Running Trousers

Whether you’re working out in cool weather, training in the rain, or waiting between heats during a race, then a pair of running trousers is an essential piece of clothing. The best running trousers are designed specifically for the needs of the sport, and will help you run in greater comfort and with fewer distractions. 

Why buy running trousers?

Running trousers are specifically designed to help runners enjoy their sport. Although tracksuit bottoms are fine for occasional wear, a dedicated pair of long leg running trousers gives you several key features that generic clothing doesn’t:

• Breathable: When you work out, your body generates heat. Our running trousers are breathable, allowing that heat to escape through the material as well as strategically placed panels and holes. 
• Sweat wicking: Our running trousers are made from sweat wicking materials that transport moisture from your skin to the outside of the trousers, where it evaporates. The best running trousers are made from materials such as polyester and nylon which have wicking properties. Avoid training in materials such as wool or cotton, since they absorb moisture which will cause chafing and feel unpleasant. 
• Stretchy: Choose stretchy and lightweight running trousers that provide flexibility and a wide range of motion. This will allow you to move with complete freedom. 
• Water-resistant: Water resistant and waterproof running trousers are made with materials that repel water. This means your clothing won’t feel waterlogged and you’ll feel much more dry and warm when training in rainy weather. 
• Special cuts and design: ASICS’ running trousers include special cuts and designs that make them especially helpful for runners. For instance, the use of shaped knee panels prevents them from riding up or restricting movement at the joints, while ankle zips allow you to pull them on over your shoes. 
• Reflective features: People often wear running trousers to train in colder weather. Especially during winter, it’s beneficial to choose running gear with reflective panels or details that mean you’ll be spotted by cars in low light conditions.
