BY ACTIVITY / RUNNING
Running layers with movement in mind
Assess running apparel around the runner, distance, climate and what they carry. Review waistband movement, friction points and layering on a sample; performance claims need separate evidence.
01 / ACTIVITY & MOVEMENT
Direction and repeated motion
Build the range around the runner, distance, climate and intended level of use.
02 / COMMON WEAR QUESTIONS
Look closer at the points that move.
Use these questions to guide a sample review; the activity image does not establish garment performance.
Moisture-management brief
Describe the moisture-handling outcome the buyer wants to validate.
03 / HOW TO CHOOSE
From an image to an approved direction.

All product references retain their own SKU, colour and specification. Additions remain in your local project draft until an enquiry is actually submitted.
05 / FABRIC & CONSTRUCTION
Ask what the finished garment needs to do.
Waist movement · friction · carry needs. These are review points, not verified performance claims.

07 / BUYER QUESTIONS
Useful answers before the brief.
Which products can start a running collection?
Use the linked shortlist of documented loose shorts or other specifically assigned silhouettes. Ordinary leggings are not automatically included.
Does polyester automatically mean quick-dry?
No. Composition alone does not establish drying performance. Agree a relevant test on the selected material and finished construction.
How should support be specified?
Describe the target wearer, running conditions and assessment expectations. Confirm the complete garment rather than inferring support from an image.
Can reflective details be requested?
They can be included in a development brief. Material, location, feasibility and test requirements remain to be confirmed.
How are pockets reviewed?
First confirm the selected SKU has a pocket. Then specify contents and review retention, access and bounce during movement.
What should the sample review cover?
Fit, coverage, seam contact, garment displacement and relevant storage. Add explicit tests for any performance claims you intend to make.
COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT
Give your running direction a clear brief.
Bring the intended wearer, shortlisted styles and sample review priorities. We will confirm project details against the chosen SKU.
