's sportswear

The special offers and new arrivals pages complement each other: one for end-of-line items, the other for seasonal pieces. Also check out women's good deals and the clearance.

Caring for your technical clothing

Wash in cold, avoid fabric softeners that clog fibers, and air dry. Your pieces will keep their shape longer, and the compression will maintain its support.

Putting together your first outfit

For a first outfit, start with just three pieces: a breathable top, a comfortable bottom, and a windbreaker layer. You can then add socks and accessories based on your outing habits, without overloading your bag.

Frequently asked questions

What clothing to choose for running in cold weather?

A technical long-sleeve top, tights, and a windbreaker that you can tie around your waist. Find them in the tops and the bottoms.

Does compression really work?

Many female runners wear it for muscle support during or after the workout. The sensation is personal: try it on a short run before adopting it for longer races. All the information is on the compression page.

How to avoid chafing on a long run?

Choose flat seams, socks that fit your size, and a fabric that doesn’t stay wet. The socks deserve as much attention as the rest.

What size to choose if you’re unsure?

Compare your measurements with the product size chart. For running leggings, a fitted cut without being too tight is ideal. If you’re torn between two sizes, think about the layers you’ll wear underneath.
