The Harrier offers a casual take on a long sleeved running top that can seemingly be worn in casual settings as well. The six colorways are all solid (literally and figuratively) in nature – providing a straightforward look.
It is a little more geared towards chillier temperatures with almost 90%+ Merino Wool. And us runners know the benefits of Merino – moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and odor-resistant features. We’d probably recommend sizing up again, but it seemed to fit a little truer to size than the Horizon.
As we leave Summer and head into Fall, one key item in all closets in the PNW should be a good baselayer option. Baselayers provide that extra bit of protection to keep the chill out and the heat in. The Brighton Base Layer can fit that bill. It’s a little pricy, but the Merino blend construction will for sure keep you happy.
While made to be worn under a tank or tee in the chillier months, it can absolutely be used as a standalone option. In fact, with the faint diagonal stripe that Tracksmith in known for, it’s begging to be shown off as well.
In all of these tops, I do wish the sleeves were just a tad longer, but ultimately I know I have longer extremities and ended up spending so much of the wear tests rolling my sleeves up anyways, that it didn’t really matter.
Tracksmith’s Turnover Tights are not new (actually a best seller), but have a few updates this fall. Outside of some delightfully fresh Fall colorways, they are extended for a full length option.
As far as tights go, these are pretty top notch. They are super lightweight and the Inverno Blend fabric is as soft as it is functional. I was able to get a full range of motion while not feeling constricted at the same time. They have been great on some cooler late-summer nights and will be even better as the seasons change even further.
All of these items come HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for your cold weather running needs.
