Running apparel can be less than flattering on anyone not built like a runner. I am built more broad, likely from playing football and rugby in college, but the running shirts feel like they are cut for a slimmer person. Male 35 Still looking for the perfect shirt that never chafes wet or dry. Male 53 Shorts need pockets. Pants need pockets. Male 41 Have less branding with graphic prints. A small tag is okay, but I don't need to look like a brand superhero. Male 37 My ask is impossible but I'm ALWAYS between a medium and large. Medium is a bit tight in the shoulders but fits my torso while Large fits my shoulders but is massive in the torso. It'd be awesome to have a M/L. Male 41 We aren't walking billboards. Practice minimalism. Male 37 Create sustainable long-lasting items that resist stink. Male 38 Have tall options for multiple sizes, esp Medium. A LOT of runners are tall & thin, so I'm not sure why this isn't a regular option. Male 49 Prices are getting too high for single clothing items. Male 46 More cuts for mid aged men. Don't need to show off/strut or hang out. Male 55 How can you incorporate more sustainable materials, such as cotton and wool, into performance apparel over certain fabrics like polyester? Male 27 To reduce the stretch of waist band draw strings to almost no stretch. if someone wants to rely on the elastic of the waist band, great, but i tend to load up pockets, and when the draw string is stretchy, it doesn't help keep the shorts or pants from falling down. we don't use elastic shoelaces, why would we use elastic drawstrings? Male 45 Why does sizing vary greatly between brands? Male 30 Fit and something designed to hold items, keys, phone etc. that stays in place and not bounce around, so much, that your shorts fall off. Male 48 ON REFLECTIVITY If it is dark in color, make sure to add some sort of reflective piping/accents for safety/visibility Male 48 I like clothing with reflective qualities attached, I would ask brands to offer more for us early morning runners that are afraid of getting hit by cars. Male 39 Make them more noticeable at night. Most of my running stuff doesn't have reflectors. I wish running gear came with reflectors as standard. Male 27 Incorporating hi-visibility stitching or patches into the design of clothing for night running. Male 38 Could you make running apparel with reflective materials for low visibility running. Male 47 Still looking for some great "night run" options. Fluorescent/reflective material. Male 35 Reflective designs built in. Visibility is one of the most important things when running on the road and even trails. Male 33 designers to change one thing about running footwear in general, what would it be?
