We love running here at T3. Some of us run because we have to in order to test and review gear (Matt and Bryony), while others do it purely for recreational purposes. Either way, we clocked lots of miles among ourselves and tested a ton of exciting equipment, some of which we’ll share below.
Our selection isn’t just about the gear we’ve tested; it’s about the gear that stood out, and we believe it will revolutionise your summer runs. This list features innovative tech that elevates workout tracking to a new standard and apparel designed to keep you cool, even in the most intense runs. Each item has its unique selling point, making it a worthy addition to your running arsenal.
To see the latest and greatest running gear, check out Tt’s dedicated buying guides for thebest running shoes,best running watchesandbest running backpacks.
Acid Running SS24 Running Tees
Running is becoming the new streetwear, and no brands are monetising on this better than Acid Running. The company’s SS24 collection includes the Runners Fate T-Shirt and the Transcendence T-Shirt (pictured above), the former encapsulating what the runner’s life is all about: “A runner’s fate is to suffer. No clear beginning. No end in sight.” Both T-shirts and other garments are available now atAcid Running.

Nix Biosensor
Running wearables overcame many of the biggest hurdles in performance analytics in the past, but we had to wait until very recently to unlock the secrets of real-time hydration. Nix’s biosensor just just that, making it easier to stay on top of your liquid replenishment game during your runs.
The Nix patch detects electrochemical biomarkers in your sweat. Once you start perspiring, it can measure your sweat rate, electrolyte loss rate, and sweat composition, offering real-time advice via the Nix app.
The patch is single-use, which isn’t the most environmentally friendly approach, but they aren’t extremely expensive (you can get four for $25/£20). The sensor itself, which clips onto the patch, is sold for $129/£103. Head over toNixto find out more.

Ciele Elite Collection
Canadian running brand Ciele is a firm T3 favourite, and it recently added a few exciting models to its Elite Collection. The ultra-lightweightRCDSingletis made from recycled COOLmatic | EXPª performance fabric and wicks away sweat before it has time to materialise.
The material also provides some sun protection, although your arms are out, so don’t forget to apply sunscreen before heading out. To keep your head cool, add theRDCapto your arsenal – a highly flexible and packable cap from the brand that knows how to make headwear.

Bose Ultra Open Earbuds
It’s only been a few weeks since we started using them, but theBose Ultra Open Earbudsare quickly becoming our favourite running headphones. They are comfortable to wear, have brilliant sound, and, thanks to their open nature, allow you to listen to external sounds as well as your favourite music or podcasts.
They aren’t cheap, but especially if you like running in sunglasses, they are worth the money. They are some of the most comfortable and unique buds we’ve tried this year, that’s for sure. The earbuds come in two colours, too. Head over toBoseto check them out now.
