About Stride

A short range of running and training kit, sold with the fabric weight, the fit and the seam detail written on the page.

Why the numbers are on the page

Most apparel is sold on a photograph and an adjective. You are told a top is breathable and lightweight and technical, and none of those words tell you whether it will be too warm at 18°C. The number that does tell you is the fabric weight in grams per square metre, and almost nobody prints it.

We print it. Every product page in this shop carries the fibre composition in full, the weight in gsm, the fit as either close or regular, the size range, and a plain list of how the garment is put together. Two pieces can then be compared against each other rather than against two different marketing paragraphs.

What we sell

Seven pieces. A running tee, a lined training short, a high-rise tight, a mid-support bra, a hooded mid-layer, a packable wind shell and a crew running sock. That covers most of a training week between them. We would rather carry a short range and know each piece properly than carry forty and describe them all the same way.

What we will not tell you

We do not publish drying times, wicking rates, temperature ratings or breathability figures. Every one of those numbers depends entirely on the test method used to produce it, and a figure without its method is decoration. If we ever hold a test report we can show you, we will publish the report alongside the number.

We also do not use athletes to sell garments. Nobody in these photographs is being paid to tell you a tee is fast.
