With the high temperatures this summer, I am grateful for any and all running gear that can keep me moving. ARTILECT’s Sprint Tee is built for a summertime run and for a quick dry afterward. Merino wool is a great fabric for making it through lots of washes without losing its color or shape. And it was just a short dry on the porch to get it ready for the next day’s run. I loved…
If you are anything like me, my midweek, long outdoor runs that were increased during the heart of the Pandemic have slowly trickled back more into reality. That means that, while I continue to work from from home, my days are busier and the best times from my runs are, once again, reserved for the weekends. We have known about Chubbies in other forums before (some friends swear by their lined pants and swimwear, but…
After a long and wet Spring, it’s finally time for short-sleeved outdoor running tops. We recently checked out the new Argon Tee from Outdoor Research. See all our posts on Outdoor Research! Reviewing shirts aren’t always the easiest because, unless it’s just trash, it’s usually pretty hard to mess up. This new tee is DEFINITELY not garbage and Outdoor Research really does a great job with this top so we want to highlight a few…
With the sunny days this July and August, I have been going for a lot more walks instead of runs. I am a Portland Girl who is ready to run in any amount of rain. But a day in the 80s or above will leave me in a melted puddle post-run. So it has been the perfect timing to try out the new Sizzle sunglasses from Tifosi. I love the teal color and the fit…
It’s always fun to stumble into a new company to us. Our latest review are a couple of new pieces from the running line of Cascada – an Italian brand that has its roots in the outdoor sphere. Their Spring/Summer running line provides functionality with cool and unique visuals. We have recently been trying out a few items from that collection. More about Cascada: We design our products in Trentino (North Italy), using them daily…
In 1972, the first official female competitors joined the starting line of the Boston Marathon. In 2022, females made up 43% of those finishing the 26.2 mile journey. I am so grateful for all the generations of female runners before me that have opened up the sport for the rest of us. Just one example of women taking up more space in the running world is in the shoe market where more and more brands…
Run Oregon has been aware of PATH Projects for a few years now. In 2018 we reviewed their hooded top, in 2019 we reviewed their awesome gym shorts (which I still wear religiously), and 2020 saw us check out a new pair of running shorts. This year, we are revisiting their line with a full kit of gear that showcases some of the latest and greatest in their running arsenal. More about Path Projects: PATH…
Obviously, with a name like Run Oregon, we are focused on running. But, as most PNWers are, we aren’t defined solely by our running prowess. We feel we are in the prime location for active exploration – whether that be running on the road, hiking on any number of trails, cross training in our local gym (or garage), or just being out and about in our beautiful state. Brooks, also a running-centric entity, is taking…
Since their inception in 2014, Tracksmith has been crafting high quality running clothes that hint at a vintage look, while providing the latest in material benefits. We recently checked out their Falmouth Shorts. See our other posts on Tracksmith! While men’s running shorts seem to skew on the shorter end (think 5″ and under), there is something to be said about those of us who prefer a little bit more coverage. While longer shorts are…
While we got a late start to warmer weather here in Oregon for the first time in a while, you know that’s not always going to be the case. LifeLabs, not exactly a running apparel company, does utilize science to create a few items that are wonderful for summer running. CoolLife Tee As far as looks go, these tops are supposed to be more casual but they actually can absolutely work in the running sphere. They are…
