Brittany's Three Summer Favorites
Summer is here and we have the gear!
We asked the staff what three things they are particularly loving on their adventures this summer. Read on for Brittany’s current top three summer favorites…
Brooks Chaser 5 inch shorts: I wear these all day AND for every single run in the summer. The waistband is thick and comfortable and the length is perfect for wearing around or sweating in. This year's version of the short has a pocket in the small of your back big enough to hold a phone. It's so comfy, I literally "lose" my phone and it's in my pocket and I don't even notice! I am constantly doing laundry just so I can get these shorts to wear again!
Feetures Elite Compression Sock
Junk headbands: These are also great for wearing around and for running! Great for guys or girls, they are moisture wicking and lightweight. They stay put once you start sweating, which let's be honest, is the second you walk out the door these days! I love all the fun patterns and solids.
Feetures socks: If you are dealing with blisters, hot spots, or any kind of rubbing, don't just blame your shoes. These are more often evidence of sweaty cotton socks. Feetures socks are moisture wicking, meaning they will keep the skin drier than cotton or a cotton/poly blend sock. The Elite sock has great compression and a deep heel, so they won't move around inside your shoe. I wear them any time I have closed-toed shoes on in the summer because my feet get sweaty pretty quick, but I am especially sure to have them on when working out!
