Is Tracksmith's Clothing Worth The Money?

[@diktromdefilm]

My brighton shirt is expensive but so worth it cause I wear it almost every day in winter, no stink, no wear… love it

[@nigo1]

As a runner in Hong Kong, I truly understand tracksmith van cortlandt singlets or shorts do not work well in hot and humid climate. But I have been using for years, I can say that it’s durable and work well during fall & winter in Asia. Other that, the design always standout from the crowd.

Am from Singapore. What’s good for our region?

[@renemarchington618]

Female runner here; this is a question that is probably better suited for the TS folks, but do you happen to know why they do not make the half tights for women? There are 5" shorts and long tights, with nothing in between. I recently purchased the LS Harrier and couldn't agree with you more about the quality, etc. I plan on getting at least one more and a few short sleeves--love the fit and feel! I agree that TS is pricey, but I don't feel it is tons more expensive than a lot of other popular brands and their clothes seem to fit better. Thanks for the reviews!

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

Totally in the same boat when it comes to your question. I still don’t understand why garment length is determined by male/female-designated clothing. I wouldn’t mind some more options too. That said, if you’re able to figure out the size conversion, I see absolutely no reason why the Reggie tights wouldn’t suit any women looking for a half tight. Highly recommend them if you’re willing to give them a try!

Have a few grayboys and hoodies from TS. Also love the shorts from there and just purchased van cortlandt long sleeve

[@gregmacgowan6614]

I have a mix of things from Tracksmith (shorts, VC singlet, short and long sleeve tops, even a pair of gloves) and they don't feel like anything else I own - in a good way - and I own lots of tech gear (Nike, adidas, NB, ...). The Harrier and Downeast tops are especially comfortable and he's absolutely right when he says they look good enough to wear casually. My girlfriend even wears hers to work. My only complaints are I wish the tops had a little more length to cover more of my bum when I wear tights and I found the VC singlet more snug than I would like, even after going up a size.

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

Great points here, and I totally agree about the VC singlet. I far prefer their twilight singlet. The twilights has a much more comfortable material and feels a bit longer and more roomy.

Don't really see Tracksmith this side of the Atlantic. Probably due to import duties and tax etc. I think the European version would be Saysky out of Copenhagen. Big prices but good quality.

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

I’ve seen a lot of people sporting Saysky this year. Interested to try it at some point 🤔

[@runningscents2532]

Or soar!

Bro I am TrackSmith or bust now. I also have some beefy legs from 20 years of Hockey and they stay thicc. I Started with the Twilight series shorts (original and the split short) and like you said with the session line- the liners were the first I came across that don't bother me at all. Then I got the Van Cortlandt and I love them too. I think the brief liner in the twilight series is their super soft material but slightly less cool on a hot day compared to VCs. Sorry you didn't like the VC as much. I would love to try the Stratas but they are absolutely too expensive, no matter how good they may be lol. Plus white could be a little risky on a hot day if ya feel me.

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

Totally agreed, their clothes seem to work for nearly everyone. And yeah it’s a shame the strata collection is so pricey. They look awesome!

[@Jon-hb6gx]

The liners are too restrictive, I find. More stretch/give would be great.

[@MedicineRunner]

@@Jon-hb6gx what liners do you like? I’ve only tried a few other brands and they were more restrictive than these. Always looking to try something new.

[@jameskelley5918]

Y’all there’s a first time runner discount on the VC- I got it free after a purchase

[@1337V3NA]

What do you mean? The 20% welcome code?

[@ming-changchiang8923]

What is VC?

[@jameskelley5918]

Dude I am a tracksmith slut. My wallet hates me for my purchases but do I look and feel great (I get the most compliments wearing TS), and I feel more motivated to go out and they have a great community too. I’m saving up my money for the NDO tights/jacket.

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

I totally get it, and agree with the adage “look good, run good”. I really want to try their Turnover Half Tights that replaced the Reggie model. And I haven’t seen too many people talk about the Strata Half Tights.

[@jameskelley5918]

@ I live in Maine where we get all four seasons and the turnovers have helped me get through some cold runs. Not as compressed as like Nike tights but like the Reggies, “it’s like I’m wearin nothin at all”.

[@PogiSlice]

Wish Bandit had prices comparable to Tracksmith, especially as a NY native. Then again, TS has been around since I think 2013 while Bandit is fairly young est 2020. I will say, I would love the Eliot’s as a hybrid business-casual straight from the office to a run type of shoe. $198 I’ll pass though lol

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

I’ve seen and heard a lot of good things about Bandit!

[@tkwasik]

Eliot runner is expensive as running shoe, but taking you can actually wear it as running and casual - its probably only running shoe in my possession or in general that I would wear aside of run or gym - then $200 might be not that bad ...

[@jonwilson8178]

Just wondering on sizing for the harrier long sleeve, i 6ft and 75kg. Thinking large?

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

I’m 5’11” and around 73kg at the moment and own a large for the harrier. In that size for me, it’s a bit more of a relaxed fit that’s comfortable, but by no means form-fitting. If you’re looking for a slightly closer fit, medium might suit you.

[@gregmacgowan6614]

I'm about the same size as you and went for a large in the Harrier. My only complaint is I wish it had a little more length to cover more of my bum in tights.

[@BroccLeeAV]

Wool is cruel and not cool, go Vegan! I do have 2 half tights and 2 singlets from Tracksmith and love them but only use them for fast workouts and not marathon races since there's simply not enough pockets or roomier pockets like the 7 pocket Bandit half tights.

[@HobbyJoggerElite]

Love my Bandit tights!

[@tkwasik]

Buddy, you wanna be vegan or whatever, then be so, but stop imposing your way of life on others - why most vegans always think that their way of life is only correct one 🤔

[@jameskelley5918]

Wool is not cruel. Jesus. That’s like saying giving hair transplants is cruel.
