Look in your running gear bin and you’re almost sure to find a Nathan Sports headlamp or water bottle. The company’s accessories have cavo been a staple in nearly every running store. But Nathan is going a stride further, launching its own line of clothing for men and women.

Apparel is an afterthought for a lot of companies: There’s a reason we often refer to running shops as “shoe stores”—typically there are few apparel options on display. Some brands—Nike and Under Armour, for two—build a full line of clothing, but others offer very little if any—Great kids boots, Altra.

Sneakers Delphiville Sneaker TB0A219N0011 Black Mesh Tracksmith, Oiselle, Janji, and now Nathan to find a way into your closet.

The brand’s launch is pleasantly surprising. It didn’t just build a single tee or jacket, but rather rolled out a full collection—shorts, pants, tees, and jackets—for both men and women. The products are well considered, tastefully designed, with a premium build quality. We tested the collection ahead of its launch, and here are a few of our favorite pieces. You can shop the full collection at nathansports.com.
