Men's Running Apparel
Fractel's men's running apparel covers the essentials for training, trail and everyday running: tees, singlets and long sleeves in breathable, quick-dry fabric.
Breathable fabric, clean fit
Most pieces use REPREVE, recycled polyester that holds up over long training blocks without the added bulk of a typical tee. Lighter fabrics handle the warm-weather sessions, and long sleeves step in once the temperature drops.
What REPREVE actually is
REPREVE replaces first-use polyester with recycled PET, which cuts the crude oil and waste water that go into making the fabric in the first place. It's the fabric behind most of this mens running apparel range, not a token sustainable line off to the side. Fractel's been a 1% for the Planet member since day one, and REPREVE is a big part of how that plays out in the fabric itself.
Dressed for the session, not just the season
A singlet or tee handles the warm months, and a long sleeve takes over once mornings turn cold. Pair either with a cap or visor from our headwear range and you've got a full kit without overthinking it.
Shop men's running tees, singlets or socks individually, or pair it with headwear for a full kit.
FAQs
How should I layer mens running apparel across the seasons?
Summer means a singlet or mesh tee on its own. Winter usually means a base layer, a warmer mid layer like a long sleeve, and a shell if it's wet or windy. Rain calls for water-resistant rather than fully waterproof gear, so sweat can still escape.
How do I layer without overheating?
Keep the base layer thin and moisture-wicking so it's not trapping heat against your skin, then add warmth in the mid layer instead. It's easier to peel off a mid layer mid-run than to fix an overheated base layer.
Do I need UPF-rated mens running apparel for summer running?
If you're out in direct sun for long stretches, a UPF-rated tee or long sleeve is worth it, particularly on the shoulders and back where sunscreen wears off fastest.
What fabric works best in mens running apparel for hot, humid conditions, merino or synthetic?
Synthetic technical fabric is generally the better everyday choice for hot, humid Australian conditions, it dries faster and manages heavy sweat more efficiently. Merino has its fans for its natural odour resistance, but it holds more moisture and takes longer to dry once you're properly sweating.
